Get a better view of Employee Documents

We've introduced a bunch of improvements to make it easier to browse and find employee documents in the flair HR app. 

Documents are now shown on one list with all necessary data available at once and you can filter them by categories. We've also added the ability to put notes when you upload the document. Handy, if you want an additional description or message. 

Another great option is that you can set the visibility of each document. If you select "HR", the document will only be visible in the HR Salesforce app. Good for sensitive information and to keep the Employee HUB clean.

Introducing Expenses in the Employee HUB🎉


We're happy to share our new Expenses feature in the Employee HUB. We've made it easy to submit claims and to review them. 

Employees can choose from pre-defined lists of merchants and categories. Or, create a new entry without ever leaving the hub. If the expense is associated with an ongoing project - just add it in.

Managers can review pending requests and track all claims up to a final decision. As simple as that. 

Try it out and let us know what you think! 🙂

New Shift planner Updates in Salesforce!🚀

We're happy to announce some new updates and improvements for our Shift planner feature. One of our main goals for these new updates was to give Admins/shift managers complete visibility and access for them to schedule shifts and view shifts across all locations in Salesforce.

Multi-Location and Single-Location Mode
Before now, the shift planner could only be accessed through a specific location and shifts could only be scheduled based on that location. Now, you can view your shift planner showing all employees from all locations or filter by multiple locations at a time. 

To access your multi-location shift planner, you start by navigating to the "Attendance" page and clicking on the 'manage shifts' button under the shifts sub-menu.

Users can still have the option to view shifts from a single location by selecting a specific location from the dropdown on the right side of the header bar. Open shifts can only be viewed and scheduled when in single locations mode.

Improved Filtering options
We have improved our filtering options across multi-location and single-location shift planner views. Users can filter by department, skills and locations in multi-location views. We introduced filter pills to help you easily remove a specific filter without having to reset them. These pills will appear at the top of the planner and all employee shifts relevant to the filtered options will appear which also include invited employees.

Departmental and Location View
We also created different access paths for shift managers to view and schedule shifts through specific segments. Similar to the location-based shift planner view, users can also view shifts based on departments through the shifts block on the departments' record pages as well as through the locations record page


Visible colours for predefined shifts in draft state.
Before now, we could not see the colour of our set predefined shifts in the draft state. So we made the outline of the drafted shift as well as the text of the time period in the predefined colour so you can ensure that you're getting the right colour-coded shifts before publishing.

Skills in Shift Planner
To avoid too many unnecessary skills being displayed in the shift planner, we have added an option to indicate when creating a skill if it should be used in shift planning. All employee skills that show in the shift planner are only those that were selected to be used in the shift planner when they were created



Shiftplanner Classic
For some of our users who are not keen on change and are comfortable and familiar with the current process and will like to continue using it, we have decided to preserve the original shift planner which we now call "shift planner classic". This can be found in the dropdown menu in the shifts block of the location page

Updates for absence requests

We know that sometimes you have to manage a lot of absence requests at a time. That's why we've added some updates to the page:

  • New filters by type, by employees, and others will allow you to select through the requests.
  • Apart from pending requests, approved and rejected absences are now also visible. You may find them in an "All" tab.
  • Employee's comments are now available at a glance — just hover over a "bubble" icon to read them.
  • Reading an absence request's details is still possible. Click on the absence dates to go there.

We are now working on the next updates for the absence requests, stay tuned! 😉

Your entire absence history in one place

Discover the new My Absences tab within your Employee Hub. It has all the history of your absence requests, showing whether they were approved, pending, or rejected.

Now you will never miss what's happening to the absence requests after you send them, may easily find out how many times you took a vacation last year or just observe your absences, whatever you need.

Check Employee Changes and Absences for Your Payroll Run

During the pay period, many changes and events may happen to employees. Some of them affect how employees are paid. For you to be "on track" with the meaningful events we prepared a bunch of updates for the payroll run page.

The Enhanced Overview is now showing a summary of changes and absences that employees had during the payroll period.

When clicking on the summarized data you'll see the details related to the exact employee and may mark each of the events as "to do" or "completed".

If you'd like to see all the changes for all the employees in the payroll run just select the Data Changes tab or Absences tab, and filter the data the way you need.

You may ask if we keep the salaries overview you had before — we do, with some updates! We moved the tabs with new hires, employees with salary changes, etc. to a filter, added filtering by statuses, and a great summary/average line below the table.

We hope that you find our updates useful and, as usual, we are all open to your feedback!

Introducing Expenses in Salesforce 🎉

We are happy to announce to you our new Expenses feature available on Salesforce. Now you can easily add expenses submitted by employees and track the process all the way to reimbursement.

You can navigate to the Expenses feature under the compensation menu or as a stand-alone menu on the tab bar. This view shows a detailed breakdown of all total expenses submitted, reimbursed, approved and declined.

It is important to note that to start using the feature you will need to add a list of "Merchants and "Expense categories" under the HR Admin section. This will enable you to easily select from a list of preloaded merchants and categories when adding an expense

We hope you enjoy using this feature. Please feel free to send us your feedback, we'll love to hear from you!
