The add/edit report page was due for an update.  We like making reports and we think there are others who like making reports too.  So what could be better than making it easier to make reports? There are four key areas that we changed to make report building simpler: Single click to add a field.…Continue Reading

Several months ago, we added the ability to share company files with employees via our employee self-service module.  Now we’ve extended sharing to employee-specific files.  For example, if want one of your employees (Charlotte Abbott) to have access to the Confidentiality Agreement she signed when she was first hired, it’s as simple as checking a…Continue Reading

Until recently, there were only three types of users that could access your Bamboo HR account: Administrators could view and edit everything.

Based on some wonderful user feedback, we’ve launched two great new reports: Job History and Salary History.  These reports are probably self-explanatory, but they are the quickest way to view the job or salary history at a glance for all of your employees. These new reports are already available in your account.  Just click on…Continue Reading
