We have added additional validation to our employee records. Administrators will no longer be able to set payroll details for an employee who doesn't have an email address within the contract - organisation tab. Within the pay, payroll tab you will see a red error message advising you the employee's email address is missing.

If you are using our PAYE software InPay, you will now notice that if an employee's payroll number is updated in InPay, it will automatically sync and update the employee's record in People Manager.

Previously you may have experienced error messages due to the names of departments, locations, divisions being case sensitive. For example, if in InPay a department is called Data And Analytics, but in People Manager it is called Data and Analytics, People Manager would believe the department needed to be created, but InPay would reject this as the department already existed. This will no longer be case sensitive, and the two systems will recognise that the names exist regardless of capital or non-capital letters.

You can now request to hide titles from the summary page, and an employee's home page. This is done at company level, so all titles will be removed for all employees. If you wish to have this enabled, please speak to support.

You may have noticed calendar requests going to the manager, instead of the employee whose calendar was being requested. This will now work as expected. Go to submitting an absence & viewing calendars to see how to request to view a colleagues calendar.
