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.

Want to see who has an NFC card assigned? Check it out in the browser. You can also unassign cards and filter users and assigned cards.This saves significant time, especially when managing multiple terminals across different locations.

Quickly find the exact employee fields you need with the new search feature in the Core HR module.

This enhancement lets you locate specific fields without scrolling through extensive lists, significantly speeding up your editing workflow.

Find your projects faster with our new team filter in the Configuration/ Projects view.

Simply select a team from the filter dropdown to see only the projects associated with that team, helping you manage project configurations with greater precision.

Project selection in timesheets is much more efficient now - your most recently used projects appear at the top of the dropdown list for quick access, while other projects remain visible below.

This simple improvement helps you save valuable time during daily time tracking by putting your frequently used projects just one click away.

Following feedback from organizations where employees accidentally creating duplicate entries was causing headaches, we've added a feature that spots duplicate attendance entries when you're adding records.

The system checks for duplicates whether you're adding a single day or multiple days of attendance. Instead of blocking these duplicates (since some of you need this flexibility for overtime management), we simply alert you about potential duplications so you can decide what's appropriate in your situation.

Set rules that guide your employees to use primary leave types before secondary ones. For example, prompt your team to use available vacation days before requesting unpaid leave.

Simply configure your leave type policy to check balances of specific absence types and guide employees accordingly.

If you delete a linked absence type, the restriction is automatically removed to maintain your data integrity.

To set it up, go to Configuration -> Absence types -> Edit absence type -> Restrictions.

Make time tracking versatile and convenient for your organization, thanks to NFC tag scanning capabilities in our Calamari Kiosk app.

Now, your employees can easily clock in and out by simply scanning NFC tags with their cards or keytags, providing an additional time-tracking option alongside our existing QR code system. Users can seamlessly switch between QR code and NFC scanning modes based on their preference or workplace setup.

For administrators, we've made implementation straightforward: NFC functionality can be enabled or disabled in the app settings according to your organization's needs.

Platform-specific experience:

• On iOS devices: Due to Apple's security framework, the system displays a brief notification when initiating an NFC scan
• On Android devices: The NFC scanning process flows more seamlessly without additional system prompts
