In the Timesheet details report you will now find everything you need to analyze work data – we have added: the day description, working hours, and break times.

You can configure filters and data types according to your needs – just like in other reports.

What else have we improved:

• The employee data row remains visible while scrolling – you always know whose data you are viewing.
• Long descriptions are clearly formatted and expandable.
• Employee avatars make it easier to quickly orient yourself in the data.

This is particularly useful if you need to meet time tracking regulations (e.g., in Poland) or if you are consolidating data from multiple sources.

Approaching the office or a work zone? Now the app will register your Clock In automatically. Leaving? The system will end the work for you. No clicking, no forgetting.

What you need to know:

• The Administrator configures zones and enables automatic registration in the panel.
• The Employee can turn off automatic geofencing at any time in the app settings.
• You have access to the zone entry and exit history – all in one place.
• If location permissions are missing, the app will guide you on how to grant them.
• Calamari does not track your location – we only receive information about entering or leaving a zone from your phone's system.

Do you remember what you did three weeks ago? Neither do we. That’s why Calamari will now remind you of missing entries in your timesheet before you have a chance to forget them.

• How it works: At the beginning of each week, the system checks the previous 7 days. If your records are missing entries, you will get a notification with a direct link to the spots requiring attention.
• When: The first day of your work week, at 12:00 PM.
• Where: Email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, or the mobile app.

This feature is disabled by default – turn it on in Personal notifications (Reminder about missing timesheet entries) if you want to keep your records constantly up to date.

⚠️ Inform your employees about this option: Help Center: how to enable notifications

The Administrator can now assign a default project to each KIOSK. Thanks to this, after scanning, the employee automatically has a project set and can start working immediately or quickly switch to another one.

• For whom: Production, construction, and cleaning teams.
• Where: Kiosk settings in the Time & Attendance module.

Try it: Go to KIOSK settings and assign a default project to each Terminal so your employees can record time against specific tasks faster.

From now on, you can block time-off requests from people designated as substitutes.

Why? To ensure that someone is always present. When someone is assigned as a substitute, that person will not be able to take time off during the same period.

• Example: Ann wants to take time off tomorrow and designates Mike as her substitute. If Mike tries to request time off for the same day, the system will stop him – depending on how you configure restrictions for that absence type.

The new restriction works in two modes:

1. Show warning.
2. Block requesting.

Try it: Go to Configuration → Absence types / Time-off categories → [select absence type] → Restrictions → Add new rule: Requester cannot request time off for a period in which they are assigned as a substitute.

The new Performance module in Calamari helps streamline the assessment and feedback process within the team. Everything happens in one place – from self-evaluation, through peer review, to manager review.

Here is what we recently improved:

• Clearer session view: After opening a session, you only see the people your evaluation concerns. The Administrator has full access, while managers and employees only see themselves, their subordinates, or assigned coworkers. The view is now much more readable, especially for larger teams.
• Flexible question configuration: You can decide whether a given question appears in the self-evaluation, peer review, or both. This allows you to conduct different types of evaluations within a single session without duplicating configuration.

Try it: Go to the Performance module and check how it can improve the evaluation process in your team.

Stop tracking deadlines manually – let the system do it for you.

You can now set up automatic reminders based on any date field in the Core HR module.

This ensures that no important date slips through the cracks.

What you can automate:

• Expiring medical exams, certificates, and health & safety training
• Ending probation periods and contracts
• Onboarding tasks and upcoming annual reviews

How it works:

Go to Settings → Notifications → Reminders, select the field you want to monitor (e.g., Next Annual Review), and specify the date range the system should track.

Then decide whether this applies to the entire organization or only selected departments, and choose the delivery method – email, Slack, or Microsoft Teams.

Coming soon:

In the near future, each notification will include a direct link to Calamari that opens a view with a list of tasks to complete.

You'll be able to check off individual items as you complete them, so you'll always know what's done and what still requires action.

From this view, you'll also be able to download or print a report right away – everything in one place, without switching between tabs.

Configure your automatic reminder

Many of you reported that the standard icons don't match your requests—especially the palm tree for sick leave.

You can now set dedicated emojis for each request type. They'll appear in:

• Slack statuses
• Private Teams calendar statuses
• Google Calendar events

How it works: If you're already using Calamari, your settings remain unchanged—all leave requests still show the palm tree 🌴, and remote work shows the laptop 💻. You can now customize them in each request type configuration.

Administrators can choose any emoji from the available list for each request type individually, including neutral ones that don't indicate the type of absence, or those you use internally.

What's next? In upcoming phases, emojis will also appear in group notifications, iCal, and upcoming absences in Slack.

For teams across different locations, we've added synchronization of public holidays from Calamari's holiday calendar to Slack statuses.

Your status now shows absences based on the holiday calendar, such as national holiday observances, bringing clarity to organizations with employees from different countries.

How to enable: Go to Configuration → Integrations → Slack and select the holiday sync option (disabled by default).

Not every attachment should be visible to everyone. Medical certificates, court documents, or other sensitive files can now remain accessible only to those who actually need to see them.

How it works:

Administrators can now restrict file visibility in the configuration of each leave type. The rules are consistent for everyone – no surprises or exceptions.

You'll find the settings in the "Fields and visibility" tab in the configuration of a given leave type.

What you gain:

• Greater control over sensitive data
• Clear rules for document access
• Compliance with your organization's security policies

The feature is now available for all accounts.
