The team when a new product release goes live 🎉

We’ve made improvements to Net to Gross Calculator in pay runs

We’ve introduced a feature that expands on the existing Net to Gross Calculator at an employee level. The new feature allows users to easily import multiple employees’ net earnings into a pay run, in just one step.

The bulk net to gross import is available as a pay run action using the existing pay run import.

Learn more about the Net to Gross Calculator.

Gross to Net Report is now available in unfinalised pay runs

Users already have the ability to access the Pay Run Audit and Variance Reports within an unfinalised pay run, but now we’ve also made the Gross to Net Report accessible in unfinalised pay runs. This will allow users to get a more granular view of employee earnings as the report can be generated to display a breakdown of earnings by pay category.

Pay run approvers will also have access to this report when they are sent a pay run to approve.

Learn more about the Gross to Net Report.

You can now split earnings by dimension values

We’re making it easier to split employee earnings. Now, you can split employee earnings by dimensions as a default setting for auto-pay salaried employees.

This means that you don’t have to manually assign dimension values individually for every pay run created. Within the pay run, the system will create separate earning lines in order to calculate the earnings split per dimension value. The earnings splits will then flow through to the payroll journals (depending on the journal service you have selected).

Learn more about splitting earnings.

We’ve made improvements to Exit Interviews

Knowing why an employee leaves your organisation provides great insight into the overall employee experience. That’s why we’ve made it easier to find out this information.

The Exit Interview feature allows you to create a one-off exit interview survey, choose the intended audience, and then send it to the specific employee. You can also edit the question, publish any draft versions and delete an entry you no longer need.

Once you publish an exit interview, your employees can access it from their dashboard. For easy reporting, you also have the ability to download the responses as a csv file.

You can now add weighted questions in performance reviews

When reviewing performance, we know that some areas are more important than others. That’s why we’ve enhanced the Performance Reviews feature, allowing you to assign the importance of each question with an individual weighting.

Admins can now assign the relative importance of the rating questions in the template, and these weights will be used to calculate the weighted average (Overall Score). You can also choose to include or leave out the weights in the Overall Score calculation.

The advanced editor (build your own) is now available

Sometimes a one size fits all approach doesn’t always work. That’s why we’ve added a feature that allows for greater customisation. Our new advanced editor gives you greater flexibility to edit, issue and clone your own existing templates via Employment Hero (available on Premium subscriptions).

Learn more about basic vs. advanced editor templates.
