Product Update March 2024

It’s March already, which means one thing – we’re back with another edition of the Employment Hero product update. With 2024 in full swing, we’re sharing all the product updates we’ve been hard at work on this year.

Over the last month, we’ve created a new build your own chart feature, added a setting for annual policy acknowledgement, enhanced performance review management, made rostering available for HR platinum customers and lots more. It’s all here and ready for you to use in-platform – let’s get to it!

You can now access the Build Your Own Chart feature in the new Build Your Own Report experience

We know you love our Custom Reports feature, which is why we’ve been making it more useful for your business operations.

That’s why we’re excited to announce a brand new Build Your Own Chart feature in the new Build Your Own Report experience. Now you can level up your insights with customisable charts, improved data fields, and a dynamic visual experience, available now on Platinum and Premium subscriptions.

Set induction content and policies to be acknowledged annually

Compliance is on every business leader’s mind right now. That’s we’re making it easier to stay one step ahead with the launch of our new setting, allowing induction content and policies to be renewed and acknowledged once-off or once a year.

When set to yearly, the induction content or policy will be marked as required, and employees will be notified via email to acknowledge the document one year from the existing acknowledgement date.

Enhanced performance review management

Say hello to new custom security groups to help you view and manage performance reviews better. These enhanced settings allow you to provide those who need to be informed with greater flexibility and transparency when managing performance.

Performance review management

This custom security setting allows users to manage questions, templates, and review periods. This group will not be able to view review responses.

Performance review responses

This custom security setting allows users to review responses both in the platform and in the downloaded reports.

Rostering now available for HR Platinum customers

We’ve unveiled a new rostering tool for HR Platinum customers. This feature will allow admins and owners to tap into a whole new range of capabilities, including:

• Create, edit, publish and unpublish shifts
• Enable custom security settings to allow employees and managers to view, modify and delete shifts within the roster
• Automatically notify employees of published or unpublished shifts via email and Swag
• View assigned shifts via the Swag app
• Create rostering templates

You can now import timesheets from LightSpeed Restaurant O-Series

We’ve launched a timesheet integration with LightSpeed Restaurant that allows you to import your Lightspeed Restaurant (O-Series) employees and their timesheets to the payroll platform. This is just another way we’re helping you streamline your HR and payroll processes.

Note: To use this feature you must have a valid Lightspeed Restaurant (O-Series) account.
