Including the compliance changes. When a rule moves, the pack version that carries it is announced here with the date it takes effect.
Holidays became scope-based, and the compliance calendar picked up the Hijri dates behind it.
Holiday calendars by scope
Public holidays are set per company, per branch or per country rather than per branch only, so a group with entities in two countries stops maintaining two lists that disagree.
Hijri-dated holidays
Holidays that move with the Hijri calendar are dated per year rather than approximated, which is what keeps a payroll period’s working days correct.
The employee feed shipped, and work-from-home became a pattern rather than a one-off request.
Company feed
Announcements, acknowledgements and comments in the employee app, so a policy change reaches the people it applies to rather than a noticeboard in the office they never visit.
Work-from-home patterns
A recurring weekday pattern per employee, so hybrid arrangements stop being a request submitted every week.
Shift templates
Templates roll forward across weeks, with coverage gaps visible before the week starts rather than on the morning of the shift.
Attendance capture and the payroll run lifecycle.
Offline punch queue
A punch taken with no coverage is written to the device and syncs when the signal returns, with the state visible to the worker who took it.
Payroll run lifecycle
Draft, validate, approve, lock, disburse — with the variance against last month shown before approval rather than discovered after disbursement.
WPS file totals
The file total is now reconciled against the employee count before the file can be downloaded, rather than at the bank.
One email when a GCC payroll or labour rule moves. Nothing else — the sign-up is at the foot of every page.
