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.

Schedule insights now include paid breaks, both in the footer and for each employee, giving you a complete view of paid hours and costs. With greater accuracy, you can budget smarter and plan with confidence.

Employees can now log absences in advance, not just retrospectively. Whether it’s a hospital appointment or planned recovery time, your team can easily schedule time off ahead, keeping everyone informed and your workflow up to date.

Two new schedule view options make it easier to focus on the details that matter the most. Tags can now be displayed in full, shown in a condensed view, or hidden entirely to save space. You also have the option to hide location information on shifts, giving a cleaner schedule and more room for the details you really need.

The improved shift panels now give you even more visibility, showing details like break duration and open shift responses so you can track and manage shifts easily at a glance.

The Timesheets page now remembers your filter selections, so you can easily pick up where you left off. Whether navigating the system or switching between pay periods, you’ll stay focused on the selected employee, location or employment type, making auditing faster.

When you need to make quick adjustments to the schedule, every second counts and waiting for it to load is the last thing you want. Thanks to our latest performance enhancements, the schedule now runs faster than ever, letting you glide through shift changes, respond to requests in record time, and keep your team covered without breaking stride.

Tediously adding missing timesheet data is now a thing of the past! When employees forget to clock in for their shifts, you can bulk import the scheduled data as timesheets, and Shiftie will manage creating them for you quicker than you can say “Shift Scheduling Made Simple”!

Ready to approve timesheet entries for payroll but don’t want to approve them individually or all in one go? You can now select the entries you want to approve and, at the click of a button, have them all approved! Similarly, approved entries can be selected and quickly unconfirmed for further editing before exporting.

Additional data is now available on the Digitickets integration schedule footer overlay. View your redemptions alongside prebooked tickets for deeper insights into scheduling requirements and schedule shifts where necessary.

Leave and unavailability events used to cover multiple days on the schedule; these have now been broken into events for each day for easier management and understanding of time used per day, allowing more awareness of shift availability.

Understanding what’s happening throughout the working day is important so your staff understand their responsibilities. We’ve added a new widget to the top of the mobile dashboard to ensure all employees are aware of your announcements at first glance. Additionally, the desktop Upcoming Events widget can now be interacted with to view more details of each event.

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!

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.

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.
