Payroll

Overtime for salaried employees

You can now pay overtime to salaried staff when they log unplanned hours on their timesheet. This makes time-based compensation fair and flexible across all employee types.

To enable Overtime payments for salaried staff, you will need to ensure that their attendance schedule contains relevant rules for when overtime should be applied. Learn more about Attendance rules here.


Attendance

See exactly how time is counted with clearer rule breakdowns. Plus, view timesheet entries in a visual calendar format for faster reviews.

Timesheet round-up notifications

Instead of multiple pings, you’ll now get a single notification summarising all pending timesheets. Cleaner inbox, quicker approvals.

Grouped in-app action items

Approve all at once or drill down into each item, timesheet actions are now grouped for bulk handling.


Tasks

Rich formatting

Task descriptions now support bold text, bullet points, and even links. Great for clearer instructions and references.
