New-Look Timesheets

Our timesheets module has had a refresh, simplifying and streamlining the process for reviewing employee time entries.

Simplified View The key change has been streamlining the module to contain all the information you need on a single centralised page. You now have the ability to jump between employees while remaining in the same view, making it quicker and easier to handle your teams' time entries. Quick Tools We’ve also introduced additional tools to let you effortlessly add details for missed shifts based on the schedule or quickly approve bulk entries. This speeds things up whether an employee has forgotten to clock in or has consistently clocked in perfectly, leaving you able to pay your team promptly and save the time to spend on more exciting jobs. Advanced Filters Our filter enhancements make finding individual time entries easier, too. Search for entries with particular tags, or filter to view specific employment types like full-time and part-time. No more wasting time trawling through different employee profiles to find the information you need; instead, it’s right at your fingertips.

Onboarding Widget For Employees

Fed up of constantly reminding your new team members to update their profile? We've added a new widget at the bottom corner of the page to help them with onboarding.  Staff will now be prompted to add their details and unavailability when they first get started, making the Shiftie experience better for both of you.

Notifications Update

The notifications section has been becoming steadily more obsolete as we’ve introduced Requests and improved the dashboard, and we’ve now removed it altogether. You’ll still receive all the same notifications as before, but now they’ll live in more logical places in the app, instead of all being lumped in together.

Auto Clock Out For Unscheduled Shifts

Fed up of unscheduled shifts running on for days or weeks when your team forget to clock out of them? Us too; that's why we've introduced a new auto-clock-out setting.

Break Start Time on Time Clock

Unscheduled Shift Settings

We've noticed that some staff can get a little confused when seeing unscheduled shift options available, which can affect their timesheets. Unscheduled shifts are your secret weapon for last-minute emergencies when you unexpectedly need to draft an employee into work. When used correctly can be a big help to your business. 

To prevent your staff from clocking in for an unscheduled shift when they're already on the rota, we've introduced some additional settings to give you more control.  Now, as well as the option to enable or disable unscheduled shifts you can also only allow employees to clock in for an unscheduled shift if they don't already have any shifts scheduled for that day. It's all about giving you the flexibility you need.

Day View Improvements

We’ve updated Day View to make it easier to see what’s going on at a glance. Job role colours now pull through, we’ve added an indicator when viewing ‘today’ to show what time it is currently, and the interface as a whole has been streamlined to make it clearer.
