October 2024 Product Updates
Last updated: 28th October, 2024Clocking Notes on Portals
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.
Export Leave in Timesheets
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.
Clocking Notes
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.
Locations on Shift Templates
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.
Easier Employee Permission and Job Role Management
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
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!
