We are excited to release new features for both our HRIS and Benefits Administration modules. Additionally, we have made a few enhancements for our Broker partners in our Broker Portal module. Please read on to find out more and as always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
e-Signatures & Forms Upload (Company Admin)
With this functionality, you can upload any document and/or form to your Flock system and route it via the Tasks functionality. This can also accommodate either full e-signatures or simply the user's initials.
Once uploaded, simply map either system fields or create new fields and assign to your employee(s) via Task. Your employee(s) will then click on the task and complete the document. We can accommodate free text, checkmarks, system fields, and also e-signatures!
Note: this feature is available on request - just contact your friends on our support team and they will activate this feature.
'Effective date' based changes (Employee Profile)
Now, you can make changes and adjustments to an Employee Profile, then schedule those changes to go into effect on the date you determine (now or future).
This release also includes enhancements to our current and change history reporting. We have also added a “salary history report” in the “Pre-defined Reports" section. Here you can download a complete company record of all compensation changes for all employees, including:
Combined changes in one effective date
Schedule employment/compensation changes
View History
Pending changes
Example screenshot of pending 'Effective Date'
