  • Leave default overrides in employee profiles now have ultimate priority
  • Pay rates can be deleted directly from the employee’s profile
  • Employee photos can be deleted by hovering over the photo
  • Company logos can be deleted from the company manage profile screen in the same way as employee photos
  • Improvements in Subscription management including backup payment methods

These changes are designed to simplify and improve flexibility in managing your workforce data. For more updates, please follow us on Facebook, X, and YouTube.
