As part of the latest update to Speybl, we've added several new features to make managing your HR even easier and more efficient. Here's an overview of these new features:

 

Changing the requirement to enter a VAT number when filling in company details when registering for the app

We have decided to remove the obligation to enter the VAT number when filling in company details as part of the registration process. This decision is based on the need to simplify and speed up the registration process for users.

The previous requirement to enter a VAT number when registering for the application could be unnecessarily complicated and slowing down for some users.

Therefore, users now have the option to choose whether or not to add this information to their account at a later date. 

By removing the requirement to enter a TIN, we wanted to increase the accessibility of the app and simplify the registration process so that users can more quickly and easily access the features and benefits of our app and not be forced to fill in information they do not want to provide. 

It is important to note that although it is no longer mandatory to enter the VAT number when registering, it is still possible to add this information to the company profile within the app if relevant. This move is to respect the diversity of our users' needs and requirements, while providing easier registration for a wider range of users.

 

Deleting an employee's own attendance record

We are adding to the employee role the ability to delete their attendance regardless of their current status. This expanded functionality brings several benefits and advantages that make it much easier for employees to manage their attendance.

The ability to delete attendance in any state provides employees with greater flexibility and control over their data. It may happen that an employee makes a mistake while entering attendance or realizes that their record is incorrect. With this new feature, the employee does not have to wait for approval from a supervisor or administrator, but can simply and quickly correct the inaccuracy and create a new, correct record themselves.

The ability to delete attendance records in any state also brings efficiencies in terms of time savings and the effectiveness of keeping individual records up to date. The employee does not have to wait for a competent person to edit or delete attendance records, saving time and simplifying the attendance management process. The employee can respond immediately to any changes or the need for editing, keeping their records in line with their actual hours worked.

Last but not least, the update will minimize administrative tasks for supervisors and competent persons. The employee is able to independently correct inaccuracies in attendance, reducing the need for communication and interference from supervisors or administrators. This results in a reduced administrative burden and allows supervisors and administrators to focus on other important tasks and responsibilities.

 

Adding a "My Settings" tab for an employee role 

In the employee's user profile settings (found in the top right corner of the screen), there is now a new "My Settings" tab. The tab is included in the drop-down menu under the "My Profile" tab. 

In terms of operation, the "My Settings" tab allows the user to manage the settings of their user account. 

 

Notifications for company anniversaries 

Adding notifications for anniversaries in the company gives employees the opportunity to remind them of their professional anniversaries and celebrate their work anniversaries. With this enhanced notification, employees will be notified of their colleagues' important anniversaries directly in their alert. 

Immediately upon opening the alert, employees will notice that one of their colleagues is celebrating a work anniversary.

Managers and colleagues can use the information from the notification to express their appreciation and congratulations.

This feature encourages more personal and sincere interaction between employees and creates a pleasant atmosphere in the work environment.

 

Increase the maximum size allowed for uploading files

In order to improve the user experience, we have decided to increase the file upload size limit.  

With the newly introduced increased file upload size limit, users can easily share larger documents, multimedia files, presentations or other graphical materials without limitations. The limit change is primarily targeted at users who work with large files and need to upload and share them with others conveniently and efficiently.

With this expansion of the upload file size limit, our users no longer need to be restricted in transferring their files. They can fully focus on their work and collaborate effectively with their colleagues and teams without worrying about exceeding the limit. 

 

In addition to adding new features, we have made the following improvements: 

 

  • A minor adjustment has been made to the attendance checklist to optimize this feature. 
     
  • An adjustment has been made to secure the connectivity of the application and its communication with the server. Also, a regular database security check was performed. 
     
  • Turning the mobile device while using the app now prevents the page from reloading. As a result of this modification, the user-friendliness for users using the application on mobile devices has been improved. 
     
  • The loading speed of template documents has been optimized. Internal loading and processing mechanisms have been improved resulting in a reduction in the time users spend waiting for a response. This optimization resulted in time savings and improved productivity when working with documents.


As part of the update, improvements were also made to security, application response speed, and minor bugs and bug fixes.
