🚀 What's New in Epix

April was a month of meaningful improvements across the board. We redesigned core self-service experiences, expanded our Open API coverage, introduced powerful pay group configuration tools, and continued polishing the UI to make day-to-day HR work faster and more intuitive. Here's everything that's new.

🖥️ Reimagined Self-Service Experience

The employee self-service portal received its most significant refresh yet — built around how employees actually use it.

• ‍Redesigned home page — A fresh, focused layout makes it easier for employees to find what they need the moment they log in.
• ‍Smarter calendar navigation — Tapping a calendar day now opens the day detail view directly, removing unnecessary extra steps.
• ‍Overhauled day detail view — Absences, activities, and time data are now presented in a cleaner, more readable layout.
• ‍Contextual tab visibility — Self-service tabs are automatically hidden when they don't apply to a user's pay group, reducing confusion and clutter.
• ‍Cleaner employee lists — Employees with ended contracts are no longer surfaced in self-service overviews, keeping views relevant and tidy.

👥 Teams & Organisation

Managing your organisation structure just got more powerful — and easier to navigate.

• ‍Organisational chart in team views — Managers and HR can now view org charts directly within team pages, giving instant structural visibility without leaving the screen.
• ‍Collapsible folder navigation — The teams page now supports expanding and collapsing folder structures, making it much easier to navigate complex hierarchies.
• ‍Smarter organigram defaults — The org chart now opens with only the root team expanded, so you start with a clean, manageable view and drill in as needed.
• ‍Stable tree interaction — Clicking a team no longer collapses other expanded branches, making navigation more predictable.

⚙️ Pay Group Configuration

A new dedicated configuration space for pay groups gives administrators more control with less setup friction.

• ‍Dedicated pay group settings page — Pay groups now have their own configuration area for a more structured setup experience.
• ‍Default work schedules — Set a default work schedule at pay group level, automatically applied to new assignments.
• ‍Default absence policies — Configure absence request policies as pay group defaults to ensure consistency across your workforce.
• ‍Default pay components — Pay component defaults are automatically synced when new assignments are created, reducing manual configuration.

📊 Pay Components & Analytics

More visibility and accuracy in how compensation data is presented and analysed.

• ‍Pay component chart improvements — Charts now default to a 12-month view (previously 6 months) and accurately reflect the selected colour configuration.
• ‍Friendlier payroll code selector — The pay component selector now shows user-friendly descriptions instead of raw codes.
• ‍API colour support — The public API now exposes colour attributes for pay components, enabling consistent UI rendering in custom integrations.
• ‍Chart preview on policy detail — When configuring a pay component policy definition, you can preview the chart directly on the detail page.
• ‍BI reporting & export fixes — Resolved data accuracy issues in BI reports and restored starters & leavers report downloads.

🔗 Open API Expansion

We continued to extend the Epix Open API, giving integration teams more flexibility and reach.

• ‍Employment contract endpoints — New POST and PUT methods allow creating and modifying employment contracts programmatically.
• ‍Civil state endpoints — New GET, POST, and PUT endpoints for civil state history are now available.
• ‍Richer contract data — Existing contract lookups now return additional detail fields.

🌍 Internationalisation & UX Polish

Small but impactful improvements that make Epix feel more polished and internationally aware.

• ‍Country flags throughout the UI — Flags now appear in top bar filters, the processes widget, people overview, provider listings, and the contract sidebar — making multi-country setups significantly easier to navigate.
• ‍Terminology alignment — "Dienstjubilea" updated to "Dienstverjaardagen" for better alignment with common usage.
• ‍Self-service label refinements — Clearer, more intuitive labels across the self-service environment.
• ‍Calendar policy messaging — When a calendar request policy is disabled, users now see a clear, descriptive message explaining why — instead of a generic error.
• ‍Calendar codes in team views — Calendar codes are now visible in team calendar views, providing useful context during availability reviews.

🔧 Integrations & Reliability

Stability and compliance improvements across key integrations.

• ‍HCM system name in sync widget — The sync status widget now displays the name of the connected HCM system for immediate clarity.
• ‍German provider export compliance — The pay component export for the German provider has been updated to meet current compliance requirements.

⚡ Platform & Administration

Behind-the-scenes improvements that keep Epix running smoothly and reduce admin overhead.

• ‍Payroll code defaults — New payroll codes now include default obfuscation type settings automatically, minimising configuration steps.
• ‍Bulk pay component update stability — Resolved an issue where large-scale updates could become stuck.
• ‍Reporting assistant auto-refresh — Edits in the reporting assistant now refresh automatically without requiring a manual page reload.
• ‍User management refinement — The resend invitation option no longer appears for users who have already completed registration.
