But that’s not all—here's a chocolate bunny 🐰 in the form of the new ESG Classification field in the Occupation support file.
You can also schedule payslip publishing to run on a specific date and time, with the scheduling user kept in the loop via email.

🌟 Feature Spotlights 🌟
💰 Position History (Basic Pay) tab
You might think it's impossible to travel through time and change things. Well, prepare to be surprised! The new Position History tab (formerly Basic Pay) in the HR > Employees section is like your personal time machine ⏳. Now you can officially keep track of any Basic Pay 💰 changes that happened in the past and plan for the future by simply inserting an effective date. Often, changes in Basic Pay are closely connected to changes in Occupation, Department, or Cost Centre, so we decided to make your time travel more precise by including them too. Ready for a final contented smile 😌? We've also added Sections, Units, Grades, and Locations to extend the functionality.
The Position History (Basic Pay) tab is being rolled out slowly over the coming days. In the meantime, you can get familiar with the new functionalities by clicking the button below 👇.
⏲️ Scheduled Payslip Publishing
Longing for a new Payroll feature? Let us introduce you to the shiny new Schedule button! Click it to set your preferred date and time, and the system will take care of the rest by automatically publishing finalised payslips at the scheduled moment. You can find this new button in Payroll & Leave > Payrolls > Payslips button > Payslips - Run page.
But that's not all: an email notification system has been implemented to keep the users who scheduled the process in the loop with the results.
