If your team uses both Calamari for time tracking and Jira for project management, you can take advantage of automatic synchronization to eliminate double data entry.

The integration runs on an AWS Lambda script that periodically synchronizes data between the two systems. It audits and updates information for the current month while leaving historical records unchanged.

How does it work in practice?

• For absence management: When an employee's leave is approved in Calamari, a corresponding entry automatically appears in Jira as a worklog.
• For time tracking: Hours logged in Jira are automatically sent to Calamari as time entries. Your developers log time on their tasks in Jira, and you get the full picture in Calamari.

Thanks to the new view templates feature, you can instantly find the information you need directly in the People tab.

Freely configure the view by selecting only the columns you need (including Custom fields). Use filters to narrow down the list, and then save the entire template for quick access in the future.

For example, create a "B2B Contractors," "Expiring Safety Trainings," or "Upcoming Anniversaries" view without needing to generate reports.

The feature is available for all users whose organization has an active Core HR module.

1. Microsoft Teams dashboard with language support

The dashboard in Microsoft Teams is now available in seven languages: Polish, English, German, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese (Brazil). If your language in MS Teams is set to one of these, the dashboard will adapt automatically. This is especially useful for international teams!

2. Substitute's details in the Outlook autoresponder

People emailing you during your time off will immediately know who to contact in an emergency. When you request leave and choose a substitute, the Outlook autoresponder will automatically add their contact details to your out-of-office message.

You can now access timesheet records for archived employees at no additional cost. This feature supports comprehensive reporting and ensures compliance with legal requirements - many jurisdictions require employment data retention for several years after termination.

Key benefits:

• Complete historical data access without extra fees
• Simplified compliance with data retention laws
• Comprehensive reporting across all employee records
• Pay only for active users while maintaining full data history

Test the functionality in the reports section.

Minute-by-minute discrepancies in time records are a thing of the past. The new rounding feature in Calamari automatically streamlines your payroll.

Benefits:

• End minute-level overtime and time discrepancies
• Ensure payroll is consistent with timesheets
• Maintain full compliance with labor laws
• Reduce administrative workload

Available Options:

• Rounding to Work Schedule: For companies with fixed schedules (e.g., 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM). You set clock-in buffers, lateness tolerance, and clock-out parameters according to your company's policy.
• Rounding to Time Intervals: Ideal for companies with flexible schedules or when payroll is calculated in time blocks. You choose the intervals: 15, 30, or 60 minutes and rounding direction (up or down).

Flexible Operation: Both modes can work together or operate independently, with schedule-based rounding taking priority.

Want to test Time Clock Rounding? The feature is currently in beta. Please contact our Customer Support team, and we'll enable it on your account.

The new Changes Audit feature gives you complete visibility into profile modifications - who made them, what changed, and when.

How it works: Navigate to the CoreHR module's Configuration section and click the new audit tile. You'll see a comprehensive list of all profile changes with filtering options by:

• User
• Specific field modified
• The person who made the change

API-generated changes display a special icon instead of a user employee photo.

Browse efficiently with chronological sorting (newest first) and date range filters - narrow down to specific days, weeks, or months as needed.

Real business impact: When inconsistencies arise, you can instantly trace their origin. This transforms employee profiles into a reliable source of truth while streamlining your compliance processes.

The audit captures all changes since June 19, 2025 - even for accounts without CoreHR (changes are recorded and become visible after module purchase).

When you request an absence, Calamari automatically enables an autoresponder in your Outlook mailbox. The reply includes your absence details and relevant dates. Once you return to work or cancel the request, the autoresponder turns off automatically.

This feature works for full-day absences only. Remote work requests won’t trigger the autoresponder.

Current Microsoft 365 integration users can enable this option in their settings, while new users will have it activated by default.

We’ve added helpful information in the Entitlement Changes tab that explains how leave accrual works based on your company’s rules.

The help text shows when employees become eligible for leave, how often leave is added to their balance, and exactly when this happens.

This small change helps administrators answer employee questions about their leave balance with confidence. No more guessing where those days came from.

Did you know you can now manage NFC directly from your browser? No more traveling to another building or department just to configure the terminal. As an administrator, you can enable or disable the NFC method directly from your web account globally.
