SimplePay automatically calculates and applies a pro-rate percentage to the Basic Salary of employees if they do not work for a full pay period i.e. the are appointed after the start of a pay period or terminated before the end of a pay period. We’ve received several requests to allow for the pro-rata percentage to be applied to other items, and are delighted to announce that this functionality is now available for certain custom items.

Introducing a new optional security feature, called 2-factor authentication, which requires users to enter a verification code as an additional step when logging into SimplePay or when changing their password.

The way leave take-on balances are captured has been re-designed - providing more information and greater flexibility. Additionally, leave take-ons are now possible in bulk.

We are very excited to announce the introduction of a new payslip design. All of the same payslip features and functionalities that you have become accustomed to will still be available.
