Product Updates

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.

Shiftie has a wide range of tools to help you schedule your teams with ease however we understand that nothing can be perfect. This is why we have added the ability for you to export your schedules to CSV format to manage in your favourite spreadsheet software such as Excel. This will also help in times when you just have no signal and require a downloaded version to check on the go.

As part of some ongoing changes to improve Shiftie’s performance, we have recently released some time-saving enhancements to the schedule so that your employees and shifts are loaded quicker. Spend more time scheduling and less time waiting for the dreaded spinner so you can enjoy your summer evenings.

Previously only “Working” timesheet entries would be exported to CSV but we’ve listened to your feedback and adjusted to your requirements. Now the Time Clock Export will include all “Due In”, “Working” and “Finished” shifts and timesheet entries to make this a more useful tool for running attendance registers or dealing with emergencies such as fire drills.

The schedule print options have been optimised to be more understandable for a better user experience. We’ve also adjusted the job role options so that you can print the schedule in your desired format, including printing the job role colour without including the job role name for a more compact output. Use this tool to easily print the schedule and pin it to a wall in your staff rooms so your staff are always up-to-date with their shifts.

Knowing when your staff are on leave is helpful but understanding their reasons is useful too. Now it’s even easier to identify the type of leave your staff have booked. From Annual Leave to Study Leave, you can now view leave type names and colours on the schedule to quickly identify why your staff are taking time off.

Following the recent upgrades to Timesheets on desktop, these are now also available on mobile devices to let you easily review and approve entries on the go.

Opt to hide shift job role details from employees, ensuring they show up to their shifts without prior knowledge of their assigned roles.
