Oyster Team

You're juggling multiple tools, manually syncing data, and chasing down documents. This month's updates are designed to give you back time—with smarter permissions, automated workflows, and everything in one place

Smarter Team Management — match how your org works

We’ve redesigned team management into a flexible, permissions-based system that reflects how your organization actually works.

What’s new:

  • Create custom teams that match your real workflows
  • Assign time management and expense permissions at the team level
  • Add multiple approvers to ensure coverage across your operations

This update makes it easier to delegate, collaborate, and keep processes moving—no matter how your team is structured.

Oyster now integrates with Ashby, Humaans, & Lucca

If your current global HR operations require constant spreadsheet exporting and manual data entry, it's slowing down your growth.

Oyster’s new integrations with leading ATS and HRIS platforms eliminate that friction:

  • Hiring Handoff (Ashby): Instantly import selected candidate details from your ATS, eliminating repetitive data entry when making new hires.
  • Employee Management (Humaans, Lucca): Use your HRIS as the single source of truth to automatically sync time-off records, contract changes (like salary and title updates), and compliant offboarding initiation.

Scale faster with seamless data flow across your tools. Explore all integrations or see Oyster in action.


What else is new?

  • In-app service agreements
    • Service agreements are now fully managed insideOyster. No more PDFs or manual steps. You can view, sign, and download agreements in one place—speeding up onboarding and keeping documents centralized.
  • A more detailed payroll breakdown
    • You now have full visibility into the local component of every payroll item, not just items that changed from the previous cycle. This gives you deeper insight into each data point contributing to your global payroll.
  • Track offboarding and final pay in-app
    • We’ve added a new offboarding page that brings every detail into one clear view—status, progress, final pay, and country-specific guidance. Offboarding becomes more transparent, predictable, and easier to manage.

See you next month! That’s it for this month’s product updates! Stay tuned for even more exciting features coming soon.
