# July 2026

> What changed in Swiss HR Easy in July 2026.

July brought a calmer interface, the new compensation module, multiple *Rechtsträger* in production, and the first building blocks of the time-tracking platform.

## Highlights

* **A consistent interface.** Shared page headers and toolbars, success and error messages on every action, a Cmd-K command palette, and a dashboard that opens with your own tasks.
* **Compensation (Lohn & Einstufung).** *Funktionsstufen*, *Lohnbänder*, placements with a written rationale, band-health insights, and a portal page where employees see their band.
* **Multiple Rechtsträger live.** Contracts, SECO *Stellenmeldung* and payroll master data carry the employing legal entity; transfers and bulk corrections included.
* **Time tracking grows up.** *Sollzeit* work plans, a *Gleitzeit* balance with HR overview, a server-side time clock for the iOS app, and a monthly *Lohnbüro* export.
* **Mein Portal.** The portal is now every employee's self-service home, with a role-aware start page, sick-leave certificate upload and a notification bell.

## Also new

* Contracts accept Word templates, keep versioned templates with validity windows, and produce PDF/A output.
* Draft contracts can be edited or reset, and employees sign and upload from the portal.
* Monthly employee data check with an XLSX export for the Lohnbüro.
* Configurable onboarding tasks with a per-position onboarding manager.
* Probation questionnaires go out automatically, with configurable e-mail texts and a per-employee panel.
* Public holidays (*Feiertage*) admin and school-calendar vacation counting.
* Interview invitations include a calendar file; applicants can decline AI review of their application.
* Outlook folders are scanned every 30 minutes and applicant mail is filed automatically.
* Dashboard sections can be collapsed, reordered and resized.
* Salary fields are visible only to managers, grant holders and view-all roles; new SYSTEM\_ADMIN role without PII access.

## Fixes and polish

Word placeholders no longer break across formatting runs, magic-link e-mails work again, ongoing sick leave shows correctly, and actions that used to fail silently now report what went wrong.
