Hello again!
For our latest update, the Indigo team brings you a bundle of developments to cater to your ongoing Payroll and T&A needs.
In Payroll, we continue to facilitate adherence to the 2022 Malta Budget measures, while adding to existing functions such as Payslips, Reports, and SEPA payments.
For Time and Attendance, we have included more options in several places like the Scheduler, Penalty and Shift Presets, Clocking Devices, and others, to further improve usability.
Read on to find out all the good stuff that makes up this latest update!
