This article is subject to updates as we get closer to the release date. EmiratesHR reserves the right to add or remove features and enhancements to the release based on their readiness and whether they have successfully passed Quality Assurance. Features and enhancements that do not make the final release date will be delivered in a minor update in the two weeks following the primary release.
Enhancements
The underlaying software for backend services and front-end portal applications is upgraded to the latest LTS (Long Term Support) versions. This provides significant performance improvements and enhancement in security status. Although most users might not notice any differences in the platform itself, these upgrades enable the development team to deliver new functionality to the platform more rapidly.
Pay Categories are becoming more and more intelligent. As we progress through 2022, we plan to introduce multiple ways for Pay Categories to be assigned to an employee and for their behaviours to be modified dynamically during a pay run.
In this release, we have enhanced the currency assignments to a Pay Category.
A new employee Movement type has been added to allow for requests for an employee to change locations, organizational units, and roles.
Previously, you needed to tab through a number of screens in order to add the information of a new employee. We've enhanced this to enable you to add all employee data with a single data entry screen. Optionally, you can add only mandatory information when initially adding an employee and update the information later when it becomes available.
If you have more stringent compliance requirements, you can add a pipeline to the Add Employee process to enable multiple levels of validation, approvals, and notifications to be performed during the addition of a new employee. We recommend adding pipelines to these types of transactions as it eliminates the possibility of certain types of fraudulent activity, such as the creation of ghost employees.
The Contract Type field is now customizable and values can be defined through a custom list.
The EmiratesHR Documents feature now supports upload and viewing of MS Office Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents within the platform. This includes full interactivity and full screen support, so that you are able to interact with an Excel spreadsheet or run a PowerPoint presentation from within EmiratesHR Documents. There is no need to convert your office documents to PDF before sharing them in Documents.
ePub is a format for delivering interactive content such as user manuals. EmiratesHR supports the display of ePub documents with a full featured reader including support for searching, bookmarks and resuming a document after being read.
EmiratesHR provides you with a document editor that you can use throughout the platform for creation of new content such as documents, community articles, email templates etc. We have enhanced the capabilities of the editor and included the following capabilities (and many more).
- Equation editor
- Custom styles
- Past from Office documents with formatting retained
- Inline support for YouTube and Vimeo videos
- Form support, which allows you to create custom forms
- Ability to add buttons to call other sites as well as submit forms
- Embedding images in documents if they are less than 2 MB in size
- Ability to resize tables and images directly in the editor
- Support for adding <div>, which allows full layout control
- Emoji support
- Inbuilt chart creation
Pipelines allows you to automate many of your business processes such as approvals, notifications, tasks and route activities between different audiences. Pipelines are currently available for Payroll, Employee Add, Recruitment and will progressively replace all legacy Approval Chain functionality.
Pipelines can do so much more. They integrate with tasks, allow you to talk to external systems, can route tasks through any number of audiences, send emails, and approve and comment on tasks.
Pipelines are fully integrated with data containers and enable the collection of specific information based on the type of transaction you are performing.
EmiratesHR is delivered with a set of pre-packaged pipelines which meet the requirements of most organizations. If you wish, you can easily customize and test pipelines using the built in editor and sandbox tools.
Our Professional Services team also provides a new paid service to craft complex pipelines and associated content tailored to your requirements.
Content enhancements
The following new Export Template files are available:
- HSBC
- Freelance ENBD
- Oracle Fusion
