⌚**Worker App end support notification showing incorrect time**

End of Support reminders were appearing after the support end time. An adjustment has been made to realign this message with its correct time applied.


**📅Total Hours cutting off start and end of week/fortnight - shared info prompt instead**

The worked hours on the Worker App only display the hours worked on a weekly/fortnightly period. 

Some Timesheets pay for the attached shifts either side of this date range as its deemed a continuous shift.

We have added an explanation to outline the difference. ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=c7ddf94d-f929-4a59-bd2c-91ce97ee5788 " =230x331") ![](https://support.caremaster.com.au/api/attachments.redirect?id=6eada9ea-0719-4d65-a990-b19aebd34d54 " =230x208")


**🗎 File viewer - Word Documents**

Message is being received on worker app when trying to open word documents ( PDF are fine ). file viewer for android app has been installed. Adjusted so all file types can be opened in a file viewer.

GPS Data was arriving for workers all set to 1 location. This was an error and the hardcoded location coordinates have been removed. Accurate location capture is re enabled.

This has been adjusted to now show the worker’s local time.

### 

🗒️**Worker app - incident submit error with dates**
