Exciting Enhancements in openHR – Designed for a Smoother Experience!
 
At openHR, we’re committed to continuously improving your experience by refining features to make your workflow smoother and more efficient. We’re thrilled to introduce new updates that streamline payroll management, reporting, and data handling. Here's what’s new:
 
🚀 Enhanced EMP201 Management
You can now only delete the latest EMP201 submission, ensuring accuracy and preventing accidental removals of historical data.
 
🖨️ Print with Ease
A new Print button has been added! It allows you to print only the items currently loaded on the page. Need more? Simply click the "Load More" button at the bottom of the listing and print as needed. Remember, you can always print any screen on openHR by simply clicking the Ctrl and P keys together on your keyboard. You can also save any screen as a PDF by printing the screen and selecting Save to PDF as the printer.
 
📊 Employees Report – Prints Even Better
We’ve changed the Employees Report to only print the reported data and no longer the selections, making your report more professional.
 
📅 YTD Totals Added
Year-to-date (YTD) report now includes annual totals per line item and section totals for earnings, deductions, nett pay, contributions and cost to company.
 
📥 Export to CSV – Simple & Efficient
A new Export to CSV button has been added which downloads your data instantly! Just like the print function, it will only download the items currently loaded. If you need more, hit "Load More" and then export when ready. This enables you to do further calculations or format it to your liking in Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, Apple Numbers, LibreOffice Calc, Zoho Sheet, Apache OpenOffice Calc and Gnumeric.
 
These enhancements are all about making payroll and HR management easier for you, more intuitive, and error-free! Try them today and experience a smoother workflow with openHR.
