Empower your HR team to redefine how they manage and maximise their organisation’s human resources.
There’s a plan for every business: Introducing Indigo Attendance Essentials!
Software at its best makes your complex processes simple.
As we enter 2022, we are taking some time to round up the top features released throughout 2021.
To ensure that our users have the best tools on the market to manage their payroll, attendance, and HR functions, our team regularly releases updates for Indigo. Besides giving the Indigo Suite a refreshed look, there have been numerous feature add-ons to our Payroll, Leave and Attendance modules.Here’s a look at what our team got up to last year.
You can now switch to Indigo as your payroll provider any time of the year, and your company’s employee data and year-to-date payroll data will be ready on Indigo from day one. This allows you to pick up where you left off, so there will be no need to recalculate any payrolls already completed for the year.
Regardless of whether you are using another local payroll tool or Excel sheets, our team will be able to get you up and running in no time. You can rest assured that, as per our ISO certified procedures, all your data will be handled with the utmost security and confidentiality.
The first half of 2021 saw a number of enhancements and new functionality to Indigo Leave. These included enhancements to the leave approval window, including viewing and sorting options for pending leave requests, and a pop-up with details of who submitted the request and when it was made.
We have also simplified the process for carrying out slight modifications to leave requests. Instead of having to cancel the request and re-enter all the details, you can now cancel the original request and resubmit a new one with the new resubmit function in Indigo Leave – saving you the time and headache of going through the approval process again.
Indigo Attendance has supported the assignment of rewards and penalties to shift presets for a while now, but you can now also manually allocate custom rewards and penalties for individual shifts. This means you can appropriately compensate or deduct pay or time for an individual shift that an employee has worked.
What’s more, absence, late arrival, and early departure penalties can now be configured by two different methods: slicing and range.
Portal users can now view their schedule and clocking data, as well as clock in and out of shifts directly from the portal instead of a device, thanks to the new addition of the Scheduler and Clocking widgets. As with all other punching data available on Indigo, the data from the Clocking widget is available in our various punch-related reports.
You can now import schedule records via Excel spreadsheets directly into the system. The Import scheduler records function allows you to allocate schedule records, such as pre-approved overtime or exceptional shifts, by bulk.
We have made the Scheduler even more helpful at a glance by clearly labelling overtime shifts, and adding icons within individual cells for clocking data, remarks, and warnings. Simply hover over these icons to view the information. Moreover, our Shift Patterns feature has been enhanced to support patterns that are up to 600 days long.
The Overlapping Clockings tag for Indigo Attendance will be assigned in cases where employee punches overlap each other, such as when clock-in times are duplicated. This allows you to identify such exceptions with ease and ensures any adjustments are done accordingly.
If anything happens to an employee, you can now get in touch with their loved ones without having to hunt around for their details. Just check the Emergency Contact Details section in the Employee Profile to find their name, number, and relationship to your employee – and because we know how busy people can be, we have included a primary and a secondary contact.
When it comes to Indigo Leave, we have introduced two new reports, which will allow you to get a better view on the leave accruals entitlements and balance:
In Indigo Attendance we introduced several new reporting options to help you and your team oversee your staffing and operations:
We are continuously working on improving and expanding the Indigo API library. Over the last year we included the following APIs:
