December 2022 Release Notes: New Features and Fixes to ReadyPay Online

New Features and Fixes | August 2022

The demands of today’s employees continue to change. From employee wellness to financial security, companies are now tasked with meeting those demands in order to attract the best talent in their industry. 

A major tool in providing financial security to employees is on-demand pay.  As prices continue to soar in our country, it’s no surprise that offering employees early access to earned wages plays a vital role in providing financial security. 

Proliant offers one of the best on-demand pay solutions in the industry.  From IRS compliance to early access to wages for hourly and salaried employees, ReadyPay Online ensures your employees are satisfied, resulting in increased recruitment and retention.. 

In order to provide a top on-demand pay solution, we continue to make the necessary improvements. Here are some new features and fixes we have recently made to ReadyPay Online.

New Features

Performance Log 

The ReadyPay Online Performance Log now combines many Talent Management features into a single location. The Performance Log functions similar to an inbox, where users can send and receive items relating to Performance and Talent Management

Basic/Advanced Coaching 

Basic and advanced coaching is included for all ReadyPay Online customers.

Coaching allows a supervisor to provide coaching feedback to an employee. Coaching feedback consists of an emoji that can be positive, negative, or constructive, as well as any relevant notes that the supervisor wishes to share. 

Employee Feedback Requests 

Feedback requests allow an employee to request feedback from any active employee at your company. Feedback requests allow an employee to be their own advocate for coaching feedback and reviews. This feedback may be viewed by the employee, the recipient of the request, any assigned supervisors, and system administrators.

Shout Outs 

Shout outs allow any employee to send a message of congratulation, support, or appreciation to another employee. 

Custom phrases 

Custom phrases provide you the opportunity to restrict coaching or shout-out messages to a selection of system-configured text. 

Coaching and Shout out Acknowledgment 

Coaching and Shout Out acknowledgments allow an employee to acknowledge and respond to coaching and shout outs. 

Personal Notes 

Personal notes allow any employee to record a note for themselves to remind them of one or more action items.

Goals 

Employees, supervisors, and administrators can add journal entries and progress updates on goals, and indicate if a goal has been completed.

Competencies 

Employees, supervisors, and administrators can journal on assigned competencies, and these competencies can also be pulled into reviews to assess an employee’s job performance.
