This week comes with many new launches!

First, staff can now submit time-off requests directly from the app. Staff are able to select days and reasons for when and why they are requesting time off, that can then be approved by an admin with permissions to do so. This will automatically update expected ratios and schedules so you can ensure you will always be compliant.

We also launched newsletters this week. You can send bright and colorful newsletters out to your families with a fully featured email builder. You or your staff can include photos, text, links, and more. We set up 2 templates within Playground to get you started and are excited to see what you create. If you have a template you want to share with other Playground users, let us know and we can add it to our template library.

We also launched mileage tracking this week. You can now record all of your vehicles and trips to ensure you are maximizing your deductions when filing taxes.

Every week we are adding new payroll functionality as well. We now support weekly payrolls and contractor only payrolls. If you are interested in Playground Payroll, please sign up for our waitlist to get early access as more providers are getting off the list each week!
