By the Outstaffer Product Team
Improved
- Employees without an active contract see a restricted dashboard and empty Timesheets, Time logs and Leave requests pages instead of authorisation errors
- Password resets enforce a stronger password policy, and reset links are only served over HTTPS
Fixed
- Cancelling a leave request that was already cancelled in the payroll system now marks it Cancelled and releases the leave balance
- Sending an offer from the onboarding review page shows the success message without an error toast
- HR notes and job offer descriptions submitted through the API are cleaned of markup before saving
Frequently asked questions
What do employees without an active contract see?
The time clock and the leave and timesheet quick links are disabled, upcoming leave is empty, and the Timesheets, Time logs and Leave requests pages show a "You have no active contracts" message. Book a meeting and Create a request stay available.
What happens to an employee's past timesheets and leave when their contract ends?
Past records stay on file against the previous contract. They aren't deleted or moved when the contract ends.
How do I reduce HR admin when managing international employees?
Employees only see actions they can take, and leave status stays in sync with payroll, which cuts the support questions HR teams would otherwise field.
