Oct 21, 2026: v1.779

This release covers Time Tracking, Absence Management, Recruiting, Compensation, Expenses, Settings, Reports.

🆕 New Features

Recruiting, Settings: Recruiting admins now have a single Recruiting Admin page in the Recruiting app that replaces the Recruiting Config tab. It brings candidate email settings, scheduled email defaults, recruiting integrations and dictionaries together, links to every recruiting setup object, and adds a Privacy & Data Retention screen for candidate and talent anonymisation rules.

Absence Management: You can now turn on "Full units only" on an absence category so employees can only book full days or whole hours, with no half days or partial hours. See Require full units only.

Absence Management: Accrual policies have a new "Use Carryover First" option, so days carried over from the current period are used first when employees book absences in the next period. You can now also edit an accrual policy that is already assigned to employees; the affected allowances are recalculated in the background.

Absence Management: Admins can now correct the expiration date of an allowance created by an automatic accrual policy, for example to extend a carryover. The corrected date is kept when allowances are recalculated.

Compensation: HR managers can now build worker categories with a new wizard on the Equity Audits page. It suggests which roles belong together, lets you arrange them on a board, and asks you to approve each category before anything is created. With flair AI for HR, it also drafts each category's description and criteria.

Time Tracking: Admins can now limit which employees planners can add to a scheduler with the Add Additional Resources Filter in the scheduler's setup.

🔧 Improvements

Time Tracking: You can now manage the predefined shifts of the new Shift Planner in one place, on the new Predefined Shifts tab of the Attendance page, and search and filter them across locations, departments and projects.

Time Tracking: The Timesheets tab in Attendance now works like the Employees list: filter by employee, entity, location and department, add filters on any timesheet field, choose your columns, and save the combination as your own view.

Time Tracking: Planners can now filter the scheduler to show only employees with shifts or without shifts in the shown period. The choice is kept when you reload the page or share the link.

Time Tracking: The shift planner is much faster on large teams. Moving or resizing a shift no longer reloads the whole board, edits and filters redraw only the rows that changed, saving a shift takes less time on the server, and month and six-month views load faster.

Time Tracking: Publishing a large shift plan now finishes about a third faster, and every employee receives their new-shift and open-shift notifications, even at locations with many employees.

Time Tracking: Printed schedules now leave out employee pictures, initials, time balance and hours in the employee rows, making them easier to scan.

Time Tracking, Absence Management: HR admins can now enter manual time balance adjustments in hours and minutes instead of converting everything to minutes.

Absence Management: With an active absence change request form, employees can now request changes to single days of an absence: switch a day to a morning or afternoon half day, shorten the absence, or move the freed days to new dates.

Expenses: Managers and HR can now see the VAT and the net amount of every expense line, both in the expense details and on the expense item.

Settings, Expenses: Admins can now hide, reorder or require the standard fields of the expense form in the Employee Hub through Extra Form Fields.

Recruiting: When your Salesforce validation rules reject a career portal application, candidates now see each rule's error message under the affected field and can correct it and submit again.

Time Tracking: The Projects tab in Attendance now loads much faster for companies with many projects and shows them 50 per page.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Time Tracking: Time entries created automatically from the work schedule now book the rest of the day when an employee has an hourly or half-day absence, instead of creating no time entry at all.

Time Tracking: The email managers receive for a time entry change request now shows every break the day will have after approval, including breaks already on the entry.

Time Tracking: Night shifts no longer lose one minute before midnight when a time type ends at 23:59:59.

Time Tracking: The shift planner now shows absences only to users who are allowed to see absences.

Time Tracking: If the connection drops while you add, move or delete a shift, the planner now explains that the change may already be saved and reloads, instead of showing an error.

Time Tracking: When a new shift breaks a blocking rest period, the planner now shows the rest-period message instead of a technical save error.

Time Tracking: German and French planners now see the printout date label and the message for moving an already deleted shift in their language.

Time Tracking: Publishing fewer than 50 shifts now shows a success message, and new shifts on location and demand layouts show a loading placeholder while they save.

Time Tracking: Deleting many shifts at once, for example from a list view, no longer fails when the selection includes the first shift of several repeating series.

Reports: You can now export flair reports to Excel or CSV again in orgs where the export failed. The same fix applies to exports from equity audits, compliance audits, performance review analytics and absence allowances.
