Break Start Time on 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!

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.
