Hi there, 👋! This release makes Payroll Hub generally available, with one-off payments and overtime pay inside each run. New people now set up their own account in a short welcome wizard. Recruiters can add a whole stack of CVs at once, Time gets a public API for clock-ins, and requests can bring the right people in as collaborators. More settings and list pages move to the new design, and most lists now open straight away. Here’s what’s new. See full release notes → Live now · for accounts with Payroll Hub Pay one-off bonuses and overtime straight from the payroll run Payroll Hub is now generally available. You can add one-off payments, such as a referral bonus or a correction to someone’s pay, straight into a payroll run, for one person or for everyone in it, without going through a request. They count in the run right away, can be changed until the run is approved, and then go onto each person’s profile. Overtime and other hours paid at a higher rate, such as evening or night work, now appear on a new Premium hours tab in the run. The hours come from approved timesheets and overtime requests in Time. Each type is paid at the person’s hourly rate times its multiplier, under the compensation component you link to it in the attendance policy. A payroll manager adds a referral bonus for two people straight to the October run, then checks their evening and overtime hours on the Premium hours tab before approving it. ℹ️ Find it under Payroll Hub, Payroll runs. Adding one-off payments needs the Manage payroll permission and rights to edit compensation. To pay premium hours, link each overtime or special-hours type to a compensation component in Settings, under Attendance policies. Payroll Hub is a separate product: to add it to your account, please contact your CSM. Live now · for everyone Let new people set up their own account in a short welcome wizard Invitations no longer contain a password or a reset link that can expire before anyone opens it. Instead, new people get a Set up your account link that opens a short welcome wizard, where they choose their password, time zone and language, and set up two-factor authentication if your company requires it. If your company uses single sign-on, the password step is skipped, and the last step invites people to download the PeopleForce mobile app. Account owners get a few extra steps: they can add the company logo and brand colour, set the default time zone, language, name format and date format, and invite other admins to help set things up. On each profile, you can now see whether an invitation has been opened, and Send welcome letter is now called Invite person. HR invites the new warehouse team the week before they start, sees on Monday which two invitations are still unopened, and sends them again. ℹ️ Send invitations with Invite person on the person’s profile. Only people who can invite others see the invitation status. People who already use two-factor authentication still get a password reset email instead. Live now · for everyone Add a whole stack of candidates at once with bulk resume upload You can now add a whole batch of CVs at once (PDF, DOC, DOCX or RTF) from Candidates, a vacancy or a talent pool. Each CV fills in the candidate’s name, email and phone, which you check and correct in the Review step. Anyone already in your database isn’t created twice: they’re added to the vacancy, or skipped if you’re not uploading to one. In the Assign step, you pick the source, tags, vacancy, stage and talent pool for the whole batch. After a job fair, a recruiter drops a folder of CVs into Upload resumes, fixes one misread email in Review, and adds everyone to the Warehouse Operator vacancy at the Applied stage, tagged Job fair. A new Prospector (in beta, on request). The Prospector browser extension has a new look. From it you can now update duplicates, assign candidates to other vacancies and add them to talent pools. ℹ️ Find it under Recruit, Candidates (or on
