Here's what we released in week 3 of December
CRM
New Contract Workflow Pay Configuration Fields: Apprenticeship Levy and Payroll Costs
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
We’ve added Apprenticeship Levy and Payroll Cost to the Contract Workflow pay configuration, at the request of Red Sky Personnel.
These new fields sit alongside existing pay components and are included automatically in contract pay calculations for newly created PAYE jobs.
- Apprenticeship Levy is configured as a percentage, working in line with the other percentage-based costs.
- Payroll Cost is a fixed fee, added directly to the calculation.
Both fields can be renamed in Job Configuration, and we’ve added clear descriptions under each setting to make it easier to understand how they’re used.
Existing jobs won’t be affected by this change; all current rates and charge calculations remain the same. The new values will only apply to jobs created after the feature is enabled.
The new fields are available via the API and can be used as email merge fields, with separate fields for the percentage and calculated value to make email setup clearer and more predictable.
Reports dashboard columns for these values will follow in a future update.

Profile Settings – Advanced Search Filters
Version(s): Basic/Professional/Enterprise
This week we have updated the Candidate Search Advanced Filters and Search Additional Columns to hide fields that have been disabled within People Configuration>Profile Settings.
This is a follow on to the recently released Profile Settings feature currently in Open Beta.
When fields are disabled, they will no longer appear within the Advanced Filters section on a Candidate Search, or as selectable options within the Additional Columns menu within Candidate Search results.
