December 2025 Release Notes

Attendance 

Kiosk Clock In / Clock Out – Seamless Attendance for Shared Workspaces

• Teams work in shifts or on-site locations like factories, warehouses, retail outlets, or healthcare facilities
• Quick, centralised check-in/out is preferred for operational efficiency

Key Features:

• Users can securely clock in/out using a personal PIN to prevent buddy punching and ensure accurate tracking.

• All clock-in/out entries are recorded instantly and synced with the user's attendance record in the platform.

Rota & Shift Management

Rota Shift Time Gap Warning (UK Compliance)

• If a rota violates this rule, the system issues a warning during scheduling.
• Admins can customise this threshold to meet organisational or regional standards.

4 week & 8 Week Working Schedule Support

• Time Off – Leave entitlements and usage reflect alternating working/rest days
• Attendance – Accurately tracks hours in complex shift cycles
• Timesheet – Maps logged time against scheduled shifts
• Rota – Easily configure 4- or 8-week cycles with repeat logic

Reporting Enhancements

Advanced Report Filters

New Report Templates

• Timesheet Report – A detailed report that includes clock-in/out times, total hours worked, exceptions, and compliance with shift schedules.
• Headcount Per Department – Provides a clear view of employee distribution by department, helping track growth, movement, and structural changes over time.
• Policy Balance Page – Filter Additions – You can now filter policy balances by department, role, location, and more, enabling granular analysis of leave entitlements and usage.

Exclude External Workforce from Reports

Time Off Enhancements

Show/Hide Allowance Setting

• Admins now have the option to hide leave balances (allowance) from employees. This is useful in scenarios where allowances are dynamically calculated or discretion-based.

Non-Blocking Calendar Events for Time Off

• New policy setting allows certain time off types (e.g. WFH, medical visits) to be recorded without blocking the calendar, supporting hybrid and flexible work scenarios.

Admin Controls: Delete, Cancel, Amend Leave

• Cancel or delete leave directly from the leave calendar
• Amend or reschedule existing requests
• Cancel leave when users move to a different policy, avoiding overlap or inconsistencies

1-on-1 Enhancements

Adding Historical 1-on-1s on Platform

• Users can now add past 1-on-1 records, making it easier to review discussion history and action items across time.

Users Can Now Schedule 1-on-1s

• Previously limited to managers, the ability to initiate and schedule 1-on-1s is now open to all users. Employees can now book time with managers or peers, encouraging open communication and self-initiated performance check-ins.

Value List Management – Centralised Dropdown Control for Admins

We’ve introduced a new “Value List” section under Admin > Settings > General Settings, giving Admins the ability to manage dropdown options used across the platform,  all from one place.

What this means:

• All dropdown fields that rely on editable value sets (e.g. departments, job title,reasons for exit, rejection reasons, etc.) are now centralised under the Value List page.

• Admins can add, edit, or remove values

• The updated values will automatically reflect in all relevant modules and forms where the dropdown is used.

Hire Module Enhancements

Custom Interviewer Emails

• Admins can now configure custom email templates for interviewer invites, tailored with instructions, tone, and branding.

Custom Rejection Reasons

• Create and manage a custom set of rejection reasons that reflect your organisation’s hiring process — helping with consistent communication and tracking.

Survey Automation

Event-Based Survey Scheduling

• Surveys can now be triggered based on specific HR events such as onboarding, Start date, Probation, etc; enabling smarter, more contextual employee feedback.
