Plenix 2026.10.66 — Time Off: policies, balances and bank holidays
Leave now runs on real policies. Give each group of people their own allowance, part-year for joiners, extra days for service and carry-over that expires, count days off around each region's bank holidays, block busy dates, see who is off on the team calendar and spot absence patterns with the Bradford factor.
Plenix 2026.10.62 — Pay equity: pay gaps by group, like-for-like roles, outliers and dated reports
HCM gets a pay equity hub. See gender and other pay gaps worked out from hourly pay, compare groups inside the same job title or pay band, find people paid well below their peers, and freeze the figures on a snapshot date for a gender pay gap report. Equality details are given privately by each person and small groups are never shown.
Plenix 2026.10.61 — Benefits: plans, enrolment windows, life events and total rewards statements
HCM gets a benefits hub. Set up plans such as health cover, pension and cycle to work, each with levels of cover and rules for who can join. People choose or turn plans down in an enrolment window, when they start, or after a life event. Active cover feeds a monthly payroll deductions list, and everyone gets a total rewards statement.
Plenix 2026.10.60 — Compensation: pay bands, a full pay history and merit cycles
HCM gets a compensation hub. Set pay bands for each role and see who is underpaid or above range. Every pay change is kept with its reason and date, and changes dated in the future are applied on the day. Run merit cycles where managers plan rises for their team within a budget, guided by performance ratings, and HR approves before anything changes.
Plenix 2026.10.59 — Offboarding: one checklist for everything that has to happen when someone leaves
HCM gets a full offboarding hub. Start offboarding and Plenix finds everything the leaver still holds, from laptops and direct reports to shifts, tickets and open claims, and builds the checklist for you. It works out their holiday to the leaving date, switches off their access on the day, and gives them a private exit interview. HR gets turnover analytics.
Plenix 2026.10.58 — Recruitment: a full applicant tracking system with a careers site, interviews, scorecards and offers
HCM recruitment becomes a complete applicant tracking system. Publish roles on your own branded careers site, screen applicants with questions, move them through a pipeline you design, schedule interviews, collect scorecards from the hiring team, send offers people accept online, and turn a hire into an employee with onboarding already started.
Plenix 2026.10.57 — Performance: review cycles with calibration, 1:1s, feedback and praise, and an org chart
HCM gains a full performance hub. Run review cycles with self, manager and peer reviews, calibrate ratings before releasing them, hold 1:1s with shared agendas and action items that carry over, give feedback and praise tagged with your company values, and see who reports to whom on a live org chart.
Plenix 2026.10.31 — Payroll countries you add with one click
Payroll Countries now comes with ready-made tax setups for the UK, US, Canada, France, Spain, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Tax bands are edited in a simple form instead of code, and you can try a salary before you save.
Plenix 2026.10.27 — Payroll that Accounting can pay, with BACS bank files
Payroll now runs end to end. HR processes a run, Accounting downloads a CSV or BACS Standard 18 bank file, marks the wages paid from a bank account and matches it to the statement. Approved expense and mileage claims are repaid through payroll or directly.
Plenix 2026.10.26 — A general ledger, and journals that say who they are for
Accounting gets a General Ledger screen with running balances for every account. Journal Entries gain search, filters, paging and export, and every entry now names the customer, supplier or employee behind it.
Plenix 2026.10.25 — Every screen wired up, from purchase orders to payroll
A platform-wide check of every module: purchase orders get a full lifecycle, scheduled scripts now run, preventive maintenance raises its own work orders, HR screens save properly, long dropdowns become searchable, and remote sessions get smoother.
