Frappe HR Hits 1K Stars
We are happy to announce that Frappe HR has achieved a significant milestone in crossing 1000 stars on GitHub!
Now onto the new features in Frappe HR this month, a full-fledged Roster Management system is here. This feature brings you a calendar view to get a complete representation of your employee shifts, leaves, and holidays in one glance. You can create, delete, or drag & drop shifts to reschedule or swap them—making shift management as easy as it gets.
New Roster Management System
Payroll can be tricky, especially during an employee’s notice period. The new Salary Withholding feature allows you to withhold salaries during payroll for specific periods, ensuring that only accurate payments are processed. This prevents any discrepancies and gives you full control over salary disbursements.

Helpdesk
We’re making strides towards a portal-first Helpdesk experience:
You can now add or update your email account directly from the new Settings Modal. Plus, customize your Helpdesk further by updating your brand logo and favicon from the same spot.
Export tickets straight from the Helpdesk interface. Choose the tickets you want and download them in CSV or Excel format with just a few clicks.
Navigating the Agent Portal has never been easier. Press "cmd + k" on a Mac or "ctrl + k" on Windows to open the Command Palette. Type what you need, and instantly access tickets or knowledge base articles.
We’ve improved the knowledge base article search. Customers can now find answers faster and more accurately, with Helpdesk suggesting relevant articles as they type their query.
