We are thrilled to present our Monthly Update, with enhanced user-friendly tools to elevate your HR experience. Our commitment to innovation and efficiency drives us to bring you seamless updates that transform your HR processes. For the month of September, we have the following enhancements:
1. Cross Company Manager in Travel
The travel request approval process has been expanded to involve managers from other companies within the same corporate group or umbrella organization.
It allows for centralized control and monitoring of travel requests across multiple companies. This is especially useful for organizations with diverse business units or subsidiaries, ensuring uniformity and adherence to policies.
Cross-company approval streamlines the workflow by eliminating the need for separate approval processes for each company. It saves time and reduces administrative overhead by providing a standardized system for travel approval.

3. Seamless Signature Addition
With our updated signature option, employees can now draw and type their signatures effortlessly, offering simplicity and flexibility. This user-friendly feature empowers employees to modify their signatures anytime, ensuring accuracy and personalization.
The seamless integration of this feature into the HR approval workflow ensures that every time you update your signature, it automatically goes through the approval process based on the configurations set by HR. As a result, your changes are swiftly reviewed and confirmed, keeping your records up-to-date.
4. Effortless Expense Cycles
With this enhancement, administrators can effortlessly establish specific expense date ranges, which can be paired with corresponding due dates for reimbursement claims. This ensures clarity and precision in your expense cycle, ensuring smooth operations for your entire team.
It allows employees to request claims only within the predefined date ranges. This smart system not only saves time but also ensures that all claims are processed promptly, without any delays or confusion.
This update also offers the ability to set exclusive expenses. This means you can specify certain types of expenses that employees can claim. Once a user claims a specific expense type, the system will not allow any blocked expenses to be requested on the same day. This control is fully customizable through the ‘restrictions’ page in the cloud portal.
5. Probation Extension Letter Download
This feature allows employees to download their probation letter in scenarios where their probation is extended, such as:
- when the manager decided to extend the probation and the employee agreed to it.
- when the employee disagrees with the probation extension and approaches their HR, who then extends the probation period.
It enhances efficiency by streamlining the probation extension process, ensuring transparency and trust among employees.
