Automatic reminders for pending timesheet edit requests

Shared by Calamari Team • October 14, 2025

Timesheet edit requests that sit unanswered are a risk—they lead to reporting errors and payroll delays. That's why we've introduced automatic reminders for managers—similar to those they already know from leave requests.

If a timesheet edit request remains pending for 3 days, the manager automatically receives an email reminder. Simple and effective.

👉 The feature works automatically and requires no additional setup.

We know accurate data isn't negotiable, that's why we've rebuilt our Timesheet Details Report from the ground up with rock-solid data integrity and flexible data ordering. The enhanced report is your single source of truth—seamlessly connecting two modules: Time&Attendance and Time Off without manual reconciliation.

What you get:

  • Complete visibility into work time, breaks, projects, and absences
  • Customizable data views that show only what matters to your team
  • Smart filtering by date, people, teams, and contract times
  • One-click Excel export for deeper analysis

The report adapts to your team's complexity while keeping things simple.

Timesheet Calendar View

Shared by Calamari Team • October 14, 2025

Timesheet errors have a way of piling up. That's why we've given every employee a tool to catch them before they become a problem.

The new timesheet view is a clean calendar - designed so everyone can independently verify their logged hours and instantly see what needs attention.

What you gain:

  • Instant error detection – warning icons and red tiles flag missing entries and inconsistencies
  • Full year overview – all work time in one place, no view switching required
  • Self-service editing – employees click a day, fill in details, and send an edit request to their manager
  • Customizable view – display only the data that matters (e.g., projects, categories)

Fewer questions for HR, more autonomy for your team, cleaner timesheets.

👉 The feature is already live for all employees. Let your team know they can now review and verify their timesheets more easily.

Automatic time tracking based on location

Shared by Calamari Team • October 14, 2025

Forgetting to clock in or out is the most common cause of timesheet gaps. That's why we've added automatic time tracking based on GPS and geofencing.

Just enable the feature in the app, and the system will automatically log clock-ins when an employee enters the office zone and clock-outs when they leave. No tapping, no remembering, no gaps.

What you gain:

  • Automatic clock in/clock out – the app logs work time when employees enter and leave the office zone
  • Full employee control – each person decides whether to enable automatic tracking
  • Smart operation – the system respects work schedules and won't log time outside working hours
  • Precise location data – history of entries and exits with accurate timestamps for admin review

The feature requires location permissions set to "always" and access to precise location. The app must be active (logged-in user, permissions granted).

👉 Don't see the option to enable automatic tracking in your app? Contact our Customer Success team and we'll turn it on for you.

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Get ready for even faster reporting experience! Based on your feedback, we’ve rolled out an update to our reports, to make finding the data you need simpler and more intuitive.

What’s new?

  • Simplified Filters: The most-used filters are front and center, with advanced options neatly organized inside the filter menu.
  • Separate Grouping: The "Group by" function is now separate from the filters. Adjust your filters without losing your preferred data grouping (e.g., by absence type or employee).
  • New Filter Option: Filter leave requests by their creation date, in addition to the approval date. This is perfect for auditing and tracking request submission patterns.

These changes are live in your account now. Head over to the Reports tab to see how much easier it is to get the insights you need.

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Here is a small but powerful update to make your reporting even faster. You can now download custom employee reports directly from the People view in the Configuration.

How it works:

To download a report, simply use one of your saved views. The process is straightforward:

  1. Create and save a view (if you don't have one yet): Set up your desired columns and filters, then save your custom view.
  2. Select your view from the list: Expand the dropdown list in the top-right corner and choose the saved view you want to download.
  3. Download with one click: Click the new download icon that appears next to the view's name to instantly generate your report.

This means all your most-used, saved views are now ready to be downloaded as reports—without extra steps or switching sections.

Time Clock Rounding Now Available in Your Configuration

Shared by Calamari Team • September 15, 2025

Time Clock Rounding has moved from beta to full availability. Time & Attendance module users can now configure this feature directly in their configuration panel.

The feature eliminates minute-by-minute discrepancies in time records and automatically streamlines payroll calculations. You can choose between two rounding methods or use both together.

Rounding to Work Schedule works for companies with fixed schedules. Set clock-in buffers, lateness tolerance, and clock-out parameters according to your company policy.

Rounding to Time Intervals suits companies with flexible schedules. Choose intervals of 5, 10, 15 or more minutes and set rounding direction (nearest, up, down)

Both methods ensure payroll consistency with timesheets and maintain compliance with labor laws.

Integrations

Absences and worklogs sync between Jira & Calamari

Shared by Calamari Team • August 08, 2025

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.

Core HR view templates

Shared by Calamari Team • August 08, 2025

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.
