New features and changes

Update 28.1.2630.763 for mySparkrock 2026 release wave 1 introduces the following new features and changes.

Prevent prior year absence requests

mySparkrock now prevents you from submitting an absence request with a start date before your current attendance plan period, so that absence requests can no longer be booked against a prior year after year-end has been processed. This restriction applies to all cause of absence types.

When you create or open an absence request, the From date picker no longer includes dates before your current attendance plan period. Current and future dated requests continue to work as they do today. If you submit a request with a From date before your current attendance plan period, mySparkrock displays the following message:

Unable to save this absence request. The start date falls before the beginning of the current attendance plan period.MSR-1908, MSR-1909
