Improvement

Timesheet export dialogs now clearly show which employees have entries that aren’t ready, making it easier to review and audit everything before running payroll. This added visibility helps you quickly confirm accuracy and ensure everyone is paid correctly.

Unscheduled timesheet entries can now be automatically rounded using your timesheet rounding rules. When an employee clocks in without a scheduled shift, their time entry will be automatically rounded according to your existing settings, helping you to keep payroll consistent and accurate.

The acknowledge‑shifts dialog now provides more detail about an employee’s upcoming shifts, including notes and tags. This gives team members a clearer understanding of any messages or responsibilities linked to their shifts before they acknowledge them, supporting smoother communication and fewer missed details.

The integration with DigiTickets has been improved, so redemption figures now count the number of people rather than the number of orders. As a result, your Dashboard widget and Schedule insights will adjust to reflect these updated figures, giving you a more accurate comparison against pre‑booked ticket data and making it easier to calculate scheduling requirements.

We’ve introduced a new access role that lets employees sign in to and set up Clock In Portals themselves. That means less morning admin for managers and fewer interruptions during the day if the system logs out. If you’d like this switched on for your company, just reach out to our support team.

Reviewing open shifts just became more streamlined! A new status for open shift requests now makes it easier to see which employees are still available and best suited for the shifts they’ve claimed. Plus, any open shifts without available responses will be automatically hidden from the Requests page, keeping things cleaner and easier to manage.

What’s a Dashboard without powerful tools? Just another filler page. At Shiftie, we take pride in providing great user experiences. That’s why we’ve enhanced the Schedule Overview widget to make adjusting shifts faster and keeping on top of actions easier. The widget now remembers the schedule you last selected and includes new viewing options, allowing you to switch between weekly and daily views seamlessly.

Even better, shifts can now be managed directly from the Dashboard; there’s no need to navigate back and forth to the full schedule. It’s all designed to save you time and reduce friction when managing your schedule.

To help you manage end-of-year leave allowance changes, we’ve added a smart new tool that automatically transfers an employee’s current and future leave requests from their previous policy’s default leave type to the new policy’s default leave type. This makes it easy to deduct allowances correctly when leave needs to be tracked under a different type, without the need for manual adjustments. Don’t worry, historical data remains unchanged and available for reporting.

With the upcoming changes to Statutory Sick Pay, accurately tracking employee absences and sickness has never been more important. To support this, we’ve introduced a new absence type in Shiftie: “Non Sickness (Authorised)”. This can be applied to absence records and easily filtered within absence reports, giving you clearer oversight and more accurate reporting.

We’ve also added a practical tool to help you calculate Bradford Factor scores, making it simpler to monitor attendance patterns and manage absence consistently and fairly. You can read more about this here.

Managing teams through periods of change can be time-consuming, especially when individual employee details need updating. While Team Bulk Actions already help to streamline large-scale updates, we know there are times when a more tailored approach is required.

To make this process smoother, the Team page now remembers your selected filters when you navigate away and return, saving you from repeatedly resetting your view. We’ve also introduced two new filter options to help you quickly identify employees who are not yet assigned to a group or schedule. This reduces manual searching and cuts down on endless scrolling.

It’s now easier to pay employees for public holiday breaks. By enabling public holidays in an employee’s leave policy, you can quickly add them to timesheet entries and include them in payroll exports, saving time and reducing manual adjustments.

The printed schedule now includes employee unavailability, making it easier to share complete, up-to-date information with other teams. This added visibility helps improve awareness, reduce clashes, and support better day-to-day planning.

Adding new team members to your schedules just got even easier. You can now quickly select them directly from their groups, speeding up the scheduling process and reducing the chance of missing anyone.

Last-minute schedule changes often need to be communicated fast. With this new bulk action, you can simply select the relevant shifts and send a message to all assigned team members in one streamlined step.

The billing system has been migrated to a more secure and easily manageable platform. All billing information is now managed directly through Stripe. Additionally, new payment method options will soon be available for Shiftie, including Direct Debit or Google and Apple Wallets. We’ve also introduced the new Pay Per Employee subscription plan.

Identifying employees who haven’t taken enough leave is an important part of supporting well-being and maintaining a healthy, productive team. On the Team Leave page, colour coding makes it easy to see who may be at risk of burnout and who’s maintaining a good balance of time off. With just a glance, you can take proactive steps to encourage rest and keep your team performing at their best.

It’s now easier to manage leave as the end of the leave year approaches. The Team Leave page now displays each employee’s leave policy start date, making it simple to see whose leave year is wrapping up. Quickly plan for the year ahead, make adjustments, or identify employees who need to use or be paid for their remaining leave hours, all at a glance.

Keeping track of when employees are exceeding their contracted hours is key to maintaining balance and compliance. Previously, this information was always visible, which could feel a little cluttered. Now, we’ve refined the experience, and these details appear only when you set shift times that would push an employee beyond their contracted hours. It’s a cleaner, smarter way to stay informed without unnecessary distraction.

Approving open shift requests is now quicker and easier. With additional information visible when approving, including the schedule and employee group, it’s easy to find the most suitable employee for the shift! Not simple enough for you? Instead, let Shiftie automatically approve shift assignments using intelligent selection, choosing the most suitable employees from the list.

Archived employee contact details are now accessible directly within Shiftie. By clicking on an archived employee, you can immediately view their contact information, making it easy to reconnect or follow up without delays. This ensures smooth communication with past team members whenever needed.
