Release Version: v5.84 – 5.90
In our latest releases, we have implemented a range of improvements across TechlifyHR. This post aims to summarize the features we have released to improve efficiency and overall system performance.
Support for 3 and 4 Active Salaries per Employee
We are excited to introduce expanded multi-salary support in TechlifyHR! Organizations can now manage up to four active salaries per employee, ideal for team members working across multiple roles or pay structures. Once enabled under Administration -> Features, the system automatically calculates third and fourth salaries (basic_salary_3 & basic_salary_4) across all payrolls and reports.
Map Timesheets Directly to Specific Salaries During Import
Managing employees with multiple salary rates just got easier. We have updated the Timesheet Import File functionality to give you control of how hours are allocated across multiple salaries. If an employee has two or more salaries, you can now include the Salary Code (defined on the salary form) or Salary # directly in your CSV file so hours map directly to the exact rate meant for that job or shift.
Net Deduction Import
Managing employee deductions has just become more centralized. Previously, you were able to manage Net Deductions for each employee from their profile. We’ve added a page with all Deductions across your organization. This page can be accessed within the Payroll module, Net Deductions menu. Here, you can filter Deductions, such as getting a list of all Deductions for a specific period. You are also able to import Deductions you may have in an excel sheet.
Net Deduction Adjustment
Managing employees’ net deductions just got easier. As part of our latest update, you can now add net deductions directly from the adjustment interface on the payroll view page.
Basic Salary Deductions
We’ve added the ability to process deductions directly from an employee’s basic salary, before gross calculations. You can access this through the updated Deduction Form, which features an improved layout and new configuration options for deductible fields. Click the gear icon on the form to open the configuration page and enable the feature. Both Paysheets and Payslips have also been updated to include new columns that display the Basic Deduction total and its detailed breakdown.
Mobile App: Company Holidays Page
Keeping track of company holidays on the go is now easier. We’ve added a Company Holidays page to the mobile app. You can access this page directly from the mobile navigation menu by selecting Leave, then Company Holidays. Here, you will see a list of all company holidays so you always know what’s coming up.
Custom Employee Contribution Amount
Managing employee contributions is now much more flexible. We’ve added the ability to set custom contribution amounts for individual employees. This is highly useful for scenarios like credit union deposits, where the monthly deduction varies based on the staff member’s choice rather than a standard company-wide rate. We’ve upgraded the Contribution Employee Form to support this, allowing you to easily set specific deduction values per employee. Click on the gear icon on the form to open the configuration page to enable the employee and employer deduction fields.
Other Improvements
- Overtime Merged with Timesheets: Overtime entries are logged within the timesheet list page as standard timesheet records. Overtime rate breakdowns on payslips and paysheets are now displayed in chronological order this makes viewing easier to read.
- New Payslip Columns & Salary Breakdown: We have implemented new columns on payslips to give employees a clearer understanding of their deductions and salary earned. Detailed Gross Pay: Clear visibility into Gross Pay with Taxable and NT Allowances. Withholding & Contributions: Dedicated columns for Withholding Tax and detailed Contribution Breakdowns. Multiple Active Salaries: Seamless breakdown support for employees managing multiple active salaries.
- Pay Period Column in RBL Bank Export Files: We’ve added the pay period column to the Republic Bank Limited (RBL) export file format, making it much easier to read and understand exactly what payroll is being processed.
- Absent/Leave Filter: Managing employee absences and leave is now more straightforward. We’ve introduced a new filtering option that allows you to easily sort leave records by Paid, Unpaid, or Absent statuses.
- Improved NIS Report Aggregation: Generating specific reports on the NIS Aggregation Report page is now much easier and more reliable. Previously, if you tried to use multiple filters, the page might show incorrect results or even go completely blank, forcing you to refresh and start over. To fix this, we completely redesigned how the page works. Now, your report results will update smoothly and accurately.
- Alphabetically Sorted Import Fields: Finding the right fields when importing data is now much faster and easier. We have updated the import process so that all available fields are neatly sorted in alphabetical order. Instead of scrolling through an unorganized list, you can now quickly locate and select exactly what you need to ensure your data is imported correctly.
- Payroll Reports Columns: We’ve added a variety of new optional columns to both the Payroll Data Report and the Payroll Individual Report. You can now include specific details such as Basic Deductions Sum & Breakdown, Pasic pay 1, 2 3 & 4, Withholding Tax, Child Tax Credit, and Gross Taxable amounts.
