Product Updates

The employee time-off interface has been reimagined, offering a more transparent and user-friendly breakdown of an individual's current leave entitlements and remaining balances.

The shift conflicts panel on the schedule provides schedule managers with improved visibility and control over potential shift conflicts. Each conflict can now be addressed directly from the scheduling interface, leveraging additional insights and shift management capabilities.

The new read receipt feature lets managers easily track who's viewed critical documents. For instance, if the company updates its health & safety policy, employees can be required to acknowledge the policy document, confirming they have read it.

Assign shift areas to your employees' shifts and view all area allocations on the schedule to ensure optimal coverage. This feature makes sure that employees are allocated to the right place at the right time, enhancing visitor experiences.

The navigation menus have been standardised to simplify moving around Shiftie, and colour contrasts have been updated to improve accessibility. Additionally, the settings menu now includes a search function to help quickly find the settings you’re looking for.

The Shiftie development team are continuously looking for ways to make your scheduling more efficient, and we’ve been hard at work this month making lots of small changes to improve your experience. From speed enhancements to usability improvements, we’re always on your side to save you time.

Need to adjust the amount of leave a request has deducted from an employee’s allowance, or change the amount of paid hours? Leave managers can now change the hours per day the request covers when approving an employee’s leave request.

Shiftie now allows shift managers to adjust shifts that started in the past. Shifts that have not been clocked into will be fully editable, while shifts that employees have already clocked into will be restricted with only the shift end time, tags, and notes able to be adjusted. This enables managers to tell their staff to come in earlier or later and add additional details at the last minute.

New leave type settings allow you to customise leave types with colours and icons for quicker identification, making it easier for managers to differentiate between booked leave on the schedule and timesheet views.

The create and edit shift form has been split into two tabs; basic and advanced details. From the basic tab, you can set the shift times, job role and location, as well as any breaks or allocated shift areas. The advanced tab lets you add additional details such as tags and notes. This cleaner interface smooths the process of scheduling shifts.

Shift managers can now schedule a whole week’s worth of shifts in one click! This simplifies setting up your schedules and allows you to build schedule templates faster. Additionally, you can duplicate employees' shifts and move them around the schedule for easier schedule management.

Be one step ahead and understand your upcoming Shiftie subscription payments. Whether you're paying annually or monthly you’ll have insights into your next employee or package charges, helping you budget accurately.

Shiftie now gives you the option to allow staff to clock in from outside the GPS restriction radius for your locations. This enables employees to clock in when the signal is poor. Any discrepancies will be logged on Timesheets so you can easily manage employees potentially abusing this feature.

Shiftie is getting smarter making your scheduling simpler. Digitickets prebooked figures are now displayed directly on the schedule to make quick informed scheduling decisions. Assign more shifts to days with higher visitor numbers and save money where fewer visitors have booked.

The create and edit shift form has been split into two tabs; basic details and shift breaks. Ultimately, the breaks tab will include the ability to assign shift areas for the scheduled employee. Sessions are ordered chronologically for easy management of breaks and areas.

A new shift details panel will provide more detailed information about each shift for employees and shift managers on both desktop and mobile devices. Quickly view all the information about a shift and act on it as necessary; no more guessing whether it’s the right shift to claim, edit, or approve.

A new schedule setting enables employees to claim open shifts on their days off and notify them that these shifts are available to pick up. Not a fan? This can be turned off so that staff can only claim shifts for the days they usually work.

Shiftie is always looking to save you time when scheduling your teams. With continuous performance improvements the dashboard widgets and schedule now load quicker than ever freeing up your daylight hours.

Save time on tedious employee management tasks by using the bulk update options on the Team page. This now includes bulk updating employees' work patterns so that the schedule and shift assignment modals displays which days employees do and don’t work.

Employees can now easily add a note to a timesheet entry when they clock in or out using a Portal. Notes help timesheet managers understand discrepancies in the scheduled versus worked hours so they can quickly approve and export for payroll.
