Product Updates

Identifying employees who haven’t taken enough leave is an important part of supporting well-being and maintaining a healthy, productive team. On the Team Leave page, colour coding makes it easy to see who may be at risk of burnout and who’s maintaining a good balance of time off. With just a glance, you can take proactive steps to encourage rest and keep your team performing at their best.

It’s now easier to manage leave as the end of the leave year approaches. The Team Leave page now displays each employee’s leave policy start date, making it simple to see whose leave year is wrapping up. Quickly plan for the year ahead, make adjustments, or identify employees who need to use or be paid for their remaining leave hours, all at a glance.

Keeping track of when employees are exceeding their contracted hours is key to maintaining balance and compliance. Previously, this information was always visible, which could feel a little cluttered. Now, we’ve refined the experience, and these details appear only when you set shift times that would push an employee beyond their contracted hours. It’s a cleaner, smarter way to stay informed without unnecessary distraction.

Approving open shift requests is now quicker and easier. With additional information visible when approving, including the schedule and employee group, it’s easy to find the most suitable employee for the shift! Not simple enough for you? Instead, let Shiftie automatically approve shift assignments using intelligent selection, choosing the most suitable employees from the list.

Archived employee contact details are now accessible directly within Shiftie. By clicking on an archived employee, you can immediately view their contact information, making it easy to reconnect or follow up without delays. This ensures smooth communication with past team members whenever needed.

Say goodbye to the stress of last-minute schedule changes! With Shiftie’s schedule bulk updates feature, you can easily select multiple shifts at once and apply updates across all of them in a single action. Whether you need to adjust times, tags, or notes, this feature streamlines the process, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of errors. Keep your team on track effortlessly while maintaining a clear, accurate schedule, even when plans change at the last minute.

Schedule insights now include paid breaks, both in the footer and for each employee, giving you a complete view of paid hours and costs. With greater accuracy, you can budget smarter and plan with confidence.

Employees can now log absences in advance, not just retrospectively. Whether it’s a hospital appointment or planned recovery time, your team can easily schedule time off ahead, keeping everyone informed and your workflow up to date.

Two new schedule view options make it easier to focus on the details that matter the most. Tags can now be displayed in full, shown in a condensed view, or hidden entirely to save space. You also have the option to hide location information on shifts, giving a cleaner schedule and more room for the details you really need.

Employees can now share their pronouns, helping teams communicate with respect and confidence. By removing guesswork and misassumptions, everyone feels valued, helping create a happier and more inclusive workplace.

The improved shift panels now give you even more visibility, showing details like break duration and open shift responses so you can track and manage shifts easily at a glance.

The Timesheets page now remembers your filter selections, so you can easily pick up where you left off. Whether navigating the system or switching between pay periods, you’ll stay focused on the selected employee, location or employment type, making auditing faster.

Auditing absences just got easier with the new absence report. Quickly view a list of employee absences across your chosen date range, with handy filters for team members, locations, or groups. Once you’ve refined the data, simply export the report to share it with your HR team in just a few clicks.

Tired of scrolling through multiple weeks to ensure the month is covered? Schedule Month View is here to help give you a wider view of your schedules. You can now view all shifts across each month and quickly make changes where needed. Time off will also be visible in the new view, and bulk actions will work across the full month, allowing you to quickly manage more shifts at once.

When you need to make quick adjustments to the schedule, every second counts and waiting for it to load is the last thing you want. Thanks to our latest performance enhancements, the schedule now runs faster than ever, letting you glide through shift changes, respond to requests in record time, and keep your team covered without breaking stride.

Tediously adding missing timesheet data is now a thing of the past! When employees forget to clock in for their shifts, you can bulk import the scheduled data as timesheets, and Shiftie will manage creating them for you quicker than you can say “Shift Scheduling Made Simple”!

Ready to approve timesheet entries for payroll but don’t want to approve them individually or all in one go? You can now select the entries you want to approve and, at the click of a button, have them all approved! Similarly, approved entries can be selected and quickly unconfirmed for further editing before exporting.

Not a fan of automatic rounding and prefer a more manual approach? Use Shiftie’s manual rounding action to quickly update timesheets to your predefined rules and watch the magic happen right before your eyes!

If you need to double-check timesheet rounding adjustments before exporting for payroll, be it automatic or manual, you can view all changes in Timesheet History. Get a quick summary of all adjustments made and even view the original clocking times to ensure employees are paid correctly.
