Small but big updates

10 Mar 2024
Lightning Fast

Although we wanted to give small businesses a free HR and payroll platform to use, we have been excited to see larger businesses join us. This have caused loading issues for them specifically with the employee index page and the payslip index page as those are limited to thirty and trying to load more took some time. Without the need to acquire additional infrastructure and with minor cosmetic changes, we were able to reduce loading speeds at least 20 times.

Some other updates:
 
 
- We corrected the time of the audit trail from GMT to GMT +2
 - Large company logos caused emailed payslips to format over 3 pages, this was fixed
 - Emails from us will now have a label openHR Support to make it easier to get for our Gmail friends who have only been seeing "hi" in the from field
 - Some company users weren't able to delete, this was fixed. You must still have at least one company user with company permissions
 - Our email verification email now have some updated steps with our changes to our employee index
 - We've added an additional monitoring layer in our security over and above the security which we already had
 - For users working with multiple openHR tabs, we updated the tab titles to make it easier to navigate
 - We brought back the email button in the payslip index to quickly send individual payslips
 - We also fixed a minor issue where there would be an error when no permit supporting document was attached
 
 Every question we receive from you, helps us to improve. Thank you.
