Product Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
