New Version of PlainStaff

On December 16, 2024, version 5.5.0 of PlainStaff will be released. This will extend PlainStaff with a document archive and provide the long-awaited support for half vacation days.

The PlainStaff document archive supports the storage of any documents (photos, PDFs, Office, video, etc.) for the following objects:

• Working time bookings
• Project time bookings
• Employees (keyword "Digital personnel file")
• Projects (keyword "Digital project file")

For example, employees can upload a photo of their sick leave together with their sick leave booking, which then automatically ends up in the electronic personnel file or take photos on site at the construction site, which are then automatically archived in the electronic project file. Initially, 10 GB of storage space is available per employee. Additional storage can be booked for €18.90 per terabyte per month.

Details on configuring the document archive can be found here: https://plainstaff.com/en/help/document-types-document-archive/

The new release finally supports the long-awaited half vacation days. There is a new booking type in your system with which employees can apply for half vacation days themselves. IMPORTANT: This must be activated by you (activate the "Usage by employees" switch)! In addition, there are two new types of company holidays:

• Company holiday half vacation day: Employees are credited with the full day as working time (Actual = Target), but only half a day of vacation is deducted.
• Half day company holiday: Employees are credited with half a day as working time (Actual = 1/2 Target) and half a day of vacation is deducted.

In addition to the functions for uploading documents for time and project bookings, the Mobile App receives an option to show or hide tasks in the calendar.

We hope that the improvements in PlainStaff are useful and make your work easier. If you have any questions or suggestions, please send us a few lines to sales@plainstaff.com.

We also wish you all a peaceful holiday season and a happy and successful 2025!
