What's new in Kinsweldo

One release a month, written to be read. Every entry below is a change you can use in the app today.

v1.4 September 2026 Latest

Government forms, pre-filled

Kinsweldo now prepares your SSS, PhilHealth, Pag-IBIG and BIR forms from approved payroll, so the numbers you remit are the numbers you paid.

  • Pre-filled SSS R-3, PhilHealth RF-1, Pag-IBIG TMF-381 and BIR Form 1601-C
  • Working a scheduled rest day is paid as rest-day work, never marked absent
  • A guided setup panel that walks new companies to their first payroll

Compliance

  • BIR Form 1601-C filled on the official January 2018 BIR form, grouped by the month pay was released, with a per-employee schedule that ties to its totals. Review before filing.
  • Pag-IBIG TMF-381 as a PDF and an Excel file ready for submission; SSS R-3 and PhilHealth RF-1 as reference copies for online filing.
  • Forms list every row they could not post, like a missing ID number, so nothing is dropped without a note.
  • Minimum wage earners are recognized automatically from your regional wage order: their minimum wage, holiday, overtime and night-differential pay are tax-exempt, while other income stays taxable (RR 11-2018). HR can also mark an employee as a minimum wage earner, with the reason recorded.

Payroll

  • A Contributions view per employee and per company that reconciles to what you remit each month.
  • Payslips name the holiday behind each holiday line and date every half-day.
  • Final pay can be settled in one run for an employee held out of an already-locked payroll.

Attendance

  • Rest-day work follows Labor Code Art. 91: an employee who works their scheduled day off is paid for it, not docked.

HR

  • Printable quitclaim and separation documents, grouped on the employee's record.

Security

  • Separated employees lose access to Kinsweldo automatically.
  • Platform updates and a security review; government ID numbers are masked in stored tax-form copies.

Experience

  • A four-step setup panel on the dashboard for new companies.
  • Contact support from inside the app, and a prompt to reload when a new version is available.
  • Features outside your plan are clearly marked, and staff can see what each plan includes.
  • Download errors now appear as a clear message on the page instead of a blank error screen.
v1.3 August 2026

Statutory premiums, supervisors and two-factor sign-in

Holiday and rest-day pay follows the statutory multipliers for every combination, supervisors get their own scoped access, and accounts can be protected with two-factor authentication.

  • Holiday, rest-day and overtime premiums at DOLE statutory rates
  • A Supervisor role limited to their own department
  • Optional two-factor authentication

Compliance

  • Holiday and rest-day premiums paid at the statutory multipliers for every combination of regular or special holiday, rest day, overtime and night differential.
  • A printable statutory payroll register.

Payroll

  • Overtime can be filed in advance, claimed for a past day the device did not record, and reopened if it was decided on a wrong premise.
  • Overtime still unreviewed at payroll cutoff is paid rather than silently dropped.

Attendance

  • Employees are notified when someone else edits their time record.

HR

  • A Supervisor role scoped to one department, with no access to payroll or personnel records. Supervisors can pull their own team's attendance from ZKTeco devices.
  • Code of Conduct management: versions, clauses, penalty ladders and prescription periods, with employees acknowledging each version.
  • Suspensions scheduled on working days only. Pro
  • Company notices with read receipts, and a document register employees can open from their portal.

Security

  • Optional two-factor authentication with an authenticator app.
  • New company sign-ups confirm their email address.

Experience

  • A mobile-first pass across the app for HR staff on phones and tablets.
v1.2 July 2026

Final pay and year-end tax

Final pay and year-end withholding tax are computed with the same explainable trace as every regular payslip.

  • Year-end tax annualization
  • Accurate final pay for employees paid in arrears
  • Minimum-wage check on every payslip

Compliance

  • Year-end withholding tax annualization, with a check that the year's other payroll runs are settled first.
  • Every payslip is checked against the regional minimum wage and flagged if pay falls below it.

Payroll

  • Final pay applies attendance deductions across both pay windows for employees paid in arrears.
  • Optional overtime approval: overtime can require filing and approval before it is paid.
  • Paid leave appears as its own payslip line, and absences show their dates.

HR

  • Attendance amnesty: forgive attendance infractions in bulk, with optional pay restoration shown as its own payslip line. Pro

Employee portal

  • Employees can see their loans and get notifications for what needs their attention.

Experience

  • Leave credits can be set up straight from the employee profile.
v1.1 June 2026

HR tools built around due process

Discipline follows the twin-notice rule end to end, every document Kinsweldo issues carries a reference number, and employees can raise pay questions directly.
