Product Updates

If you have lots of managers who are capable of approving all your teams' leave requests, you can now add them all as default leave approvers. With the ability to choose to always notify them when a leave request is added or only notify when the employee doesn’t have a leave approver set, you have more control in auditing your employees' time off.

Using the team export action, you can now export a list of your team members to CSV format for HR management or other external purposes. We’ve also adjusted the team header so it’s easier to find the actions you’re looking for.

View more detailed DigiTickets data on your schedules with historical comparisons and data visualisations. This integration enhancement lets you compare ticket sales and redemptions with similar times in the previous week or year, so you can confidently plan your schedules and make more informed budgeting decisions.

Fixed work patterns aren’t always perfect for every employee, especially if they have an irregular working schedule. With Shiftie, you can now override employee work patterns and adjust their days off. These irregular days off will count towards the employee’s leave allowance usage and even show in the Timesheets area.

Job role ordering adds additional structure to your online schedule and printed copies, ensuring everything is easily accessible and in the right place. No more time spent scrolling through the schedule trying to find employees; instead, they’re right where you’re expecting, ready to assign shifts.

Struggling to find the employee you need to manage in the team list? With additional team sorting options, you can now choose how the list is sorted, so it’s quicker to find the employee and update their details. Top tip: Use the bulk actions to make team updates much quicker!

Schedule events can be used to announce important dates and messages to your workforce. With this update, managing your events is even simpler, allowing you to assign multiple event types to the same event.

Managers now have the option to allow employees to take breaks during shifts that don’t have any scheduled. The clocked unscheduled breaks will be logged in Timesheets for managers to review.

Shiftie has several settings to control the shifts that employees can view, including across different locations. This new setting lets you control whether employees can view shifts on schedules they don’t belong to, so you can choose to keep them separate or allow employees to see who else is working.

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.

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.

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.

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.
