Roster Manager and Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Display of overtime warnings in shift tiles and Alert Panel

We’ve improved the consistency of the overtime warning display in Roster Manager and Template Manager, so it displays consistently in shift tiles and the Alerts Panel. This removes the need to open the shift edit window to see overtime warnings, increasing rostering efficiency.

Performance optimisation for Bulk Unassign, Bulk Delete and Role view

Bulk Unassign and Bulk Delete actions in Roster Manager have been optimised to execute more efficiently, contributing to faster completion of rostering when working with shifts in bulk. 

We've also made further speed improvements in the Role view by rendering shifts more efficiently, helping your rostering team locate and manage shifts faster.

More flexibility to import Templates with invalid break dates

With this change, you can import Roster Templates with invalid break dates (which might be caused by legacy template data) into Roster Manager. By using the shift dates instead of break dates, this change gives you more flexibility.

New shift error alert: Before Employee’s Start Date

We’ve introduced a new shift error alert to flag when a template import has created a shift for an employee before their start date. The shift appears with an error icon and tooltip Before Employee's Start Date to help explain that this shift exists before the employee is due to start work.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

Improved consistency of alerts with Roster Manager

This update improves consistency across Roster Manager and Template Manager for roster alerts. The Employee role qualification alert is now fully implemented so that the Restrictive option (to trigger an error rather than a warning), and also the Employee Must/Must Not have qualification behaviour is now in place.

Leave Management

Management > Availability > Leave Approvals

Strengthened permissions for leave changes in past pay periods

We’ve strengthened permissions so users can only unauthorise and/or delete leave in past pay periods if they have both the Allow edits within elapsed pay period and Un-authorise or delete leave in the past permissions enabled. This ensures consistent control over past-period leave changes, preventing unintended alterations outside defined pay periods.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets

Timestamps stored in UTC to strengthen Timesheet data consistency and usability

To ensure consistent, accurate time data across time zones, we’ve changed the way timestamps that capture when a Timesheet was Authorised and Modified are stored. These timestamps are now stored in UTC and automatically converted to the user’s local time for display, improving accuracy and use of the data in Workforce Analytics, auditing, and integrations.

REST API

Integrations > REST API

Updates to role revisions and payslips for terminated employees

We’ve removed restrictions that prevented updates to role revisions and payslips for terminated employees via REST API. This allows to perform necessary adjustments for employees terminated within a pay period, ensuring accurate payroll processing.
