Product Updates

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.

As part of our ongoing efforts to grow Shiftie and continue building an innovative scheduling system for everyone, we’ve introduced French as a company-wide language setting. This is one of many languages we plan to add to Shiftie over time. If you’d like to see your native language supported, please get in touch.

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.

We’ve integrated with ICRTouch! Seamlessly connect your sales data to Shiftie and compare labour costs with your income. Sales data displays directly on your schedule to support smarter shift scheduling and in reports for clear historical cost comparisons.

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.

Have employees accidentally logged unscheduled timesheet entries? This new action lets you connect them to the correct shift, letting you compare scheduled entries against the actual worked hours, and round the timesheet as needed.

Ensuring employees are using their allocated leave is a simple but effective way to support wellbeing. We’ve added a new leave report to Shiftie that brings together every employee’s leave requests within a selected date range, making analysis quicker and clearer. You can now easily spot who may need more rest and who’s already striking a healthy balance.

Tired of having to go back and set the correct timesheet clock-in time for employees you’ve manually clocked in? With this enhancement, it’s quicker to set the time straight from the clock-in, reducing effort and saving time for more important tasks.

By combining Shiftie’s smart scheduling software and workforce‑management tools with InfoVetted’s fast, compliant screening services, this integration adds a powerful layer to your people‑management workflow. For teams handling hiring, onboarding, and shift coordination, the result is a smoother, safer, and more connected experience. Read more here.

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.

Managing employee pay just got simpler. You can now easily add different pay rates for employees as well as preset them for future dates, ready for employee pay rises or minimum wage increases. Additionally, you’ll be able to manage overtime, public holiday, and night rates for each job role an employee can work, making your schedule costs and reports more accurate.

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.

The employee export now includes each team member’s date of birth, giving you clear visibility into workforce demographics. With this added detail, you can more easily review ages and identify when pay adjustments or updates to other employment information may be appropriate.

Managing a large team and struggling to keep track of everyone? You can now enlarge employee avatars directly on the schedule, making it easier to quickly identify each team member and assign them to the right shifts with confidence.

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.

Breaks without a set start time can now be scheduled over a shift area session, allowing employees to take their breaks at the best time within their working hours. This gives teams greater autonomy while keeping overall shift timelines clear and organised. Prefer more structure? You can still assign specific break start times whenever needed.

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.
