Improvement

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
