🚀 What's New in Epix

August was all about a smoother payroll close, with the redesigned closure and handover experience now available to every customer. We also strengthened pay transparency with compliance tracking, added scoped access controls for API integrations, and shipped a range of everyday improvements across workflows and reporting. Here's everything that's new.

⚡ Payroll Closure, Reimagined

The biggest update of the month: our redesigned payroll closure and handover experience is now available to every customer.

• ‍Guided, Step-by-Step Closure — A new guided closure workflow with configurable steps walks you through payroll closure from start to finish.
• ‍Smarter Scheduling — A new calendar widget surfaces key payroll closure dates at a glance.
• ‍Clearer Finish Screen — The closure finish screen now shows personal and contract data plus a final review overview, so you can catch issues before they become problems.
• ‍Redesigned Handover — The handover process now supports CSV and TXT file uploads, with the option to add handover notes directly from the closure screen.
• ‍Cleaner Export Layout — Payroll closure exports are easier to read, with results and pay components more clearly laid out.

💰 Pay Transparency & Compensation

New tools make it easier to trust and act on your compensation data.

• ‍Compliance at a Glance — A new compliance status overview shows exactly which pay bands need attention.
• ‍Deeper Dashboard Navigation — Jump directly from the pay transparency dashboard to individual pay band pages, and drill into heatmap cells for more detail.
• ‍More Accurate Pay Data — Fixed pay level and band type mismatches and incorrect pay component calculations, so your compensation data can be trusted.

🔗 Integrations & API

Stronger, safer connections between Epix and the tools you rely on.

• ‍Scoped API Permissions — Grant integrations exactly the access they need: read-only, read and write, or no access at all.
• ‍More Reliable Syncs — Enhanced Nmbrs integration reliability, clearer warnings when no HCM system is configured, and full employee syncs that now include only active employees.
• ‍Cleaner Data Exports — Improved accuracy for company car and CO₂ data, and fixed contract import failures caused by duplicate employer numbers.

🛠️ Everyday Improvements

Smaller refinements that add up across workflows, reporting, and daily admin.

• ‍Simplified Work Schedules — Work schedule setup is now streamlined into a single form, with clearer logic linking FTE percentage to contract hours.
• ‍Better Organisation & Reporting — Manage cost centers as a structured list, share report definitions in view-only mode, and add notes directly to organisation records.
• ‍Smoother Workflows — Workflow task answers now carry over to later steps automatically, task assignment emails link directly to the task, and your workflow list separates active from archived.

‍

August's release reinforces our focus on making payroll close faster and less stressful, keeping compensation data accurate and transparent, and giving you finer control over how Epix connects to the rest of your ecosystem.
