greytHR's August 2026 Updates

Product image

Here's what we've been working on lately

Digital Signature for Offer Letters via Zoho Sign (Recruit)

Recruiters and candidates now have a completely paperless, secure, and auditable way to sign and accept offers, powered by Zoho Sign — replacing the manual print-sign-scan-upload cycle for both internal approvers and candidates.
This enhancement:

  • Centralises e-signature setup under System Settings → Integrations → Connectors, where Admins enable or disable the Zoho Sign connector.

  • Adds a two-part signing flow in the Send Offer / Extend Offer step — internal signatories sign first, then the candidate receives a "Sign and Accept" step.

  • Delivers a secure, auditable digital signing record, replacing static signature images and manual uploads.

  • Falls back to the existing manual-upload process when Zoho Sign is disabled.

GPS Live Tracking now displays meaningful location details by removing the generic "Unnamed Location" tag. Configured locations continue to show the location name along with address, while all other locations will display the captured address.

Top AI Matches — AI-Powered Candidate Ranking in Recruit

greytHR Recruit now ranks candidates for a job using AI from the entire. The new Top AI Matches side panel scores your entire candidate pool against a job and surfaces the top 20 best-fit candidates, ranked by overall AI match score — so recruiters can shortlist the strongest candidates instantly instead of reviewing profiles one by one.
This feature:

  • Scores the entire candidate pool against a job and ranks the top 20 by overall AI match score.

  • Lets recruiters switch ranking between Overall Match, Skills, Experience, Qualification, or Job Constraints Fit.

  • Shows a parameter-level score breakdown when any candidate card is expanded.

  • Surfaces pipeline status, prior-rejection context, and referral badges inline.

  • Enables one-click actions — View Resume, View AI Summary, and Add to Job — from both grid and card views.

Built on the AI-Based Candidate Scoring feature , putting those scores to work with a faster, more actionable way to shortlist.

Updated Error Messaging for GPS

GPS Live Tracking now displays clear and user-friendly error messages, helping users better understand issues and take the appropriate action.

Configurable Input Field Types in IT declaration in greytHR Mobile App

Chapter VI manual IT declaration items will soon support configurable input field types, helping organizations capture tax declaration details in the appropriate format.

Bank status Verification

Bank Account Verification (Penny Drop) lets Admins verify employee bank accounts directly within greytHR before running payroll. Under Payroll > Admin>Bank Verification Status, it validates each employee's Bank Account Number and IFSC against the bank in real time and returns a verification result - so account details are confirmed upfront instead of failing at transfer. Admins can verify all eligible employees at once or select specific ones, re-verify when details change or a check fails, and see a clear status (Verified / Not Verified / Failed) with a response column for each employee. Results can be filtered, and exported to Excel.

Benefits

  • Catch invalid or mismatched accounts before payroll, not after a failed transfer

  • Fewer payout reversals, delayed salaries, and manual employee follow-ups

  • Faster, cleaner payroll reconciliation with export-ready verification records

  • Full transparency on verification outcomes and associated charges

Loan Perquisite Exemption - Updated Eligibility

greytHR now determines loan perquisite taxability using the combined Original Loan Amount across all of an employee's open loans (per Rule 15), instead of each loan separately. Eligibility auto-updates whenever a loan is added or closed, or at the 1 April 2026 threshold change (₹20,000 → ₹2,00,000), and adjusts in both directions.

Benefit: Accurate, portfolio-level loan tax calculation that stays correct as loans change through the year - less manual review, fewer taxation errors.

Bulk Photo Download

HR Admins can now download employee profile photos in bulk through the existing Bulk Document Download feature. Instead of downloading photos individually, admins can select employees, check photo availability, and download all available photos as a structured ZIP file—making it easier to use them for ID cards, access control, employee directories, and other operational needs.

What’s new:

  • Profile Photos added as a download category.

  • Supports single and bulk employee selection.

  • Bulk photos are packaged into a structured ZIP file.

  • Downloads are processed through the existing Download Center.

Relative Range in Employees Filter

Earlier, Employee Custom Filters supported only specific/fixed dates, which meant admins had to manually update saved filters as the date or payroll period changed. With this enhancement, admins can now create dynamic date-based filters that automatically resolve to the relevant period each time they are used.

What’s new:

  • Relative date ranges based on Today, Payroll Month, Financial Year, Calendar, etc.

  • Presets such as Current Payroll Month, Previous Payroll Month, and New Joiners.

  • ±99-day offsets for greater flexibility.

  • Saved filters automatically update at runtime, eliminating recurring manual changes.

  • Support extended across Audit Logs, Reports, Segments

Other Features

Organisations Can Now Choose Whether Goal Plans Lock After / During a Performance Review Submission

Goal plan locking is now an optional PMS setting, giving organisations greater control over when goal edits are restricted during the review process.

The setting can be enabled to lock goal updates once a linked review is submitted, or switched off after the review is completed for temporary control.

Preview PDF attachments directly in Engage

PDF attachments in Engage can now be previewed directly within the post, eliminating the need to download files just to view their contents. This is currently available on web only, with the existing download option remaining unchanged for other file types.

Resigned employees are now clearly flagged across Performance Management

A Resigned indicator is now shown next to employees marked as resigned, making it easier to identify them across Goal Plans and Reviews Control Panels, and Ratings & Recommendations. This helps managers and admins quickly account for resignation status when reviewing, following up, or reassigning work.

Manual calibration remarks now retain manual override context (Performance Management)

Calibration remarks now distinguish between manual override comments and system actions, ensuring important context is preserved while publish, pause, and cancel statuses are tracked separately.

Preview attachments directly across Performance Reviews and Goals Check-in

Documents attached across Reviews and Check-ins can now be previewed in-app, making it easier for employees, assessors, managers, and admins to verify files without downloading them. The preview is available for both new and saved attachments, while existing download, delete, permissions, and file-handling behaviour remain unchanged.

Newly eligible employees can now be added across Performance Management

Admins can now identify and add employees who become eligible for an existing employee filter after a cycle is created, without waiting for the next scheduled refresh. This is available across Goal Plans, Reviews, and 360° Feedback, enabling newly eligible employees to be included as soon as they’re detected.

34-Character Bank Account Number Support

Earlier, bank account number fields had length limitations, which caused errors when adding, onboarding, importing, or viewing longer account numbers. This enhancement now allows admins to maintain up to 34-character alphanumeric bank account numbers consistently across the system.

What’s new:

  • Support for up to 34-character alphanumeric account numbers.

  • Extended support across Add Employee, Onboarding, Bank/PF/ESI, ESS, Excel Importer, and QB.

  • Account numbers are stored and displayed without truncation or data loss.

  • Values exceeding 34 characters are restricted with validation.

  • Existing shorter account numbers continue to work as before.
