We're excited to introduce the first phase of geofencing in the Calamari app!

Now you can ensure time tracking happens only in designated locations, perfect for field teams and hybrid work models.

What's new?

• Create multiple terminals/locations with geo-restrictions for time tracking
• Manage locations directly from your mobile device
• Receive automatic notifications when employees enter defined zones without logging time
• Configure everything easily through Configuration → Methods → Mobile App

Geofencing works by creating virtual boundaries around specific locations, ensuring employees can only clock in when physically present at work sites, client locations, or your office.

Key benefits:

• Precise time tracking in designated locations only
• Automatic reminders to prevent forgotten time entries
• Better field team management with real-time monitoring
• Enhanced security with location-restricted logins
• Flexible implementation for various work models

We've revamped the Calamari Slack Home Tab to give you faster access to essential HR information and actions. The new layout makes daily time tracking and absence management more intuitive directly from Slack.

Time & Attendance

• Log your work time and breaks directly from Slack
• View attendance list in a convenient popup (team status notifications on dedicated channels still available)
• Access your workday history via the summary button
• Managers can now approve timesheet change requests right from the Home Tab

Time Off

• New section showing your upcoming absences
• Organization-wide absence calendar view
• Managers can approve leave requests without leaving Slack

Plus, the Home Tab is now available in all Calamari supported languages, making it accessible to your entire global team.

We are expanding Core HR filtering capabilities to include all custom fields!

You will be able to create more precise and personalized data views by filtering based on any custom fields you've configured in Calamari - including date fields (already available), text entries, numeric values, and dropdown selections (coming soon).

This update will give you you greater flexibility when searching for specific employee information, generating reports, or organising your HR data.

For example, you could:

• easily identify employees whose certifications expire next month,
• filter by specific skills or qualifications,
• or segment your team based on any custom criteria you've established.

The new filtering options, already available in Report/People, will be soon available throughout the system, including Configuration/People and Core HR / People view, making your administrative workflows more efficient than ever.

From now on, managers and admins can save their own report templates in the People Report. Based on their role, they'll be able to define and save templates that include:

• Selected data fields
• Applied filters
• Template name

The template can be reused to quickly pull reports for different time periods without reconfiguring settings. You can set reports such as:

• Contract and bonuses summary report
• Employees who left last year with exit reasons report
• Employee performance review
• Company devices report
• Work anniversaries in the next month (addresses included)
• Employee skills and certifications report
• Uniform and apparel tracking report

The filtering system now includes 11 comprehensive filters (up from 4) and preset date filters such as "previous month".

Stay connected with your team's important dates! All Core HR users can now see important events both on web and mobile apps.

The new view:

• Displays upcoming birthdays, work anniversaries, end of contract
• Enables searching for specific employee celebrations
• Shows information in a clear format

Our API documentation has been refreshed. We are using Redocly to support our client in their integration task.

The new interface includes:

• interactive API testing tool directly in your browser,
• API endpoints to create, update and list "People" data with custom fields.

The enhanced documentation simplifies integration between Calamari and your internal systems, with Calamari serving as the source of truth for employee data. You can create and update employee profiles with all their custom fields in Core HR module.

We've expanded Calamari's Slack integration - now you can perform additional key actions directly in the app:

• Add attendance records from Home Tab
• Approve leave requests
• Review and approve time tracking requests

The new features respect your security settings - for example, the attendance marking option will only appear for users with approval permissions.

More Slack integration improvements coming soon.

Absence policy description in the Entitlement view

In response to our customers' feedback, we've improved the entitlement details view. By default, all fields are collapsed and can be expanded by clicking anywhere or on the icon. Upon expansion, you'll see information about restrictions, absence type description, and leave expiration date.

New request details view

To provide a better overview of leave information, we've refreshed the leave request details screen in our mobile app with useful features:

• Check leave balance directly in the request view with the new bar
• Enjoy an even clearer interface that matches the web version

Skip holidays when marking attendance

You can now skip holidays when marking attendance when adding timesheet entries, just like in the web version. We've also added weekday information next to dates for better clarity.

A major change in the Core HR module - now every Calamari user can update custom fields independently.

This new feature allows for self-service updates of contact information, billing details, or collection of any additional information.

Administrators can set visibility and editing permissions for specific fields for managers, owners (of given employee), and the entire organization.

How to use this feature?

• Go to Configuration -> Employee Fields
• Select the configurable field whose visibility/editing permissions you want to modify
• Check appropriate access boxes in the side panel

You can also modify the visibility of most system fields - they are marked as "Configurable system field".

You can now select multiple employees in the Configuration -> People view and perform bulk actions, increasing your efficiency.

This feature will speed up onboarding through group invitation sending and restoring archived profiles.

Simply select the desired employees and choose an action from the top menu to save time on repetitive tasks!
