3. 2023 New Year system initialization New Year system initialization - by 31 Dec Midnight, we will set the system into the maintenance mode and initialize for many companies’ new year refresh. It will be back up on 2 Jan 2022. Also please note that by first 1-2 working days of the year, historically many people come in and apply for leaves. While we will add many dozens of servers in, there may be experience of slowness. But it will be cleared very soon – so suggest not to put any important things such as Payroll operations on the first 2 days of the new year.
