OrangeHRM 2.2 - what's new?



What’s new in 2.2?

The new 2.2 version of the software, which is the result of communication and collaboration with OrangeHRM’s fast-growing and knowledgeable open source community, has been enhanced by adding a Time and Attendance module.

Features of the new application involving administration and management of time sheets include:
• Defining projects and customers
The ability of HR administrators to specify an organization’s current projects and customers
• Timesheets creation
A way for employees to easily create and modify timesheets, to specify time allocated to specific projects and customers
• Timesheets administration and management
- Submission and cancellation of timesheets by employees
- Modification of subordinate timesheets by supervisors and HR administrators to include new or edit existing time events
- Rejection, approval and cancellation of timesheets by HR administrators
• PIM module for Supervisors
OrangeHRM has improved the data access and security by providing separate PIM module for the Supervisors. From now on Supervisors can view and edit the personal information of their subordinates.
• OrangeHRM in Danish, Spanish and Russian
The Danish, Spanish and Russian translation of OrangeHRM is already available. The system will be translated into other languages so that SMEs from all over the world could benefit from the solution in their native language.
