We are excited to announce the first HR update of 2025. In this update, we have added onboarding completion and employee financial information update events in the notifications configuration. This ensures that the appropriate individuals in the organisation are notified of the next steps. Additionally, new formatting functions have been added to the contract editor, making it easier to draft contract templates.

Event Notifications

Settings > Notifications > Create Event Notifications

Onboarding completed event notification

This new notification configuration makes tracking employee onboarding progress easier than ever! Once set up, the relevant person or teams (e.g. the employee’s team manager, IT equipment coordinator, or local HR/branch manager) will automatically be notified as soon as an employee completes their onboarding, enabling them to move on to the next steps, such as role-specific training or task assignments, efficiently. This enhancement ensures a seamless workflow and helps organisations stay on top of their onboarding process with minimal effort.

Employee financial information update notification (Australian customers only)

When an employee updates their bank, tax or superannuation details in their employee profile, a notification will be sent to your configured recipients (such as payroll) with a secure link to access the updated information directly in the iHR platform. This ensures the right teams receive the right information efficiently while maintaining data security by avoiding sensitive details in email notifications. 

Added variables for Event Notifications

We have added new variables to include in event notifications. This allows you to provide more details about the people involved in the event such as their work locations and addresses. The variables are:

• Primary Address Variable of the affected or actioning person from their intelliHR employee profile

  • {extras.affectedPerson.primary_address}
  • {extras.actioningPerson.primary_address}

• Location Address Variable where it is essential to specify the job location of the individual. You can use this variable in your event notifications if this has been configured in Settings > Locations.

  • {extras.affectedPerson.location_address}
  • {extras.actioningPerson.location_address}

Contract improvements

Organisation > Contracts > View Templates

We have updated our contracts editor to make building contract templates easier. Formatting tools such as inserting tables and easily creating ordered or unordered lists with bullet points, numbers, and characters have been added. This update will also maintain your paragraph formatting when copying and pasting directly from MS Word, making contract drafting easier.
