We spent our September working in Singapore (not geographically but conceptually). Some of our clients are in Singapore (migrated recently or had operations for a while) and Backstage has been supporting their tax reporting process for years. In 2023, the Singapore IRAS is terminating submission of electronic files and required submission via API. We were working to support this new submission approach.
And for all other users, several enhancement are on its way (e.g. a new Dashboard layout) is on its way and I hope to report to you in next update notes. Please read on for other updates from last month. Enjoy your day!

System
Action Variable/Import Attendance Raw Data - Action Variable for importing attendance data is updated. New attendance file format can be imported to Backstage by updating system setting instead of adding a new function
Action Variable/Notify Pending Leave Application - now you can use action variable to notify approvers with pending leave applications. Usually used as a daily reminder.
Payroll
Autopay - new format in Singapore: HSBC Hub MRI Version 2
Employee Portal
Attendance
Punch In/Out on Dashboard - removed time limitation on punching. Staffs can now punch anytime and attendance statistics will still be calculated in the same way.
