Release notes.

New feature: Automated leaves

Administrators can now create automated leaves to manage public holidays for example, from the time off settings of their organization. These leaves are also automatically added to the schedule when new employees are created or when archived employees are reactivated.

An annual reminder inviting administrators to create their automated leaves for the coming year can also be programmed.
