Absence Pay Rules
You can now define absence pay rules that automatically adjust pay based on allowance usage, no more duplicating policies to handle different compensation scenarios.
Add pay multipliers to apply dynamic rates after a threshold is reached. For example, if your company covers only the first 10 sick days at full pay, you can now set a rule that adjusts pay automatically once that limit is crossed, all within the same absence policy.

Pay items for Direct reports
Managers can now view and create one-off pay items for their direct reports directly in Zelt. This empowers teams to handle bonuses, allowances, or other adjustments without relying on admins.
Once enabled in Company Settings, managers will see a Pay items section in their employee's profile. Any additions will be automatically picked up in the next payroll run.
