Product Updates

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Say goodbye to the stress of last-minute schedule changes! With Shiftie’s schedule bulk updates feature, you can easily select multiple shifts at once and apply updates across all of them in a single action. Whether you need to adjust times, tags, or notes, this feature streamlines the process, saving you valuable time and reducing the risk of errors. Keep your team on track effortlessly while maintaining a clear, accurate schedule, even when plans change at the last minute.

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.

Employees can now share their pronouns, helping teams communicate with respect and confidence. By removing guesswork and misassumptions, everyone feels valued, helping create a happier and more inclusive workplace.

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.

Auditing absences just got easier with the new absence report. Quickly view a list of employee absences across your chosen date range, with handy filters for team members, locations, or groups. Once you’ve refined the data, simply export the report to share it with your HR team in just a few clicks.
