Reporting & Finance
Hourly Wage Cost Added to P&L Flash
We've introduced a feature that allows you to view the split costs of hourly and salary wages on the P&L Flash. This feature provides a clear breakdown of your wage costs, facilitating better financial planning and budgeting.
The hourly wage costs includes National Insurance and pensions but excludes holiday costs.
Holiday Costs on P&L Flash Report
In response to client feedback, we've added a feature that allows you to view holiday costs on the P&L Flash report using the variable costs tracker. Simply This addition will help enhance your understanding of the financial impact of employee leave on your overall business expenses.
Snapshot Allocation by Job Role
We've expanded the snapshot allocation feature to include job roles, not just individual employees! Take a look at the Snapshot Settings and give it a go for yourself.
Improved Petty Cash Report
We've updated our Petty Cash Report to now include an export to excel function, along with a list of petty cash items at the bottom. This streamlines your financial reporting and makes managing your petty cash even easier. Scroll to the bottom of the petty cash page on Opsyte and take a look at the updates.
HR & Holiday
Holiday Accrual Page Updates
We've made an improvement to the user experience on the holiday accrual page. Now, headers will stay in place as you scroll down the page, making it easier to track and manage your staff's holiday accruals.
Holiday Request Block Days
We've added the option to block out certain days or weeks in a year. This prevents employees from requesting holidays during these periods, but management can still input if needed. This feature provides better control over staff availability during peak business periods. Simply head to the holiday page and scroll down to the bottom where you can input Holiday Restrictions.
Holiday Request Lead Time
We've introduced a new feature that allows you to set a lead time beyond which employees cannot request holidays. This management tool will give you more control over scheduling and help avoid last minute shifts or coverage issues. This can be found in the Custom Site Settings under the grey cog and then visible under Holiday Settings.
Updated Sickness Report
We've updated the Late and Absence Report to include the employee's Payroll ID. This improvement makes it easier to identify and locate employees on the report, saving you valuable time.
Platform Improvements
Enhanced Admin User Control
Admin users now have the ability to delete paid accounts on the elements section. This additional control allows for better management of your accounts and enhances the integrity of your financial data.
Sideways Improved Integration
We've enhanced our integration with Sideways, now allowing for a two way flow of data. You can now view complete and incomplete training directly on Opsyte, reducing the need to switch between platforms.
Maintenance and Incident Reporting
We've incorporated maintenance and incident reports into the calendar. This provides a clear overview of these events, enabling better planning and management of resources. Keep an eye out for the red incident tag on the calendar and the green maintenance tag!
Our team here at Opsyte is passionate about continuous improvement and your feedback plays an integral role in this process. We appreciate your ongoing support and look forward to delivering more enhancements that make your day-to-day operations smoother and more efficient. Together, we're keeping the momentum going, creating a platform that truly works for the hospitality industry.
