Event Log of Cancelled Shift Trades and Releases

The ability to run a report or have the information displayed in the Event Log of cancelled shift trades and releases with the details provided by the employee.

Schedule with break times included

It would be great if there were a way to print out a daily schedule that would include break times. We never shut down operation so our employees are on a break rotation. It is really difficult to keep up with the rotation if it is not already scheduled out.

Special hours tracked

We would need to have an easy way (maybe in payroll reports) to track special hours :
- night hours (hours worked between 21:00 and 6:00)
- sunday hours (hours worked on sunday)
- 2 steps of overtime 
1/ first 8 hours overtime per week (from 36 to 43)
2/ all hours above 43 hours a week 

Day length under Shiftplanning

Hi Humanity,

Our work day runs 1000-1000 not like a normal calendar 0000-0000. Can we have a feature where the day length can be changed under shiftplanning,
Thanks
 

Default Shift Timeframes

I think it would be helpful for managers to be able to set their own defaults for shift timeframes instead of having 8 hours be the only default as the system currently allows. I utilize Humanity for two different organizations, one has 6 hour shifts and another has 12 hour shifts. It would be very helpful to be able to have that default set ahead of time so that I don't have to manually edit shift times on each and every shift. 

Notification for empty shift

It would be great to have a notification for the system to notify a supervisor when a shift is not covered by a certain time or needs to be assigned.

Assigned Breaks

Hi team, 

There should be a preset a series with a break added, for example, I want to have a 630 - 3 pm shift scheduled with a 30 min break and make it into a Mon- Sunday series without adding an employee, This will certainly benefit other clients of Humanity as well.

Thank you and looking forward

 

Bulk Hours rather than start and stop time

In our Courts environment, we will have courtroom proceedings that are interrupted throughout the day.  We have a task added to most courtroom assignments to track the hours "On the Record".  Reporters are assigned to the courtroom for the day, however in their 8 hour shift, they may only be 'On the Record' for some portion of the 8 hour day.  They cannot leave and do other productive work, nor can we re-assign them until everyone is again ready.  Our challenge is to balance the on task time across the reporters group, which is why we created the task assignment.  We routinely use the cumulative task time to assign those that have less on task time to future work and those that have accumulated more on task time to less intense assignments. 
Our discovery however is that Humanity requires inputs for task time and timeclock time as start and stop times.  In the case of the task time (which is the same entry method), there will be many starts and stops through the day.  We would ask that either the start and stop time method be used, or permit the aggregate number of hours on task be added.  Our staff know how many hours they invested in being 'On the Record'.  It is just inefficient to make up a start and stop time in order to get the resulting number of hours worked.

Daily Calendar is not visible to all employees

We would like to make the daily calendar visible to all employee's. 
We understand that the daily calendar is available on the mobile app, however, we cannot insist our users use that app for business purposes, or we would be required by law to provide them a stipend for the business use of their personal device.  This would cost more than $7000 per month.
We have a policy that court reporters can request leave once they have evaluated the existing leave calendar and there is sufficient coverage. Since this varies on a day in/out basis, time of day, day of week, week of the year, having access to the dynamic calendar (updated as people make their requests) is essential to both employee and to the Managers and Schedulers.
We have all our employee's identified as 'Employee's' for security purposes.  Union rules and business process have dictated that we reduce employee access to assignments so people cannot self select or judges chambers cannot assign favorites which is a significant risk due to resource availability (65 reporters and 90 courtrooms).
We can enable the leave calendar which also enables the remaining schedule assignments, and in a union environment this becomes a point of contention so the schedule is best left hidden. 
We would therefore suggest that the leave calendar be separated out from the rest of the schedule visibility and provide a unique entry in the Settings as to whether this view should be enabled or disabled.  This would give each organization an added level of control to what people can/cannot see or have access to.

Shift Planning default start and stop times

Request for Feature Enhancement:
Our courthouse hours are 8:30am - 4:30pm which is different than the humanity default of 8am - 4pm.  Our court reporters are assigned to courtrooms where judges will hear cases.  Proceedings do not always start on time, and the start time varies by the day and sometimes by the hearing.  In working with the application, we find that the Judges chamber users rarely change the default when requesting a shift, which means the shift would start at 8am which is before staff would normally report to work.  If chambers staff know that the hearing will being at 9:30am, but fail to change the default, we have resources invested in 90 minutes of wait time which is of no value.
Our enhancement request is to do the following: Add two settings in the Shift Planning Settings: 

• The first question is to whether a default start and stop time should be set for the organization.  If no, Shift Start and Stop times have no default setting.  The fields remain required, but the user is forced to enter the specific start and stop times for the requested shift.
• If Yes, the organization can select the specific start and stop times which should appear in Shift Planning for all requested shifts.

Open Shifts Request Pick up

Hi Team Humanity,

I want to request a functionality, where if I have 'Employees cannot be scheduled on shifts within X time of each other'  set to 9 hours - The employees, still, should be able to pick up open shifts. I do not want to change 9 hours rule for the overlapping shift (please refer to screenshot: https://prnt.sc/pz7v3f) but this setting should not restrict employees for picking up open shifts. 

I hope to see this feature implemented soon.

Thank you.
 

Scheduled Start & End/Actual Start & End & GPS

Unpublish Option

It would be great to have an option where published shifts can be unpublished as well.

Report to see "Last Scheduled" for employees

We require a report to see when an employee was last scheduled - has not been scheduled to work in a while.

Permissions

Waitr dispatch drivers are living in the parent account and need to schedule drivers in the child account. They are looking for a permission type where they can schedule drivers but not be able to have access to their own schedule. There needs to be a layer between parent and child accounts. Dispatch driver will be moved to the new parent account that we create between the parent and the child accounts and give them permission to access child accounts so they can schedule drivers but cant manipulate their own schedule in the parent account as we will change their permission level to an employee.

Activation of account from app

I would like to be able to activate new accounts from the app being that my company is a mobile one

password change

I would like to be able to change passwords from the app for my employees that forget it

Justworks integration

I would like a Justworks integration for payroll please! 

Warning when about to create a duplicate position

If I try to create a position with a name that is already taken for that location, I want to be warned and given an option to change the name or continue. I have on more than one occasion created a duplicate position, and later, upon realizing my error, deleted the one that appeared lower on the list of positions, only to have cleared entire old scheduling going back years. 

Adding to my confusion, is that when I restored a deleted position, it may appear above or below the other so-named position in reports. 

I also want to be warned when deleting a position if I am about to delete a schedule that the position may be associated with. This would be a fail-safe helping to prevent the loss of important data. 

 

Blank Calendar

I'd like to print a blank calendar, build my needs then upload or input back into humanity

Choosing a Site Visit when clocking in and out

Hi,

When I set up a shift in humanity, I put all the details in it including the Remote Site. That person goes to the job and clocks in, the address is set for them. I'm now being told that when they clock in and out, they can choose an address. Why can they choose an address when it's already set up?  That makes absolutely no sense, that's the point of having a system like yours, so that they are given the remote site and they clock in and out of it so we track them and know where they are at and for how long. 
Because of this, their time sheets are messed up and I can't confirm that they were at that site.  This effects us financially if we don't know where they were at and also it take up more of my time to fix it and try to figure out why the person shows they were at the wrong place. 
I just don't understand why they can do that. It completely defeats the purpose of me scheduling jobs and using Humanity.. The point of humanity is to track the staff, how can I?

There is NO way that they do NOT have the option to choose a site? How do we fix this?

Thank you!

Total hours under Group by employee and position

It would be good to have the ability to total the hours for employees under payroll where the option "Group by employee and position" get a total of all the shifts worked in a pay period. It should total it as all the shifts worked in one place for an individual employee working on multiple positions. A new column should be a good addition to the show all the hours for multiple positions.

Custom Reports access to Scheduler

Hi Humanity,

Can we have a feature where 'scheduler - Permission Level' should be able to run/view Customer reports.

Thank you. 

Locations, positions and Skills

I think the way Humanity delineates "Location" "Position" and "Skill" tends to make more work for both employees and managers. I have some suggestions to streamline this process, as I came from using a different app that simplified this. 

As an example, let's say I have 10 restaurants ("locations"), each with 2 "positions" (Cook and Server) for the sake of simplicity. Humanity treats each position at each restaurant separately, which means I end up with 20 positions total (Cook @ Location 1, Server @ Location 1, Cook @ Location 2, etc.). It would make so much more sense for each location to offer a drop down so I actually have only 2 positions. I would assign employees to locations instead of individual positions. Let's say Jeff is a Cook. I assign him to Locations 1-5 but not 6-10. Now he can trade with any other Cook so long as the resulting shift Jeff picks up is at Locations 1-5. 

Skills should be more specialized, for example, a particular certification or training within a position. A position like Cook or Server already encompass a skill set and it seems redundant to be forced to add "skills" to delineate them. 

The way Humanity works now, Cook @ Location 1 and Cook at Location 2 are treated as different positions, which means I have to allow trading between positions in order for them to trade shifts. But this allows Cook @ Location 1 to trade with Server @ Location 2, which I want to avoid. Therefore, I'm forced to associate "Cook" skill to Cook and "Server" skill to Server, in addition to manually putting this requirement on every single shift . That's redundant and makes things terribly complicated, especially when you're dealing with 60+ shifts per week.

Humanity would be much improved if we could just assign employees to one or more locations, and the same positions across the locations weren't treated as separate positions. 

Upload file size.

It would be great if the system can allow to upload large files, that are more than 10 mb's in size.

Auto-Fill Scheduling Rules

It would be great if the auto-fill schedule fills the slots in a logical chronological order. And it should fill the slots back to back for the employees rather then shuffling them.

Auto-Fill Scheduling Rules

It would be great if the auto-fill schedule fills the slots in a logical chronological order. And it should fill the slots back to back for the employees rather then shuffling them.

Timesheet Summary Reports

Timesheets Summary Report needs to be adjusted when it is downloaded in the excel it shows start times in one column and then end times in the other column. However, when these reports are printed they are shown in a different format. The client wants the reports to be saved in excel in the same format they are shown in the preview for the print. 

Reports directly be sent to emails

It would like great to have an option where instead of downloading we can sent the generated report to an email directly.

Allow leave in Hours instead of Days

Allow leave time to be broken down into hours instead of days.  Because we have multiple different shifts our leave time is accrued into hours instead of days.

Alphabetical order in schedule overview.

It would be great if the positions in schedule overview can be sorted in an alphabetical order on the mobile app.

User Password Restrictions

Please consider removing the user password restriction that prevents the use of sequential values. We planned for our passwords to be a unique 9-digit number, which is certainly sufficient in terms of security, but I'm unable to use it for at least one employee because the password parameters are too strict. 

example of intended use, 8002805671

Multi-select shifts to delete

There should be a method to multi select shifts in shiftplanning and then delete them all at once. 

Example: From 10 shifts for employee, I would like to delete 1-2 shifts from 2 weeks for 60+ employees hence there should be a way to cherry pick these shifts. 

Drag and Drop

I want a drag and drop feature that can work throughout all staff members. For example, if I wanted to move someone's 9-10am shift to another person, instead of clicking the checkbox saying to assign them or unassign them, just dragging shifts to different people. When I Work does this, and that makes it SO much easier to schedule people than clicking checkmarks.

Hide Employee Names that are assigned on Shifts

 I would like to know the hours for shifts schedule at a certain location withour the employee who are currently working those shifts. Its for privacy reasons

There should be a functionality that should allow us to hide the names for printing/sharing purposes.

Shift un-acknowledgement option to restrict

Michelle Reeves (Main Admin) would like to have an option added so that employees should not be able to un-acknowledge shifts after they have been acknowledged. Reason being -  employees unacknowledged shifts later on and refuse to work and say they had already informed by un-acknowledging shifts. This is causing issues and we need to have an option so that employees should not be able to un-acknowledge shifts once they have acknowledged already. 

Thanks.

keep track of their last minute call-ins

There should be a way to differentiate and track last minute call ins within Humanity without having to do it manually. 

Vehicle check off sheets / assign a truck number

It would be great if i could assign a truck number to my crews and have a sheet that they had to check off at the start of their shifts.

Tutorials Menu

I would like the ability to hide the Tutorial Menu at the bottom left of the screen as it hides information on every page and then we have to zoom out the screen which makes the text size very small to read.

Print Training report status

We would like to see a way to print a list of who has completed the online training and who has done what percentage of completion?

Detailed PTO report

I would like to request that the ability to see the dates and/or times in the vacation reports for PTO/UPTO, maybe add a separate report for when you need more detailed information.  I have an employee who says they had multiple dates that were denied for PTO requests, but while trying to research, I can only see that they were denied and how many hours, not what days they were denied. It makes it very hard to find answers for them.  Since we are a larger client database, it is very hard to use the event logs to try to find info about them.

Make Changelog available.

I love all the work that Humanity puts into constantly improving the software! Thank you!

Sometimes a change happens that comes as a bit of a surprise and we have to adjust how we are doing things in response to the change. Other times new features or changes happen but I don't even know about them, so can't take advantage of them.

I would really appreciate a changelog being made available so that I can understand what changes have taken place and how we might use or change with them. These should include even small things since even minor fixes can have a significant impact on our operations.

"Removed from shift" notification

In the last 48 hours, my staff started getting this notification that is causing problems. When I reject a request for a shift, they are getting the notification "you have been removed from XXX shift" (with XXX being the shift that they requested). 

This is both inaccurate, confusing, and causing a bit of chaos. They DO need that notification when I remove them from a shift that they have previously been assigned to. However, when being rejected from a shift that they requested (but have never been assigned to), the notification should read "you have been rejected for XXX shift".

We publish upwards of 100 shifts a week... my staff will either panic or start to ignore the "removed from shifts" notifications!

Please either stop these notifications for shift rejections, or make the notification accurate to have them say "you've been rejected".

Uploading a video directly

Hi Dev, 

It would be nice if we can upload the video directly in the Training Topic rather then via YouTube as it does matter if we do not want to share our nature of business due to confidentiality reasons. 

I hope this will be considered in the future releases of the application. Looking forward to that. Thank you. 

Block dates for leave for specific employees

There should be an option to block leave dates for specific employees/permission level/departments/positions within Humanity as for some departments, the workload may not allow them to book a time off and not for others.

Request for multi position leave management filter

I manage 24X7 ops at two locations giving me a total of 7 "positions".  In leave management, my only options are to view all requests for all positions in all locations that comprise the GSMO operations or I can select only one position at a time.  It would be very beneficial to have the option to select all positions I manage so I can address all of my team's requests and not have to work my way through multiple pages of other managers' requests.  If additional clarification is needed, please do not hesitate to ask.

Shift Release for Overlapping Shifts

There should be a setting to enable "Release" for Overlapping Shifts. 

Example: 

Employee A has a shift from 8 AM till 4 PM. 
Employee B has a shift from 4:30 PM till 11 PM. 

Both the employees should be able to Release the shifts to one another and this setting should have a manager approval option as well (In-case we would like to enable this or not). 

Custom Permission Level

I want a Custom Permission Level, where a staff member can be scheduled on a shift, able to view all the shifts/schedules but should not be able to make any modifications to the shifts. 

Birthdays Over the Dashboard

Hi team,

Can we please create an option where we can view Employee's birthday weekly, bi-weekly and month-wise? This will certainly benefit other clients of Humanity as well.

Thank you and looking forward 
Lisa Norkunas

Employee Preview of unpublished shifts

It would be useful to allow some members of staff the ability to preview (but not change) an schedule before it is published.

Auto-Fill Schedule improvement

We need to have the possibility to create a rule which schedules employees who work one week morning shifts, to work afternoon shifts next week.

Auto-Fill Schedule improvement

We need to have the possibility to create a rule where employees work 5 days one week and 6 days next week. I currently do a fortnight schedule where this is how they are scheduled.

Auto-Fill Schedule improvement

We need to have the possibility to create a rule which rosters a staff each alternate Sundays.

Leave for 2020

Hello,

We are currently having lots of confusion with leave for 2020.

We have created a leave time for 2020. People have then requested leave for 2020 dates and this have been approved however once approved it is not being taken off their allowance for 2020.

Please could you look into this feature being added. As people are thinking they have more leave left for 2020 when they haven't.


Thanks 

Abby

Breaks on daily schedule print outs.

Please update the print options so that the scheduled breaks are able to be seen on the printed version of a daily position view.  This will allow supervisors the ability to have the breaks already planned out for them, ensure that all team members are getting their appropriate breaks, as well as save time with setting up the day for supervisors.  

Shift Sign Up Approval Process

We would like to have the following process implemented.

When a new shift is posted to the employees to sign up for they would be able to see that the shift is not yet approved.
If it is approved they will see themselves added to the schedule by the Administrator.
If NOT approved, they will receive a notification that the shift is not available for them to sign up for and that shift is then rereleased to the rest of the employees to sign up if they would like.

Remote Site linkage with Shifts

If we create a shift and it has a remote site attached to it, the time-sheet does not automatically have the remote-site attached to it when an employee clocks in and out.

Enabling the setting "Timeclock must-have remote site set" only asks the employee to select a remote site without automatically selecting a remote site, which can cause inconvenience. The system should automatically pick the remote site from the shift when assigned and published before employee clocks in.

Employees releasing Shifts for other Employees

The employees should have access to add the release or trade requests on behalf of other Employees.

Allow staff to send a request to add a punch

Instead of just sending a message, when a staff member misses  clock in, or clock out, allow them the option of selecting the appropriate punch time, and send it to payroll administrator to approve.  This would then add the punch in, and take the burden off the payroll administrator to read email, then go to record to add it in.  Huge timesaver and puts the responsibility on the staff member who neglected to punch in correctly, 
Janie

View Leave while employee can't view all schedule

While the options "Employees can view all schedules" and "Employees can see shifts assigned to staff of the same position" have been disabled, the employees can not view the leave for other employees even if the option "Employee can see co-workers vacations" is enabled. They can only see the leave schedule via the mobile app. 

There should be a way for the employees to view the leave via the desktop version of the application as well.

Time clock - Lone worker safety

Hi Dev, 

I would like to share a feature request and it is for the those employees who are actually working along or in the remote sites "Lone Worker Safety". 

There should be a functionality where an update of an employee is provided after every hour. For more information, please have a look into this: 

https://www.roadpost.ca/work-alone-safety-solutions

Please do conenct with me if further information is needed in this regard. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you. 

View of schedule

I would really appreciate a monthly calendar that could place the employee working and their shift into a cell for each day of the month.  The weekly schedule that can be printed out has limitations. Even a two week calendar option to print out with date cells would be better. The other department I manage the department secretary manually enters staff onto a generic monthly calendar and that is what I am looking for. 

Notes

When adding notes to an already scheduled shift. we should be able the notes without having to go into each shift and add them. also when updating notes.
It would also be nice to if the hours change to repeat the changes of the hours on an all ready set schedule

Reject Shifts with option to send a reason

It would be very useful to be able to reject a requested shift and send a written reason to the employee in response to go along with the rejection.

Text notifications (All details sent via text)

I want to be able to send a large text to all employees in our Humanity system. There should be an option to send out messages from Humanity to employee's cell phone as text sms directly without any character limits at all. 

Time Sheet Late Summary Report

The driver works a double absent on 2nd shift. The driver forgets to clock out of 2nd shift and or works straight through. They are paid correctly. The driver needs to be marked present for 2nd shift. Breaks can be 30 mins or an hour between shifts. Change the logic of marking somebody present for a shift if they clocked in more than half.

Allow Mobile TimeClock access to limited position

I wanted to allow employees at in a specific location to or position tp clock in through their mobile app.

However I'd like restrict this access at our main office and have it set up to only clock in on specific terminals.
 

This feature would be very useful 

Add the "Year" Not Just the "Day and Month"

In each profile under overview to the right for "recent shifts" the year needs to be added not just the day and month because there is no way for us to tell if it is current year or 2 years ago.

Bulk Disable employees.

I should be able to bulk Disable the employees.
This is something that should be made highly possible because for the most part companies disable more than they would delete. 

Excel export without $

When exporting reports to Excel, it comes across as "$123.45" With the leading '$', Excel does not recognize this as a number and makes totalling columns, sorting by #, or using any formulas impossible unless I go in and manually remove the '$' before every entry. Seems like an easy fix to end a lot of frustration.

Sort Payroll Reports by Column

This should be a pretty easy addition, but I would like  the ability to sort my payroll reports by column so I could sort my reports in different orders (sort by Department, Overtime Hours, Employee ID, Employee Name, etc.). 

Need custom column on Timesheet

Hello-
We need a custom column on our Timesheet.  This will be the employee number that our Payroll Provider assigns to each employee.

At this time we have 5-10 Humanity accounts with upwards of 1600+ employees.  Currently in order to include the providers employee number after we have downloaded the timesheets into a spreadsheet format they use, we have to do a cumbersome VLOOKUP to be able to pull that number into the spreadsheet.  By adding this column to the timesheet already, (we can enter the number when we set up each new employee)it will save us so much processing time.  Our motto going forward is WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER. :)

I found where I could add a custom item on the employee profile, I made the addition on one of our Humanity accounts to see how it flowed thru but did not realize that it doesn't show up on the timesheet, I contacted customer support thru the CHAT feature and they let me know this is the only way to get a new feature added to the timesheet.

The sooner this can be added would really be great!  

Thank you in advance for this consideration.

Option to select dates while Printing Schedule

Hi Dev, 

I would like to bring this to your attention that there is no option to select the a specific time line with in ShiftPlanning nor in the Print mode. 

That is one serious flaw with in the ShiftPlanning which is the core module of this whole applicaiton and make it kind of lacking behind her competitors. 

Hopefully, a filter will be added where the specific timeline can be selected in order to view and print the schedule and I can assure you that not only this will make it more user-friendly but other clients of yours will like it as well. 

I hope this will be considered in the upoming releases of the application. Looking forward to that. Thank you. 

Confidentiality

My understand is that *any* staff member has visibility of *all* other staff members shifts if they have visbility of the location that other staff member works at.

I propose that this visibity is an option set globally per employee type (Managers should be able to for example) the option should be either they *can* or they *can't* see all other staff and the locations/positions they are working at with an additional option to allow them to see staff who are sharing a shift with them at the same location.



 

Schedule Delete Option

While dealing with larger groups of employees it is pretty easy to copy schedule from the previous week, but if an employee has time off or if individual shifts need to be deleted. We need to go into their
position and individually cater to those shifts which can be time-consuming.

I am suggesting a feature to be considered having in the future is a way to highlight a section of shifts you want to be removed and deleting them all in one click. If possible, I would like to see this option in future if there is a possibility to add it. Thanks! 
 

Schedule Break Report

It would be great to have a way to see when my staff are suppose to take a break in a table or a graph.

Also include the ability to print this where it will show the brakes on it as well. Simple report listed by employee, start time, brake times and end times would be really helpful.

 

Limiting the Employee's Leave Request Setting

I am looking to have a customized leave setting where we can limit the employee's leave request and adjust their off days.

For example, a situation where an employee requests a week of leave from Monday through Friday and they do not work on Tuesday or Thursday. Humanity could have an option to automatically just put them in off on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and skip the days they are not scheduled to work. This option would be a huge help with the customization and leave request approvals not for our business but for a lot of other your clients having the similar requirements.

 Thank you! 

Remove Time

Hello,
I would like to have the ability to remove clock out times as a "Manager" since sometimes my staff clock out instead using the break button by mistake. I want to able to reopen their timesheet so they can clock out at the end of their shift like normal where right now I have to edit their clock out time manually.

messaging

can read notifications be sent or at least noted on the message? it would be good to know staff at least read a message even if they did not respond

Auto Populate shifts with skills

I want to add skills to each shift and create a template to then have shift planning auto populate the schedule with the skills. 

Unable to pull Reports

Why aren't managers able to pull reports with details that are listed and used in the employee profile, such as "Employment Type".

It's only logical that managers would require lists of staff that work Full-Time, Part-Time, etc

Automate Publishing OPEN Shifts

Is it possible to set an automatic publishing option instead of having to manually publish shifts?
We would like to be able to seta specific time each week of when overtime shifts are available for employees to sign up for.
For example every Monday at 845am Humanity automatically publishes any OPEN Overtime shifts for the following work week.

Adding more Position Colors

Hey Dev, 

I am submitting the feature request for the past 1 and a half years and still doing it. 

I want more colors to be added for the positions as currently, the 40 shades are not sufficient and certainly do no serve the purpose if the number of positions is more than 40, where you want every position to be of a different color code.

It is quite frustrating and you should have the courtesy to update the client with the progress on the request, rather than us wandering in the dark, with no prior information. 

I hope this will be considered in the future release or at least an update will be provided. Looking forward to that.
Thank you.  

Shared Files per shift

It would be very handy to be able to assign a shared file directly within a Shift. In the shift, if I could directly upload and share a file with the assigned staff, that would be easier than uploading hundreds of documents on my end and then assigning them for a specific employee, especially since these shifts are one-offs and the shared document is no longer relevant after the shift is over. 

In general, while I understand Humanity probably doesn't want to host a ton of files, it would be super useful for my staff to be able to access the documents they need for the shift, right through the shift information itself rather than having to sift through their shared files. It would also save me a ton of time during the scheduling process. 
Thanks!

Pop-up windows in training

I would like a cancel button ot close (X) button in the pop-ups for the completion of the training. Sometimes I simply want to see what's there, and not have to back page to get out of it.  

Trade request expiration

Many times when an employee requests a trade, there will be one or two employees who don't even respond, which keeps the request open until I manually cancel it. It would be great to have a feature that automatically expires a trade request after like 48, 72 hours, etc. 

Advanced Search and empty shifts

Hello team.

When I choose f.ex. 10 employees using the advanced search, I need to see all the empty shifts as well because I want to divide the shifts to those 10 employees that I have selected.It is harder to divide the shifts between those 10 if I see all employees. it would be great if you could provide that filter. 
Thanks a lot. 
Margrét 

Hide Empty Shifts

Hello Team,

Is it possible to make the empty shift column invisible from the ShiftPlanning Schedule overview? This will certainly benefit other clients of Humanity as well.

Thank you

Report of Shift Requests

Hi Dev, 

We require a report of Shift Requests which is organized by individual
shift and states which employee has requested to work that shift. We assign
our employees to shifts at the end of the month for the following month and
the current "request to work" page as well as clicking into individual
shifts on the ShiftPlanning page are not effective or efficient for our
a large number of shifts and employees.

Ideally, this report would be organized by Shift Date and Time and would
include the following information:

- Date
- Hours
- Position
- Title/Notes
- Employee(s) Requested to Work

Can you please create this report? I'd be happy to supply any additional
information or answer any questions you have in order to make this
possible. The sooner we can get this report option, the better.


Thank you. 

Report for Time Clock Edits

We require a report that we can run to show us all of the time-clock edits within a certain time-frame. The event log gives me more information than needed and given that I am looking to run this report weekly, I am looking for only time-clock edits and which time-sheet was edited and by who.

Setting Availability effectiveness by Dates

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an option where the management has the chance to set the availability effectiveness as per specific dates or time periods rather than just selecting the number of days. 

Cuz I had some employees set their availability the night b4 saying not available 8:30am shift and everyone is asleep and then they were like oh well I put not available so I didn't show up. 

I hope this will be considered and added in the future releases of the application. Looking forward to that. Thank you
 

TIPPED EMPLOYEE

Please add "TIPPED" to drop down menu "PAY TYPE" in edit details.
Thank you!

Timezone option as a Regular Field

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an option where the field "Timezone" is added under the Regular Fields filter when the employees are being viewed under the "Custom View". 

The Custom Field workaround is not very helpful as it will not accommodate the situation because it will take a lot of time to fill in those fields, and once one of the agents travels to a different country, it becomes invalid.

I hope I was able to elaborate on the scenario and if further information is required, please feel free to connect. I hope this will be considered in the upcoming releases of the application. 

Looking forward to that. Thank you!

print all confirmed timesheets

It would be amazing if we could print all confirmed timesheets without having to select each employee, click print report, then click print for every employee one at a time.

Just let us print confirmed time sheets and have them separated alphabetically.

Thank you

Shiftplanning List View to Show the Location Name

Team, 

We would like to have an improvement in the shift-planning list view. 

We want the location names to show up under the shift details, currently, the information on the shift includes the name of the position, shift title, and shift timing. We would like the location name to also show up, as we have similar positions under multiple locations, this will make it easier for us to see on which location the shift is created. Thanks!  

Automatic Leave Request if employee Unacknowledges

Can we get an option to have a leave request automatically generated for a staff person if they mark that they "Cannot Attend" a shift? That would save us a ton of hassle chasing down staff (we are dealing with 80+ college students) to submit a leave request in addition to already having to stay on them about acknowledging/unacknowledging their shifts to begin with. 

Thanks in advance for your consideration!

Staff List

When working in the staff list for updates and what not, it would be nice that when you return to the main list that you are brought back where you left off instead of back at the top.  It's quite a pain.  :)

Budget Mode autopopulate

Hello Dev team!
Currently we are using "positions" as locations of different customers. Each customer has a different budget for labor. If I wanted to use the budget feature, it makes sense, however if I have over 200 "positions" and it takes 2 minutes to load the budget for the week for each location, it would take almost 4 hours to enter the budget weekly. It would make more sense to have the budget auto-populate week after week until it is altered.  I appreciate the consideration.

Change in payrate on the payroll reports

Hi Dev, 

I am trying to change an employee's hourly rate from today on. Is there a way to make that change in the middle of a pay period that will allow for two hourly rates in one pay period? From what I understand that if we change an hourly rate that change will not only affect reports going forward, but it will update that rate going back in history. I would hope that reports would show a rate change if that possible.

Please do connect back if further information is needed. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you

Historical Hourly Pay Data

When changing an employee's hourly pay/data, it changes all previous data to the new rate, rather than keeping the old rate. Being able to select an effective date, or multiple columns for rates valid during those times.

Custom Reports Column Grouping

Being able to group together columns in custom reports would be nice.

Such as grouping days instead of seeing values for each employee when selecting confirmed time sheets. More so of a total labor cost for each day.

Overtime Weekend Guidelines

Our employees are M-F and we post overtime for the weekends. We would like to be able to have a cut off time  of every Friday at 12pm for the overtime sign ups for that weekend (Saturday and Sunday). Once 12pm on Friday hits they can no longer sign up for any open overtime shifts on Saturday and Sunday.

Report Functions

Is it possible to include the timestamp of when an employee picks up a shift in the report column?

I know if I click on the shift itself and scroll to shift history i can see who created the shift and when as well as the date/time the employee signed up for the shift. 

It would be very helpful to gather this data.

Force Notifications at the USER level

I would like to request a change or more flexibility with force notifications. Currently there is only an option to force ALL email notifications for ALL employees. I would like to either pick and choose which ones to force, which ones not to force. Also if we can turn this off and on per user that would be most helpful for managing less-compliant staff as well as respecting compliant staff by not inundating them with reminders. Example - Do NOT force push emails to all, but force push specific reminders to employees who have proven less compliant with their time-keeping.
Thanks in advance!

Read Receipt on Messaging

Hello. Our feature request for the Humanity App would be the ability to send out a message with a read receipt, either to individual users or groups. This would allow management the ability to see who has read the message.

The reason being, in our industry (mining) we can have geotechnical events that could mitigate the need for any operators to report to work the next shift. Were we to send a message requiring read receipt notification, we'd be able to gauge how much (if any) of our operating workforce would be likely to show up in event of a message indicating work cancellation. Due to constraints in our CBA, it is in our interest to be aware who would show for work unnecessarily. 

Assigned Stat Holidays

I would like the option to designate specific days as stat holidays so that when payroll is done, anyone working shifts on those days automatically get paid the appropriate rate of 1.5x.

Ability to Change PTO from days available to Hours

My company uses non traditional schedules and we give out a pool of hours they can use.  They can use those hours to leave early or report late while using PTO and having it approved.  Right now there is no way to track the hours used for each PTO request they enter.

Partial Shift Trades and Partial Open Shifts

It would be a great feature to allow employees to trade any part of their shift.  My company is 24/7 with non traditional schedules.  The work around provided is just as cumbersome of receiving an email from both employees stating they accept the partial shift trade.  It would be nice to have it follow the same format of shift trades that is built in Humanity.

This also goes for Open Shifts. I have employees who can work part of an available open shift but not the full shift.  The employee currently has to  message me and state they can work it whatever part of it but there it defeats the purpose of creating open shifts.
 

OPTION/FEATURE TO DISABLE CANCEL REQUESTS

Please open a feature to disable where people can't cancel requests without managers approval. We are running into multiple occurrences of this and it creates a lot of confusion and added work. You allow manager approval for requests; please do so for cancellations. Applying this as a feature that admin/management can use or choose not to, would allow each company who uses this program to choose what would best fit their companies needs. 

Restrict schedulers from editing timesheets

That would be great if we could restrict Schedulers/Employees from editing time clocks for their assigned positions under Profile Permissions

Hours of operation.

Hey Humanity team,

It would be great to have the ability to change the view of hours on shift planning.
What I mean by this is operation time. I have wasted space during the position view ie: the range of 1 am - 8 am takes up space that always sits blank. This problem is made worse when I have more than one window up. Currently, the view compresses hours together wasting valuable workflow space. Hoping a solution can be implemented by selecting an option like " Hours of operation" or in a restaurant "Morning prep" "Store Open" "close downtime" "Store Closed". 

Hope a solution may be implemented. 

Best Regards. 

Business Closed

Hello,

I'd like the ability to block entire days from shift planning. For example, if my particular business is closed on a certain day, I'd like there to be a feature where I can block that day off (not just employee by employee). Requested in order to prevent me from accidentally assigning a shift to someone on an off day. The notes help but a notification sort of like the one that is given when employees are on leave and/or unavailable and are accidentally assigned a shift. Hope this helps!

Message inbox and Message Wall

Currently (when communication modules are enabled) any employee can go in and easily send a message to all employees in an entire region. The same is true for posts added to the message wall.
Employee and scheduler communications should be limited to only the positions they have access to.

Group By Employees in Leaves

Hi Dev,

I was looking to see if there was a way to group employees. For example, I have my permanent staff and temp hires for the holiday season. I would like to be able to separate them and only view temp or only view permanently. 

I would appreciate if filters are introduced in the Leaves so that the categorization can be done and please do connect back if further information is required. 

Looking forward to that. Thank you. 

Delete Shift Templates

That would be great if we could have an option to remove shift templates while being in the new shift creation mode.

Only Payroll can edit

I have 15 stores and i would like to have it where managers can write schedules. However to keep the worked shift true. I would like it if only my payroll department can do the edits them self. I'm finding that the managers are changing worked hours to protect certain employees. This is a concern for our business. This feature will be imperative to keeping service with Humanty. 

Thank you

Please make the same features available on iPhones

Please make the same features available on iPhones as are on Androids. Most of our company uses iphones and so when we send a message or a link through the message option of humanity, it is a problem when an employee isn't able to open it.

Please fix this so we don't have to seek a different platform.

Auto Fill Open Slots based on Request to Work

I would like to be able to utilize the auto fill feature to assign individuals to open slots they have requested to work in a tiered system.

Background: 

• We staff a variety of shifts with odd hours (no rhyme or reason to client requests).
• We staff these shifts with individuals who have varying availability and desire to sign up for the open slots available.
• Staff don't use availability. They request individual open slots.
• We have three tiers of staff who receive priority in a set order.  For example, a member of our staff would be tier 1 and a contractor would be tier 2. If both individuals requested to work an open slot, we would want preference to go to tier 1. 
• Within each tier, shifts are first come first serve

Goal:

• Assign staff to tiers.
• Allow staff to request open shifts.
• Utilize Auto Fill or a similar feature to assign individuals to shifts utilizing the tiers and internal to the tiers time of request. 

Nuances: 

• We cannot use auto approval due to the tiers
• We cannot utilize the current Auto-Fill based on availability as individuals can choose what they would like to request.

Leave Reminder - Notification to Schedulers

A notification to be sent to all Schedulers & Mamagers on the start of a staff leave (1 day prior) and the end of a staff leave (1 day prior) - To help make necessary resource allocation arrangements effectively.

Add 'START/STOP TASK' OPTION

This option would help any task assigned staff can easily approach and informed by simple clicking of START/STOP TASK button option with multples of tasks/assigned areas/Locations. Easily identified whatever relocations happens on shift

Trend Analysis

It would be good to have a trend analysis of the Number of Absenses, Pattern of Absenses, Shift with most absenses. Same goes for shift swaps.

Leave Accrual

Leave roll over option allowing untaken leaves be carried forward to the next year (with limit option)

Leave Reset option for every year

Providing a leave reset option when creating a new leave type whereby the chosen leave would reset to a pre-specified number of days at the specified date.

Manager Can create customized permission templates

Manager should be able to create a customized permission template with the ability to specify the exact priviliges. Currently, the manager can only choose from the existing permission levels

Add attachment request option when creating new le

When creating a new leave type, having an add attachment option which allows us to make it mandatory for employees to upload the attachment when applying for a specific leave type (eg: having to upload a sick note when applying for a sickleave through Humanity)

Leave Salary option for Annual Leave

To add boxes to check off whether staff will opt for leave salary or not for the annual leave applied for:
Leave Salary
☐ Required for the period __________________
☐ Not required

Access Task assignment from Mobile devices

we can start any task assigned to staff from the website only, much better to have it from app as well

Swap to approve by staff and the final approval fr

when staff request for Trade, it will be from staff to manager then the final approval by the other staff

Reason for Late Clock In & Early Clock Out

Reason for Late Clock In & Early Clock Out to be recorded at Clock In & Clock Out: 
Field to be added for Clock In & Clock Out in mobile devices, wherein a reason for being late or leaving early can be entered - To be linked with Shift start and end for validation. This should be possible because the system does know when the staff is late to work. This will avoid Schedulers needing to add notes after the end of the shifts by asking the staff for the reason.

we would like the system to prompt a reason request for Early/late clock-ins and clock outs whereby we can see the reason for the irregular attendance

Annual Leave Policy (Calendar Day vs Workng Days)

We should have an option to select between Calendar Days and Working Days when creating a new leave type. Whereby Calendar Days would include employee's scheduled days off and be considered as part of the applied leave. On the other hand, Working Day Policy would exclude any scheduled off days from the leave application and only working days scheduled would be considered as part of the applied leave. For Example: Calendar Days; a 30 day leave application would be exactly 30 days from the date applied, whereas under a working day system a 30 day leave application would give the applicant a 34-38 day leave from the application date since the off days are not considered part of the applied leave

Shift Swap Requests

when staff asks for shift swaps they should automatically be shown the available swaps for the same date they chose. As for example, sometimes staff swap shifts for the 1st of OCT with the 30th of SEP. It should always be a swap for the same day

Phone app to show schedules separated by dates

The phone application shows the schedules for all dates without any clear separators. (1st October and 2nd October Schedules are shown on top of each other without any bold line separators or color coding between dates such as 1st OCT shown in Green, 2nd OCT show in Grey, 3rd OCT shown in Green, followed by grey and so on

Reports to show

Attendance compared to schedule, Number of times staff were late, which shift has the most total early minutes, total late minutes, Leaves, Sick leave patterns

Leave Schedule Display for all employees

A specific leave calendar option to be displayed to all employees as well as the managers in order to allow employees and managers to view the available and vacant spots to assist with leave management. The leave calendar would show all the taken or booked leaves, Vacant days, etc. and all the team members would have access

Team Creation

An option to create teams that can also be changed as required such as removing a staff member from a team would remove him/her from all shifts assigned to their team. Similarly, when adding a new employee to an existing team, they will be automatically assigned to all the team's existing shifts from the date added. If possible, also allowing members to be part of teams within specified periods and then shifted and so on
