What's new in HRGP

Questions about updates
Do I have to install anything?
No. HRGP runs in your browser and on your phone, and updates arrive in your account on their own.
Do new features cost extra?
Not unless the Pricing page says so. Usage-based charges, such as AI interviews, texting and paid job boards, are listed there.
Why don't I see a feature listed here?
Some features are for US companies only, like Onboarding, payroll and Time Clock, and some are turned on by an administrator. Ask your administrator, or contact us.
