January 2025 Product Updates

New Features & Developments

Taking a significant step towards empowering our users in the employee letter generation process, the entire set of steps of letter format generation is now automated.

To reduce dependency on our Team while generating various letter formats such as:

• Appointment Letter
• Offer Letter
• Confirmation Letter
• Increment Letter
• Experience Letters, and
• Termination Letter

Now these can be designed and uploaded by your HR Teams on the portal from the Admin section > Organization > Letter Format Tab.

Post uploading, the letters can be directly applied to employees through the relevant Master Policies, and you are done! The Letters can then be generated and downloaded from the Admin Section > Utilities Module > Letters > Generate Letters dropdown.

To meet evolving organizational needs, we have also added the option to generate Miscellaneous Letters such as Warning, Contract, or Employee Abscond Letters. These can be created using the Letter Format Tab and then they can be generated and downloaded from the Generate Letter section in the Utilities Module.
