South Jordan, Utah – September 1, 2016 – Available today, employee app Stratus.hr Mobile v.2.0 appeases employees wanting more information at their fingertips with user-friendly functionality. “Thousands of client employees have downloaded our original app and then passed along upgrade suggestions to their Stratus.hr representatives,” says Michelyn Farnsworth, Stratus.hr President. “We’re excited to now launch version 2.0, which is a direct reflection of their input.”With a more distinguished look and feel, Stratus.hr Mobile v.2.0 boasts of new features that include the ability to:
- Change Direct Deposit info without messy paperwork (or voided checks)

As with the original app, Stratus.hr Mobile 2.0 will allow client employees to:

“In today’s tech-savvy world, we’ve found that the more information we can put in employees’ hands, the easier it is on business owners,” says Farnsworth. “If there are questions about workplace policies, holiday time off, drug and alcohol testing, benefits coverage, or anything else found in the documents section of the app, the employer can simply say, ‘Go read about it in the app!’”
