Fixes

APICorrected an issue where the ImportEmployee API didn't deal with existing pay packets when an employee moves between pay groups.
ACC Subsequent Days PaidFor an employee with no work pattern, importing ACC Subsequent into a pay packet was inflating their Days Paid. Going forward ACC Subsequent will not contribute to Days Paid.
SLCIRA new pay packet warning has been introduced when SLCIR is used with a non SL tax code. This will prompt users to enter a Manual Pay Amount if required.
Days PaidWhen Days Paid was automatically calculated during a timesheet import and unpaid leave was applied via a Leave Request, Days Paid could be mistakenly reduced. This has been corrected.
