Product Updates

Timesheet export dialogs now clearly show which employees have entries that aren’t ready, making it easier to review and audit everything before running payroll. This added visibility helps you quickly confirm accuracy and ensure everyone is paid correctly.

We’ve expanded the Time Clock tools to make life a little easier. Alongside setting custom clock‑in and clock‑out times, managers can now end an employee’s break with a chosen time right from the Time Clock page. So if someone forgets to clock back in but you see them working, you can update their return time on the spot, no need to remember to fix their timesheet entry later.

Unscheduled timesheet entries can now be automatically rounded using your timesheet rounding rules. When an employee clocks in without a scheduled shift, their time entry will be automatically rounded according to your existing settings, helping you to keep payroll consistent and accurate.

The acknowledge‑shifts dialog now provides more detail about an employee’s upcoming shifts, including notes and tags. This gives team members a clearer understanding of any messages or responsibilities linked to their shifts before they acknowledge them, supporting smoother communication and fewer missed details.

The integration with DigiTickets has been improved, so redemption figures now count the number of people rather than the number of orders. As a result, your Dashboard widget and Schedule insights will adjust to reflect these updated figures, giving you a more accurate comparison against pre‑booked ticket data and making it easier to calculate scheduling requirements.

Shiftie’s new schedule layout helps you easily view the allocation of job roles across your weekly shifts. This helps ensure that all positions are fulfilled each day and reduces the need for searching each employee to check which role they’re working. With tools for adding new shifts, easily reallocating with drag-and-drop, and quickly viewing who’s on leave, this new view is sure to keep your scheduling simple! Read more about managing job roles here.

We’ve introduced a new access role that lets employees sign in to and set up Clock In Portals themselves. That means less morning admin for managers and fewer interruptions during the day if the system logs out. If you’d like this switched on for your company, just reach out to our support team.

No more timesheets stuck with the “dreaded red dot”. You can now mark employees as absent to confirm missing timesheets and specify whether absences are paid. Absences can also be recorded directly from Time Clock, helping you manage each day as it happens and export everything in your pay reports, ready for payroll.

We’ve added a new way to subscribe to Shiftie. You can now pay via direct debit as well as card, offering a hassle‑free alternative to card payments and eliminating the need to constantly update card details. Just set it up once, and you’re good to go.

Reviewing open shifts just became more streamlined! A new status for open shift requests now makes it easier to see which employees are still available and best suited for the shifts they’ve claimed. Plus, any open shifts without available responses will be automatically hidden from the Requests page, keeping things cleaner and easier to manage.

You can now access an employee’s full history of pay rates directly within Shiftie. This update makes it easier to audit payroll for previous months and verify what rates were in place before any changes occurred. 

What’s a Dashboard without powerful tools? Just another filler page. At Shiftie, we take pride in providing great user experiences. That’s why we’ve enhanced the Schedule Overview widget to make adjusting shifts faster and keeping on top of actions easier. The widget now remembers the schedule you last selected and includes new viewing options, allowing you to switch between weekly and daily views seamlessly.

Even better, shifts can now be managed directly from the Dashboard; there’s no need to navigate back and forth to the full schedule. It’s all designed to save you time and reduce friction when managing your schedule.

To help you manage end-of-year leave allowance changes, we’ve added a smart new tool that automatically transfers an employee’s current and future leave requests from their previous policy’s default leave type to the new policy’s default leave type. This makes it easy to deduct allowances correctly when leave needs to be tracked under a different type, without the need for manual adjustments. Don’t worry, historical data remains unchanged and available for reporting.

As part of our ongoing efforts to grow Shiftie and continue building an innovative scheduling system for everyone, we’ve introduced French as a company-wide language setting. This is one of many languages we plan to add to Shiftie over time. If you’d like to see your native language supported, please get in touch.

With the upcoming changes to Statutory Sick Pay, accurately tracking employee absences and sickness has never been more important. To support this, we’ve introduced a new absence type in Shiftie: “Non Sickness (Authorised)”. This can be applied to absence records and easily filtered within absence reports, giving you clearer oversight and more accurate reporting.

We’ve also added a practical tool to help you calculate Bradford Factor scores, making it simpler to monitor attendance patterns and manage absence consistently and fairly. You can read more about this here.

Managing teams through periods of change can be time-consuming, especially when individual employee details need updating. While Team Bulk Actions already help to streamline large-scale updates, we know there are times when a more tailored approach is required.

To make this process smoother, the Team page now remembers your selected filters when you navigate away and return, saving you from repeatedly resetting your view. We’ve also introduced two new filter options to help you quickly identify employees who are not yet assigned to a group or schedule. This reduces manual searching and cuts down on endless scrolling.

We’ve integrated with ICRTouch! Seamlessly connect your sales data to Shiftie and compare labour costs with your income. Sales data displays directly on your schedule to support smarter shift scheduling and in reports for clear historical cost comparisons.

Have employees accidentally logged unscheduled timesheet entries? This new action lets you connect them to the correct shift, letting you compare scheduled entries against the actual worked hours, and round the timesheet as needed.

It’s now easier to pay employees for public holiday breaks. By enabling public holidays in an employee’s leave policy, you can quickly add them to timesheet entries and include them in payroll exports, saving time and reducing manual adjustments.

Ensuring employees are using their allocated leave is a simple but effective way to support wellbeing. We’ve added a new leave report to Shiftie that brings together every employee’s leave requests within a selected date range, making analysis quicker and clearer. You can now easily spot who may need more rest and who’s already striking a healthy balance.
