Manage Records of Employment (ROE) filings in Canada with flexible controls

Create drafts for any reason (like termination and non-termination), refresh them with the latest earnings data, and submit amendments any time they’re needed.

Announcement

Keep approvals moving while approvers are out

On December 20th, we’re launching a new feature that lets managers approve employee requests if other approvers are unavailable, without super admin intervention. Because this expands certain users’ approval capabilities, you’ll be able to manage or disable this permission at any time. To request early access to this feature, sign up here.

Platform

Find what matters faster with filtered lookup results

With Lookup Filters, you can now define which objects show up in Lookup Fields, like employees in a specific role or department, so you only see what you need. Learn more.

Transfer ownership of Saved Supergroups with ease

Never lose access to critical groups again. Admins and owners can now transfer Saved Supergroup ownership, either proactively or automatically during a termination, so editing rights and workflows stay intact. Learn more.

HCM

Control peer reviewer nominations in Performance Management

Prevent irrelevant feedback by limiting nominations to specific groups or participants, keeping reviews accurate without manually reviewing each nomination. Learn more.

Ensure compliance with required course videos in LMS

Make sure mandatory training is viewed. Now users can’t fast-forward through required videos, and progress is automatically tracked for easy completion later. Learn more.

Save time and stay consistent with default 1:1 templates in Performance Management

Set it up once, and you’re done. Default titles and templates are automatically applied to every new event, so 1:1s stay the same and are effortless to manage. Learn more.

Plan smarter with cross-department scenario modeling in Headcount Planning

Easily model hiring across departments in one shared view, improving visibility, reducing back-and-forth, and making it easier to request backfills. Learn more.
