Sprout HR: New Features and Updates -- January 2017

Other than our updates this new year on payroll, we are also rolling out some new and improved features here on HR! Let's take a look at them one by one.

Mass Overtime Applications Can Be Filed By Managers for their Direct Reports

Managers can now file mass overtime applications in behalf of their direct reports. This is found in the Overtime Search page. Once the “Upload Overtime” button is clicked, a template can be downloaded and filled out. This template is then uploaded to file the overtime applications. To get this awesome feature enabled for your account, get in touch with your Customer Success Manager or shoot us a message at [e-mail]!
