November 4, 2020

This release from the Big Chip Lab brings new features, improvements, and bug fixes that improve the overall experience of the Human Resources > Employee List. To make sure you don't miss a thing, keep an eye on this section to see all updates. 


New

  • Past Employees
    You can now add employees that have worked within your group back into your Employee List.
    Click this button in the ribbon and search by Name or Email. 
    No need to email us anymore - yay! :-)
  • Internal Hire
    This feature is our take on employee transfers.
    Add anyone who has an Active status from any location within your to your Employee List.
  • Temporary User Expiration
    Employees that are entered in error - or - leave their Welcome Package for 7 days are automatically removed.
    Look for the countdown in the Status tag > Incomplete (7d) 
  • Today's Check-in
    The results of the employee Daily Check-in are now shown in the 'Today's Check-in' column.



Improved / Updated

  • Filter (Same lookin' dude... just smarter!)
    You can now use the filter to search the employee list for Roles - no need to have its dropdown.
  • Quick Add
    When hiring a new employee - you can add up to 5 roles at once!
    You can also set their compensation type to hourly - or - salary - and even enter the salary amount.
  • Password Reset (See ya later 'Select & Send' - it's been fun - but not really.)
    Add as many names into the new Password Reset field.
    We will automatically send either Welcome Package or Password Reset on your behalf
  • Multi-location Identifier
    When looking at the employee list, you may find (2l) or (3l) after an employee's name.
    This means the employee is active at 2 or 3 locations within your group - whatever the count may be.



Fixed

  • Sorting by Date
    Sorting by date actually works now... sorry about that. :-S



Notes

  • Phasing-out the Label 'Departments'
    We are also renaming the 'Department' dropdown to 'Scheduling Group' to better reflect some upcoming changes.
  • Phasing-in a Global Location Selector
    You may notice that the location switcher is now part of the Employee List tab.
    Our goal is to have this on every module + tab have this with upcoming updates.

 


PS: Monte says hello + is super ready to jump into a nice pile of raked up leaves! :-)
