Week of January 26 - February 1

🌈 Admin Panel: UI Permission Consolidation

You now have a new UI permission for Employer Admins that consolidates permissions for Pricing Plans and Employment Management Fees into a single category. This provides more granular control over sensitive data, enhancing privacy and information security standards.

Week of January 19-25

🚨 Contractor Management: New Fields for Canadian Verification

This update introduces two new fields specifically designed for Canada Business verification in the contractor management process. To streamline onboarding and reduce the number of Requests For Information (RFIs), a file upload feature has been added to the directors form, allowing users to attach supporting documents for current directors. Similarly, a file upload option in the control of company form will allow users to provide an ownership chart or any document demonstrating the overall shareholder structure.

This enhancement ensures that all necessary information is collected efficiently, facilitating compliance and ease of use for legal entities in Canada.

🎁 Contractor Management: Streamlined Bank Account Verification Process

We have introduced a streamlined process for verifying bank account holder names. When you attempt to add a bank account that doesn't match your name in the system, you are now required to upload proof of ownership during your request for review.

This enhancement facilitates faster compliance checks by our team and eliminates the need for back-and-forth communication previously required for document submission. You can find the uploaded files in your personal files section, categorized under a new type labeled "Bank account holder name." This change makes the verification process quicker and your experience more efficient.

🎊 EOR Hiring: Automated Risk Reserve Invoices Update

This update introduces an automated feature for risk checks and reserve payments during the Employer of Record (EOR) hiring process. Now, when employers request an extended notice period during onboarding, our system automatically adjusts the risk reserve invoices to factor in both legal entity policies and employee-specific notice period policies.

This ensures that invoices accurately represent the risks associated with hiring, enhancing financial transparency while improving compliance and operational efficiency.

🎭 Pricing Plans: Discount Queueing Feature Released

Account admins can now manage future discounts on pricing plans with the new Discount Queueing feature. This allows you to edit existing discounts, add new ones, and remove unnecessary discounts all at once.

With this update, you can set and manage multiple discounts concurrently, reducing the need for engineering interventions. Create future discounts without waiting for current ones to expire, enhancing your negotiation flexibility on order forms.

🌟 HRIS: Automated Login Email Transition After Offboarding

Employers can now seamlessly manage employee login emails to ensure that offboarded employees retain access to their Remote profiles and essential employment records. Once an employee is offboarded, Remote will automatically send a login email change request to their verified personal email, enabling them to confirm the switch.

This update significantly reduces the manual work required by support teams and enhances the overall offboarding experience.

🔧 Benefits: Ireland Pension Support Released

Ireland Pension Support has launched, streamlining pension setup and contribution updates directly within Remote. Enrollment can now take place on the first day of employment, crucial for timely onboarding.

Employers and employees can select their pension plans and enter necessary information during the onboarding process. EOR clients can access pension data within employee profiles integrated with scheme-specific rules in the Administrative Details section. For Global Payroll clients, pension schemes are configurable per entity, with pension details managed in the Pension Details section. This update reduces delays and centralizes pension management, aiding compliance with Auto Enrolment requirements.

Week of January 12-18

🎨 Remote: Enhanced Employee Login Options

Remote now allows employers to select whether employees log in using their work email or personal email directly from their employee profile. This update supports employers with stricter security requirements by favoring work email-based access during employment, while still enabling employees to access their documents post-employment.

This enhancement simplifies the onboarding process and reduces security risks associated with personal emails, providing a more secure and efficient user experience for all parties involved.

🎷 Customer Expense Review: UI Refresh for Better Clarity

We have implemented a refreshing UI update on the customer expense review screen. The new design now prominently displays expense-related information, enhancing overall readiness and clarity for users.

Manage this feature easily with a toggle button located within the Invoice settings menu. Navigate to Company settings > Pricing plans & Invoices > Invoice settings to access it. Aggregation rules apply per Customer Legal Entity, including criteria such as the same bill-to entity, payment terms, and issuance day within the cut-off window (invoices generated before UTC 18:00 on the same day). Invoices and credit memos will continue to be sent separately.

Week of January 5-11

You can now create custom roles based on the managing legal entities of employees, allowing for more tailored access controls and reporting within Remote HRIS.

Moreover, all applied filters are now synchronized with the rating distribution graph, making it easier to visualize performance across different groups. A planned feature will allow filtering down specific reporting lines for more granular insights into team performance.

⭐ AI Chatbot: Introduction of Payslip Breakdown Feature

You can now access the *Payslip Breakdown* feature in our AI Chatbot, providing detailed insights into your payslips. Whenever you have questions regarding your pay, such as discrepancies in net pay or inquiries about tax deductions, you can get personalized answers based on your actual payslip data.

For example, you can ask the chatbot questions like: "Why is my net pay different this month?" or "What are the tax deductions on my payslip?" This enhancement streamlines payroll-related queries, allowing you to better understand your compensation.
