Here’s what we’ve been working on…
greytHR Request Hub
greytHR’s Request Hub feature streamlines processes like travel approvals and allowances.
Prior to this, managing requests involved endless emails, long waits, and unclear workflows, which hindered productivity and teamwork.
The Request Hub solves this by offering simpler, user-friendly request management, faster approvals with real-time tracking, and improved transparency. With clear workflows, it enhances collaboration and accountability, making request management quicker, easier, and stress-free for everyone.
Introducing TCS/TDS Declarations in POI and IT Declarations
Employees can now declare Tax Collected at Source (TCS) and Tax Deducted at Source (TDS) in their IT Declarations and Proof of Investments. This feature prevents overpayment, simplifies tax calculations with automatic adjustments, and enhances transparency in tax reporting for employees and admins.
The 1721_Tidak_Final Report (Indonesia)
The 1721_Tidak_Final report is a critical compliance document in Indonesia, used to report non-final income tax withheld (PPh 21) on employee salaries and benefits. Unlike final taxes, which are settled at the time of withholding, non-final taxes are subject to further reconciliation at the end of the fiscal year.
greytHR PRO - POI Overview Dashboard
The POI Overview Dashboard on greytHR PRO streamlines multi-client Proof of Investments (POI) management, making it more efficient and organized during the busy season. It offers a centralized view of POI statuses across all accounts and quick summary statistics of various process statuses for the organization as a whole.
The dashboard enables easy reporting with downloadable Excel reports and provides filtering options by payroll executives, ensuring seamless team tracking and improved workflow management.
greytHR Recruit - Employee Categories as Job Information Field

Additionally, employee position data is automatically pushed to HRMS without manual intervention, simplifying job setup in Recruit.
greytHR Recruit - Add Hired Employee
HR admins and onboarding specialists often face inefficiencies and errors when manually adding employees using recruitment documents.

This feature enables seamless job posting, application management, and sourcing directly within the platform. It addresses limited sourcing options, simplifies ROI tracking, and meets customer demand, with over 50% requesting this integration.
