Bulk payroll approval and a payslip designer you can actually use
Approve a whole pay run in one action instead of employee by employee, and lay out your own payslip — logo, columns, Burmese labels — without asking us to change a template.

Approving a pay run used to mean one confirmation per employee. For a 300-person company that is 300 clicks, and the payroll officer had no way to see what was still outstanding without scrolling the list.
v5.4 makes approval a single action on the run, with a summary of what is about to be approved and a full audit trail of who approved what. The payslip designer lands in the same release, so the output of that run is finally yours to lay out.
New features
4- Bulk payroll approval — approve or reject an entire pay run in one action, with a per-employee breakdown before you commit
- Payslip designer — drag your own columns, logo and Burmese labels onto the payslip and save it as the company template
- Approval audit trail — every approval records who, when and from which device, exportable for audit
- Paternity leave preset — the statutory 15-day entitlement ships as a leave type, ready to assign

Improvements
3- Year-end leave carry-forward for 500 employees now runs in seconds rather than minutes
- Draft, pending approval, approved and paid are now distinct pay run states with their own colours
- The employee picker searches by employee code as well as by name

Fixes
2- Overtime crossing midnight rounded to the wrong quarter-hour on the second day
- Long Burmese names no longer clip at the edge of the payslip PDF

Breaking change
Approval permission moves from the payroll module to its own "Approve pay run" right.
Anyone who could approve before keeps the right automatically, but new roles must be granted it explicitly under Settings → Roles.
