What's New

  • Payslips and P60s: view, download and share both document types from the Evo Navigator landing page.

  • Team Calendar: see team availability in month and rota views, with absence privacy protected.

  • HR Connector API (Evo Everywhere): organisation-wide access to HR data for authorised users and integrations, controlled one HR area at a time.

  • Accurate rehire data in People Analytics: rehired employees now appear with correct start dates.


Payslips and P60s in Evo Navigator

What was the challenge

Payslips and P60s could only be reached by going into the full SelectHR application. Employees often need these documents quickly, particularly P60s at tax year-end, for purposes such as mortgage applications and proof of earnings.

What's changed

  • A new Payslips and P60s panel on the Evo Navigator landing page lists available documents by pay period or tax year.

  • Employees can view, download and share each document from the panel.

  • Documents are retrieved live from SelectPay each time they are requested. They are not stored in SelectHR.

  • Documents appear for employees whose payroll company is set up in SelectHR.

Benefits

  • Employees can reach both document types in one place, without entering the full application.

  • Less time is spent searching for pay and tax documents, and fewer routine requests reach HR and payroll teams.

Action required: None.


Team Calendar in Evo Navigator

What was the challenge

Managers and employees need a quick way to plan around team availability, but absence details must stay private to people who are entitled to see them.

What's changed

  • Team Calendar in Evo Navigator shows team availability in month and rota views.

  • Standard filters are available, and non-working days are visible.

  • Restricted absences appear only as unavailable, so absence details stay private.

Benefits

  • Planning around team availability is quicker, with everything in one view.

  • Absence privacy is protected for everyone who uses the calendar.

Action required: Yes. Enable Team Calendar for the users who should see it.


HR Connector API

What was the challenge

Administrators currently reach their HR data by working inside SelectHR, which means knowing how the product is structured and where each piece of information sits. That takes time, and it makes simple questions about the workforce harder to answer quickly. Administrators need faster, easier access to their data so they can get answers when they need them.

What's changed

Within Evo Everywhere, the HR Connector API now gives authorised people and integrations access to HR data across the organisation, for those entitled to see it.

  • Each HR area is its own connector: People, Pay, Career, Absence and Leave, Learning, Recruitment, Performance, Time, and Health and Safety.

  • Each connector has its own security group, so access is granted one area at a time. For example, someone can be given pay data without seeing absence records.

  • A full-access group covers every connector, for the small number of people and integration accounts that need all of them.

  • Custom fields that customers have added (user-defined fields) are not included in this release.

  • Nothing that employees and line managers can see today has widened.

Benefits

  • HR teams can answer questions about anyone in the organisation without waiting for a manager or a report.

  • Evo Researcher and Evo Workflow Automation can work with data across the whole workforce, such as finding who is off next week in a division or which posts are vacant.

  • Results show coded values with their labels, and each Evo product reads the same data, so answers stay consistent.

  • Customers stay in control. Nobody can see the data until they are added to the relevant security group.

Action required: Yes, if you want to use the connectors. To access this area, you will need to talk to your account manager about Evo Everywhere. Nothing changes for existing access. Before adding anyone to a connector's security group, review who should have access to that HR area.


Accurate Rehire Data in People Analytics

What was the challenge

Rehired employees were missing from People Analytics, which left headcount and rehire reporting incomplete. Start dates also did not always show when an employee had most recently joined.

What's changed

  • SelectHR now sends start events for new starters and rehires to People Analytics, not only leavers.

  • Each start is classed as a new hire or a rehire, based on the employee's previous appointment history.

  • An employee's start date is now the start date of their latest appointment with the starter flag ticked. Rehired employees therefore appear in headcount and starter reports from the date they rejoined.

  • Start dates for every employee are sent on each daily data transfer, so rehired employees appear with correct start dates after the next transfer.

  • A default start reason is used where no career change reason is recorded.

The three dates held for each employee in People Analytics are:

Date field

What it shows

TenureStartDate

Continuous Service Date

StartDate

Start date of the latest appointment with the starter flag ticked

OriginalHireDate

Earliest ever start date across all appointments

Benefits

  • People Analytics gives a complete and accurate picture of starters and headcount.

  • Starter reports show the date a rehired employee actually rejoined the organisation.

  • Rehire patterns are visible for turnover and retention analysis.

Action required: None.


Security Improvements

No security improvements are included in this release.
