Product Updates

Your team can now clock in and out via designated portals on site, instead of having to use their phones. This is designed to make Shiftie more accessible, as well as helping to prevent employees from forgetting to clock in.
To find out more, or to get a new portal set up, check out our handy user guides.

When printing your schedule you can choose whether to include any unpublished shifts as well, helping to customise it to your team's needs.

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.

We’ve introduced a new permission level to make it easier to manage access to your Shiftie account. The new Team Manager role has the same permissions as Schedule Manager, plus the ability to manage documents, timeclock, team, leave, and job roles.

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.

We've tidied up the schedule! If you have more than one type of unassigned or open shift set up for a day they’ll now stack one on top of the other to save space. Clicking on the top one will display all the others, as well as giving you the option to add more.

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. Going forward, unscheduled shifts will automatically end after 12 hours if they aren't stopped before, with the timesheet defaulting back to a 1-hour shift, ready for you to edit as required.

You can now bulk assign leave approvers and set public holidays on the Leave tab in the Team section, saving you time when managing your employees.

Are your employees in a perpetual state of amnesia about their shifts? Fear not, we've now added pre-shift reminders that'll make your team's life easier. Now, you can effortlessly schedule shift reminders to grace your employees' inboxes before their shifts begin. Want to give 'em a nudge 15 minutes, 2 hours, or 12 hours ahead of time? We've got you covered on all fronts.

Simply head on over to your settings, click on notifications, and voila, you'll find this option ready and waiting to be set up. Say goodbye to shift no-shows.

You can now assign employees to schedules instead of locations and view multiple locations on the same schedule, giving you more ways of configuring your rotas and making it easier to keep track of your team.

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.

Any location restrictions you’ve set for clocking in will now apply when your team clock out, too. This helps to prevent employees from clocking out when they’ve already left the site.

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.

Plagued with a dodgy internet connection? Fear not; you’re now able to download the day view as a CSV to serve as a backup for emergencies.

Say goodbye to frantically Googling timezones; if you have team members who work in different parts of the world from the one you’ve set against your Shiftie account then they’ll be shown the company timezone next to the time clock.

When viewing the time clock overview you’ll now be able to see when your team members went on break, and how long they’re expected to be gone for. Much better when you're waiting for an employee to return before you can take your own break!

Managers can clock employees in and out of their scheduled shifts from the time clock page, making it easier to keep timesheets up to date.

Job role colour coding will now show when you print your schedule, as well as on the online version.

The system will now remember the day or week you’ve been viewing in the schedule, so if you navigate away and come back it will default to what you were looking at. You can still click the ‘Today’ button to return to the current week, as well.

You can now set timesheets to automatically be approved if they meet your specifications, saving valuable admin time.
