Product Updates

Paid leave hours are now exportable with your timesheet records in a pay breakdown to share with your payroll teams or import to payroll software. All leave requests will also be exportable separately with their paid hours to store for future reference or share with others.

Employees can now easily add a note or message to a timesheet entry when they clock in or out of their shift as well as when taking breaks. Notes help timesheet managers to understand discrepancies in the scheduled versus worked hours so they can quickly approve and export for payroll.

Following Shiftie’s split of locations and schedules, shift templates will now be assigned to locations too. Fewer templates will be required for scheduling across multiple schedules, making it easier to find and assign prebuilt shifts for employees, including where they’re working.

Employee access role assignment has moved to its own page, making it easier to ensure all staff have the correct permissions. This will also allow additional permission options to be set in future releases.

Shift cost reports can now be exported to share with wider teams such as HR or external service providers. You’ll get an exact copy of your Shiftie data in CSV format to open in your favourite spreadsheet software.

Multiple devices can subscribe to Shiftie push notifications to be alerted about any activity such as leave requests or newly assigned shifts. Easier management of your device push subscriptions lets you remove old subscriptions and keep a clean list of where your notifications are sent.

We live by our motto: scheduling made simple. Creating shifts is even simpler with an improved flow to quickly pre-fill shift details and make minor adjustments before saving and publishing. A smoother shift creation flow for quicker and easier scheduling.

Improved currency formatting using the chosen currency in your company settings and presented using your browser locale. Choose from a wide range of currencies to present employee wages, shift costs or timesheet pay breakdowns.

We know your team aren't only paid when they're physically working. Timesheets now include approved time off, which is factored into the total paid hours for the period, providing a more accurate payment calculation.

All scheduled staff are now clocked out automatically at most 12 hours after their shift ends. Ensure your timesheets don’t over-extend into overtime hours and exhaust your timesheet approval processes. Automatically clocked-out shifts are highlighted in timesheets for awareness.

Improved organisation of shift templates in settings to easily find, edit or delete templates using filters and a search tool. Save time managing your templates to free up more time for applying them to your schedules.

Shiftie now includes a wider suite of reports allowing you to assess your budgets and spending across locations, groups or job roles for custom date ranges. These reports provide an easy analysis of your schedule versus actual costs grouped by employee, employment type, location and more!

You can choose to allow employees to view the job role of other staff who are working at the same time. Let employees easily find who else is working at the same time so they can communicate between teams and ensure tasks are accomplished.

Schedule announcements or business-closed events help to communicate busier or quieter days with your team to make informed schedule decisions. Creating more than one per day previously crammed the scheduling space, now you can toggle the events to optionally display what’s happening during the period in view. Announcements, business closed events and public holidays will still be visible in the schedule timeline headers for quick reference.

Exporting multiple reports and then changing employee information can make it hard to cross-reference records, this is where employee references are useful. Every exported report will now include a unique fixed reference code for each employee for quick comparison.

Have you been concerned by oddities in your team’s timesheet entries? Timesheet history lets you easily audit employee entries and discover any changes made by managers or other staff members. You now have a full set of tools to easily spot where concerns may have occurred, quickly message your team to discuss the reasons, and edit the entries so they’re accurate before approving for payroll.

As part of ongoing maintenance to improve Shiftie’s performance, enhancements to the Team page ensure your employees are loaded quickly. Spend more time managing staff and less time waiting on the dreaded spinner so you can enjoy your summer evenings.

Not all staff are entitled to a fixed leave allowance for the year, Shiftie will provide the tools to let staff accrue their leave or have leave types deduct their allowance from other leave types such as Annual Holiday. Accrual will be based on the number of approved timesheet hours within the current leave period for the employee.
