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.

Time Clock Rounding

Shared by Calamari Team • July 14, 2025

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.

Changes Audit in the CoreHR Module

Shared by Calamari Team • July 14, 2025

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).

Microsoft Integration

Automatic MS Outlook Autoresponder

Shared by Calamari Team • June 24, 2025

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.

Ready to simplify your time off process? Enable autoresponder in your Microsoft 365 integration settings!

Leave Accrual Rules Details

Shared by Calamari Team • June 17, 2025

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.

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.

Duplicate Timesheet Entries Detection

Calamari Team avatar
Shared by Calamari Team • May 21, 2025

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.
