Welcome to Humanity's Community!

Who submitted leave request in details

When reviewing a leave request and the details, I would like to see who created the leave request. That way if I have any questions about it, I can go to the person who created it (who is not always the person taking the leave).

Customized leave notifications for managers

I would like to select which managers/schedules receive leave notifications based on their permissions. I don't want to receive leave notifications for every workgroup. I only want to receive notifications for the positions I manage.

Mileage Tracking

I would like my employees to be able to input daily mileage, per client, and have it show up in the Payroll section so I may bill clients for said miles.

For the USA -- W2 or 1099 classification for staff

I'm doing the year-end reporting on our W2 staff and our 1099 staff.  However, there is nowhere to classify staff as a W2 or 1099 staff.  I can classify them as seasonal or part-time, which is what all our staff are, but some get a W2 and some a 1099, dependent on what type of work they are hired to do.  Once we classify a staff as part-time, we need to also classify them as a W2 or 1099 for year-end reporting, so we know who to send the W2s to, and who to send 1099s to.

The selection of w2 or 1099 could be under the "Edit Details" tab, or under the "Payroll" tab.  However, it has to be showing on the Year-end payroll report, and we need to be able to select to run a W2 report or a 1099 report.  This type of report is also needed for the Workman's Comp Audit done at end of each year.

This would really help us in the USA with employee classification for year-end reporting.

Thanks.   

API or export for event log

It would be great to have an API endpoint for the event log, or at the very least an export function. We'd like to audit time clock approvals and having access to the event log through the API would make that very simple to manipulate the data however we need

Separate timeclock and scheduling permissions

It would be great to have more granular control for Schedulers between shift planning and time clock.

We'd like our schedulers to be able to manage the schedule for staff they have assigned to them, as well as their own position, but not be able to modify their own time clocks or their staffs - in our case only Supervisors and above should be allowed to modify time clocks.

the 30 minutes increment for OT rule.

I would like to set up OT over 7.5 hour of work, but it's not option right now.
We have to make change manually every day. It's a pain.

Integrating with Payroll software

Hi we currently use Patriot software, is there any way we could add them to the export list for payroll.?

Remote work sites should be visible

At the moment we copy remote locations in Notes section.
Generic term like "Home Office" is a remote work site but it doesn't warrant entering every employees home address for shiftplanning.

Just knowing they are in home office is sufficient. Colleagues should also be able to see who is working in home office. Obliging employees to open a map to see a remote location is misleading and cumbersome.

Best case would be if remote work site could be seen when hovering on the icon with the mouse (as per screenshot):

Access to disabled employees

I am wondering if on the mobile application, I can get option in which I can access my disabled employees within staff tab and I want their contact details to be hyperlinked. 

Add Holiday Pay

Hello,

It would be greatly beneficial is Humanity could automatically calculate paid holidays. This would best be included in the payroll settings and then Managers could enter which holidays are paid, the holiday rate, and so forth.

Leave request feature - MULTIREQUEST

Hello,
Would it be possible to do several request on the same time for one employee. for the moment we can only ask from date 1 to date 2, and send the request. Below you can see how I would prefer to have our leave request system. Is there any chance to have a feature like this?

Thanks

add notes to past leave requests

Will there be an option to add notes to past leave requests? (for example if we needed to input a reference number or an update)

1 minute increments

Will there be an option in the future with having 1 minute increments when submitting leave requests instead of the 15 minute increments that is currently in place?

Our team is not utilizing the Clock In feature on Humanity. We are inputing "late arrivals" and "early departures" as leave types. When we submit "late arrivals" our employees are worried when receiving a notification that they have been late 15 mins when they are only a few minutes late. We always input notes in the comment and additional note section when submitting the request but would like to have the option of the 1 min increments for consistency.

Filter/download showing Manual/no photo in-out

This request is in reference to 'Timeclock --> Manage Timesheets' or may fall under Reports.


Summary 
We cannot easily see (filter in the UI or export to Excel) punches that are manual, without a picture taken, or from a separate IP over an extended period of time.

Therefore, it is difficult and laborious to find all of the corrections or manual entries user(s) have done over said period of time.

This is a big deal because it can identify bad behavior, negligence, or blatant time clock theft.


Requests
Add a feature in UI to filter or on the downloaded time sheets to quickly identify two things:
- The type of punch in/out (eg. with Camera picture, without Camera picture, or manual)
- The IP address recorded for the punch in/out as this could identify users who are approved to punch in remotely, but abuse the system. For example, someone could punch in from home, then drive into work and it may go unnoticed for a long time.

Leave request with a medical certificate

That would be great if we could have an option where the employee can only apply for leave with an upload of Medical Certificate.

Add Missing Time Punch To Manage Time Sheet

When approving time sheets it would be helpful to see the staff that was scheduled but may have forgotten to clock in or had issues with the clock in process that day. If it could show the scheduled shift and just reflect missed clock in that would be a great help to approving the time more efficiently. Thank you.

Add Login as users for Managers

When allocating permissions and supporting users with different level of permissions it would be great if managers were able to log in as other users. 

I have seen that your own employees can do this but this should be available for mangers as well. 

 

Set Availability in bulk

That would be great if we could add all employees availability at once and fill each day and give equal time.

Template Editing

I have some shifts that I created as a template but no longer use. I would like to be able to delete them or edit them.
Hope you can add this feature on a future release.
Thanks

Time Sheet Late Summary

The Time Sheet Late Summary report does not bind the clock in time with the shift and shows the employee as ABSENT for a shift if he clocks in more than 2 hours earlier than the actual shift start time.

Customized Order For Staff

Any chance we can build a custom order for the staff as opposed to them being sorted alphabetically?

I would like to have my managers and supervisors at the top of the list instead of mixed in with the hourly staff

Paychex Flex Export Missing Data

We are having critical issues with the Paychex Flex file export missing data and are having to manually edit data by hand by combining data from other Humanity reports. Please add the following data to the Paychex Flex export, which is required in Paychex Flex to use:

1. Add a column to the Paychex Flex file export- A column (“Pay Component”) should be included and identify the type of payment: "Overtime, Hourly, Salary, Tips Cash, Tips Charged". This is data captured in the system, but missing from the export.

2. Add all data to the Paychex Flex file export- No Cash Tip data is included. Cash Tip data should be included as rows in the export. This is data captured in the system, but missing from the export.

I will email example files comparing the current file which is missing data to an example with all the data included.

Thank you,
-Dan

Tardiness

I would like to see a feature where you document tardiness when you are not using the time clock feature.

Separate dashboard messages by location

It would be helpful, and prevent a lot of unnecessary notifications if the dashboard messages could be separated by location!

Ability to Edit Recurring Shifts Frequency

If a shift is repeated with any frequency, there should be an option for managers to change that frequency. Currently, the shifts have to be deleted and repeated again which is time-consuming.  

Multiple shifts in a day/Calling-off one shift

I work for a call center where employees are given the opportunity to pick up overtime (OT) shifts. When an employee works one shift and calls off sick for the other, I would like to designate leave/call-off of the missed shift only. For example: if they work 8 hours in the morning, but call off sick for a 3-hour shift that night. I've tried to designate the hours, but the system marks the entire day in the calendar view as a call off. I would like for the leave/call-off to be limited to the missed hours, not the whole day. 

Linking contract shifts together

I work for a company that provides tours in other states. Since these are longer periods of time, I would suggest creating a link of schedules that move as a unit, rather than one individual shift each time. Repeating shifts when creating the initial schedule is saving us right now, but this process could be streamlined :) 

Customize leave time frames

We go by a fiscal year of Aug - July.  All of our Leave totals just reset in January and this has caused a major problem for us.  It is crucial for us to be able to be able to set our own leave time frame.  

Mass Close Open Shifts Function

We work a 4-on / 4-off rotating cycle in our business, flipping from day shift to night shift every 16 days. We have 4 teams in each department, as we run 24 hours, 365 a year. I process scheduling and overtime every 16 days due to requirements in our collective bargaining agreement; due to the changing nature of our business, and the size of workforce, I generally don't know our specific overtime and scheduling needs until the day before and day of performing that process. Therefore, I leave all of our overtime shifts as Open availability until I do this process.

The downside of doing this is after I complete this process, I have to manually close all of my OT shifts. I do this by changing Open Shifts to "0" and duplicating this to the beginning via the Repeat Options. Ideally, my suggestion/improvement would be able to close shifts en masse; I could hit a button, select a date and the option to close all shifts on and prior to this date. 

If you need any feedback or clarity, please contact me at Drew.smith@riotinto.com.

Thanks,

Drew Smith

Load Date Range Selection After Clicking Apply

Hello,

When selecting a date range in Reports, immediately when a date selected no further action can be taken while Humanity loads the date range. In nearly every instance I need to adjust both the start and end date, so I select the first date, then wait...... then select the second date and wait.......

It would be great if the date range could be selected and only loaded upon clicking Apply. Currently the other options, All Locations, Select Positions, Select Employees, Select Skills, Options, can be selected and adjusted and the results load only after clicking apply. Could date range be added to this?

Thanks!

Tim Clock Settings

Hi Team, 

Please add  Humanity Time Clock round to the nearest quarter hour, rather than minute by minute, as 45 min are missing between 30/60 min timeframe.

Thank you!

Avantage as a Payroll Provider

Hi Humanity! We are using Avantage(https://www.avantage.ca/en/) as our payroll provider. We would like you to add Avantage in the list of your supported Payroll providers, as it is going to be a lot beneficial for us. 

Avantage Version: http://prntscr.com/m4mo06

 

More options under Bulk edit feature

It will be really handy to have few more options like setting the
Maximum/Minimum weekly hours for staff under the bulk edit feature.
 

Monthly Schedule Printing

When printing a monthly schedule we should be able to select the dates we need to print. Currently it chooses the date for you. If I need to print certain dates I have to print two separate calendars and white out the dates I do not need. Waste of paper and time. 

On boarding New Employees

It would be super helpful if the software gave the option to have new employees fill out there on boarding documents on humanity before starting there first day. 

Provide Leave Total Reset Options

Add the option to disable automatically resetting Leave Type totals January 1st. Allow employers to set the date when they want the totals to reset for their employees (i.e. Humanity creation date, start date, quarterly, etc)

Training Topics completion list

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an addition in the Training Topic module. 

If we have 100 modules, I don't want to have to go into all 100 modules to see who's done it. 

There should be an overview of the employees where it shows that which training topics has been completed by an employee and which ones are still pending rather then going in to the each training module to acquire that information. That would be ideal when we do our weekly 1-on-1 meetings with our staff, and we can review their training progress. 

Please do consider it for the following releases and I am assured that this will be liked by other clients as well. 

​​​​​​​Thank you. 

 

Custom Field

When entering a date in the custom field, there is no option to remove the date field. We should be able to remove the date field accordingly  - As a reference - http://prntscr.com/m4k6xo

Location colum added to Payroll export file

We need the location physical address (or name if the physical address is not possible) added to our TriNet payroll export file. Thank you

Shift Duration

An option in shiftplanning at the time of shift creation, to change the default duration of shift(8 hours) would be feasible. As we usually have to create 4 hour shifts, but for each of the shift, I have to change the time manually by going into the SEW.
Besides that, incorporate the employee list option in shift creation window instead of SEW. It will save time and efforts on schedule's end. 

Merge employee

A function to merge two employees, because the same employee has been created twice with different emails, and both already have alot of shifts create in both accounts.

Training Record Management

I would like to be able to track training records through humanity. The records need to be customizable, usable in the field (all our employee work outside) and in real time.
For example:

Tom Peterson's Check off Card
1.) Properly demonstrated equipment inspection  Yes or no (this could be a check box).   Date: 10/18/2019

• Trainer notes: Tom did great with all aspects of the inspection. (trainer needs to be able to make notes to each inspection item. 

2.) Can safely operate the forklift   Yes or No (check box)  Date: 10/18/2019

• Trainer Notes: Tom shadowed Jerry for 4 hours on Tuesday and demonstrated today that he could operate the forklift according to our procedures. 

We would also need the ability to pull reports on how many people are checked off on certain equipment and have access to the training notes. We also need to be able to assign dates of completion and attached an electronic signature from the staff. These training logs need to be accessible even for inactive(disabled) staff. 

My company is currently shopping around for software that does exactly this. It would be better if we could just stay with humanity instead. 

Thank you.

staff availability while in day/employee view

At one time, the day/employee view would show the availability of each staff member.  This was a GREAT feature to have as when the scheduling was being done, one could see what shifts were open and the availability for each staff member for that day.  We have full time and part time staff.  Our part time staff's availability is different depending on the day of the week.  Please bring this feature back!

Export format for Loket.nl

I would like to request an export format for the payrolling software Loket.nl

Availability by role

We have some staff who work across multiple roles.  They should be able to set their availability for one of these roles, but not the other.  Ideally we would like the system to allow staff to set availability by role.

Vacation between years

Seems to be a bug or maybe something to look at. When a employee puts in vacation in 2018 and it is for 2019 it only looks at days available in 2018 and not in 2019.

Example, i am taking vacation 24 December to 6 Jan. the 24th through the 31st should be pulled from 2108 vacation and the Jan 1 through the 6th should be pulled from 2019.

Currently the system does not do this as it looks only at current year.

This causes 2 problems. 1st the problem already mention
and 2nd if I schedule vacation for the following year and it is approved it removes vacation from the current year.

Better Permissions Handling of Vacations

As a company that is international are personnel have different levels of managers. We have country managers, Project managers and so on. Would like to have permissions reworked so that there is a workflow for approvals.

Example
Engineer
First Manager
Project Manager
Final Approver

So the Engineer would submit the Vacation request
It then would show up and notification sent to only the first Manager, First manager approves and then the Vacation request is moved to the Project Manager
Project manager receives a Notification for the request and Approve/Rejects the vacation request. A notification is sent to the Final Approver 
Final approver receives a notification that he has received a new request and he approves or rejects and the a final notification is sent to the engineer. 

This would mean that we would have the ability to set the different manager in the persons profiles so the system knows who the approvers are.

Better Customer Reporting

Would like to have better customer reporting, Give the Option to put in table name and pull that table column to add to a report.  Currently there is only a few options.

 

GPS

I am contacting you because I believe that Humanities should come with some type of gps locator that allows employees to clock in when they are in a mile perimeter of the facility. This update will prevent employees from clocking in when they are nowhere near the building. This also prevents the employer from paying so much in overtime when the employees are nowhere near the building. 

Let us modify Shift Publishing Email Headline Text

Let us modify shift publishing e-mail notification subject/Headline text. Currently, no matter what kind of shift is published, employees receive emails with the Headline - "YOUR UPCOMING SCHEDULE IS POSTED"!  But this is misleading when we post OPEN SHIFTS. When Open Shifts are published, employees should get notified in the e-mail subject line that "OPEN SHIFTS ARE POSTED"   or    OPEN SHIFTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR PICK UP,    and NOT - "your upcoming schedule is posted".   We use both shift options and this is very confusing for employees. 

Thanks 

Ability to change to hours:minutes for payroll

Our new payroll program needs time entered in the hours:minutes format instead of decimals.  

Bulk Shift Trades

It would be great if employees who are switching with the same person for the entire week, can batch trade their shifts instead of having to enter 5 separate requests for trades for that same week. Ex. 1 employee is scheduled to work the 8-4 shift all week and they want to trade with the employee who is scheduled to work the 10-6 shift all week. 1 request that cover M-F would be great.

Open Shift Requests

There should be statistical data about which employees have requested for an open shift. We do have a report which shows the worked open shifts but I would like a report where we can pull up data about employees who have requested for an open shift so we may make decisions based on those reports. 

Open Shift Requests

There should be statistical data about which employees have requested for an open shift. We do have a report which shows the worked open shifts but I would like a report where we can pull up data about employees who have requested for an open shift so we may make decisions based on those reports. 

Timeclock Ipad App Updates

The iPad app needs some updates.

We are receiving errors while trying to log in.
Timeclock stations need to be smooth. 
If internet is not connected or goes out, the timeclock needs to be able to record locally then push data when the internet is back on. 

Confirming Hours Worked with Edit Option

When an employee clocks out at the end of the shift, they should get an immediate push notification confirming the start time and end time and if it is not accurate, they can adjust it right then, and leave a note. 

Feature Request Community for us!

I absolutely love this Feature Request Community and it would be really great if we also had the ability to collect the same useful feedback from our employees and help improve our businesses in the exact same way you do from us! Perhaps, it uses this same system with an additional pull down menu... Feature Request for Humanity, or Feature request for Your Company.

Copy, save, link details in Shift Notes on mobile

It would be great if details in the shift notes (on mobile) could be selected and copied or if phone numbers in the notes could be live linked so when clicked, the phone number can go directly to a phone call. 

We put client details and contact info in shift notes for employees working at remote sites for clients. When an employee wants to call the client, they open the notes on their mobile but the client phone numbers are not live linked and cannot be clicked to call. You can't even select and copy the details. Instead, employees have to write down the information in the notes with a pen and paper, then open their phone app, type in the phone number, and then make the call to the client. 

Employees' requests report

Some employees questioned why they are given less shifts than other employees, if there is a report on their requests which they did not cancel, not only can Managers provide them answers and comparisons VS. their approved shifts, but Managers can also see which employees are not giving enough requests per week or per month on a broader view.

Upcoming On-Call Shifts on Dashboard

Requesting a widget that displays on-call shifts for employees on the dashboard

Default to one week view for employee shift view

Redhat is requesting a change in the employee profile. When the employee goes to his profile and pulls up his schedule by default it takes to 4 weeks. They are requesting it should be week view instead of 4 week view

Publishing schedule for more than 4 weeks

Redhat is requesting to publish schedule for more than 4 weeks

Filter view for managers to look for their direct

Redhat is requesting a view for their manager which will help them pull up their direct reportees

shift template deletion

It would be SO helpful if a shift template could be deleted. I just got back from vacation, and someone I had given access to the scheduling program created shifts (which automatically created templates), and now I have to scroll through so many templates to find what I'm looking for! Either a delete feature or some way to organize them by start time?

Thanks!

Decline a shift feature on the app

The employee does not have an option to decline a shift by using the Humanity app.  Most of our staff are on location therefore rarely infront of their computer. Have this option would make scheduling quicker, more efficient and easier for the scheduler and employees.  Without this feature, I would not know if they are 'still thinking about taking the shift' or are declining it but no way to tell me.  This was a main feature why we signed on with Humanity and unfortunately now I find out that this option is not included in the app.

Make "Remaining Leave Amount" Editable

Please make the "Remaining Leave Amount" Editable for Managers and Admins of the system. 

Managers see when a leave request was made

We'd like the ability to see, and possibly organize, leave requests by when they were made. Currently the system organizes leave requests in chronological order of date. This makes it difficult to see who submitted their request first if there are overlapping dates. We'd like the ability to see when an employee submitted a request, and if possible, be able to organize leave requests by when they were submitted as well.

Filter by Leave Type

When approving leave, it would be nice to be able to filter by leave type.

Employees to Request shifts when "Unavailable"

It would be very helpful if employees who are marked as "unavailable" would be able to request to take a shift through the app. And then as managers, we can approve it. 
This is helpful because some employees might be able to fill those shifts or multitask them. 

ability to print staff availability sheets

Having the ability to print off individual employee availability sheets so I don't have to go back and forth between the availability page and the shift planning page.

Separate leave requests by location/position

2. Ability to separate leave requests pending approval into separate locations/positions for approval by their respective schedulers. We have 3 locations with 3 separate schedulers that share staff. When staff request time off, each scheduler for each shop needs the ability to approve leave for only the shifts that they manage without taking the staff off shifts from the other 2 locations.

Alternately, allow staff to select each shop location/position for the relevant dates when requesting leave.

Thanks

Add additional shift details for leave conflicts

In the Leave module for pending vacation requests, it would be very helpful to be able to click on the number of conflicts and see more shift details in addition to the date & time. Primarily: position, title, & location.

 

Easily assign all employees a leave type

Similar to the skills and positions it would be nice to easily assign a leave type to all employees at once.

Leave Report

There should be a simple Reporting format for leaves that shows the total number of leaves assigned to an employee and the remaining balance, as per the leave types. Being managers, once we have this report, we can make decisions to either proceed with leave encashment or carry them forward. 

Leave request info in staff profile

I would like to be able to go to a specific staff person's leave tab and see the details of their leave requests. To do that now, I have to go to reports and generate a vacation summary, which gives me the info I need but not efficiently.

Repeat Shift Info

When clicking on an existing shift, I'd like to see details of the repeating shift, including start and end date.

Quickbooks Online Canada payroll integration

Seems like a no brainer to have Quickbooks Online Canada payroll directly integrate with Humanity the way the US version of Quickbooks Online does.  I know it's more work but if you are charging Canadians the same rate we should have the same options.  

Shift notes Link

That would be great if we could access the link in the shift notes by just clicking on it. The link should be clickable. At the moment, we have to copy and paste it.

Remote Sites

I want to be able to deactivate old remote sites for future reference, similarly to old employees. Locations, as well. 

Disable Timeclock for Salaried Staff

We need to be able to include salaried staff on our schedule without asking them to clock/ showing them as late/absent all the time. The "Pay Type" selection in the staff profiles should connect to the time clock. If this is not already available anyone added to the platform as Salaried should also automatically be removed from payroll reports or at least allow for those employees to be filtered out. 
It would also make sense to not include the "Late for Work" section from everyone's dashboard. If the salaried functions were working it wouldn't matter so much, but it isn't great to have employees ALWAYS listed as late for everyone to see simply because their position doesn't require them to clock in/out.

associate multiple skills to a position

It would be great to associate multiple skills to a position rather than just one.
 

Same employee, split position per shift, one line

Please add a way to have a job position split within a certain time frame within that 1 shift window and have it show up linked to that one employee as opposed to being seen as two separate shift entries
ex. Johnny: 8-3 Surgery 3-7 Appointments
The goal would be to have the shift shown together as one shift and not be broken out by time or position and have the ability to be shown this way in the month view.

I work in the Veterinary industry and this feature would be monumental at providing you future business in that market. So many veterinary hospitals employ professionals to work multiple positions or roles within 1 shift combined with the fact that these hospitals are typically ALWAYS short on time to create schedules and keep everyone's vacation, shift changes etc organized I see this as an opportunity to expand your business as currently there is not a scheduling program I can find that offers this feature.

Client for life if this feature is made available

Location/Position Total employees

We would like to see a total count of all positions for each location

No blanket access to all managers for rates of pay

We would like to start entering in rates of pay for our employees, however, we need to have a feature to turn off access for all managers to view this.  Please advise of a solution as it presents itself. 

Original Published Schedule

We need a report to show us the original published schedule. It is very easy to make changes on accident that it leaves us in a state of confusion. This has been a significant issue for many of m clinics. Potentially a report of changes made also. Viewing the individual history is not efficient.
Thank you!

employee anniversary

Would like to have additional options for employee anniversary other than just annual. Most companies do a 30 to 90-day review with their employees. 
Thank You

Scheduled vs Non-Scheduled Resource

I would like a way to be able to toggle each staff member so that they are either a scheduled resource (show up on the schedule) or non-scheduled resource (don't show up on the schedule or in reporting, but still have the ability to make schedule adjustments)

This simplifies the schedule so that only the people that are being scheduled show up and not have to weed through the other users that do not matter.

View Multiple Positions at the same time

Please add the ability to select, by clicking on the check box, multiple positions at the same time.

Right now the default is to only be able to see one position at a time. 

Notes Icon on Shift

Please add an icon that indicates there is a note on a shift. Similar to the icon that shows an envelope and an eye. 
It would be great to visually see when there is a note added to a specific shift for an employee without having to open up the shift. We would use this to add notes if an employee has called out or is running late, etc. 

Default shift planning view

Can you make an option to set up your view of clinics as a setting for everytime you log in? 
When I log in, it defaults to my schedule and CM.
I would like to default to my 2 clinics (Catclaw and Hwy 351)

Report for weekend calculation

That would be great if we could calculate number of worked hours on Weekends only. There should be a report for the calculation of weekends worked.

Messages

Ugh, can you please allow a message to be deleted while in the message instead of having to 
go to the main message screen and have to search what message you were just in.

There are just too many steps in reading messages.  It should be simpler.
 

Profile Photo Adjustments

Allowing customization features that allow users to adjust size, orient/crop profile picture.

Allow Managers to change Leave submission dates

We would like the ability to have managers change the dates on submitted leave from employees. That way, the employee wouldn't have to resubmit leave everytime there is a conflict. The manager could disucss with the employee and change it, allievating an extra and time cosnuming step.

Skill/Certification date of completion

Important to know the date of certification, even if it does not have an expiration date.  Two calendars are required - one for Skill/Certification completion, and one for expiry.

Additional features for locations

Hello,

It would be beneficial if we could add additional information to Locations. Namely, a phone number. We use locations to list our client's because all of our employees travel to different places to work. The address is important (which is there already), but there are times when they have to be called and it would be nice for all employees to be able to see that information.

Allow shift trades regardless of availability

Allow employees to trade shifts with another person even if that person's availability calendar says they can't work.
A lot of the time an employee can take another shift even though their availability calendar says they aren't free to work.
This is creating a MASSIVE TIME INVESTMENT from management in creating NEW SHIFTS for the person who's willing to work (yes, they're willing to work despite their availability saying otherwise) and then deleting the old shift from the employee giving up the shift...etc. 

I see this same idea was posted back in 2017 and received 29 votes - I'm reviving the conversation.

Approaching Overtime Report

It would be nice to have a report that compares actual hours worked to date in a pay period to those scheduled to see if they would be going into Overtime Hours due to working more than scheduled?  

mindbody

I'd like to suggest an integration with Mindbody Online.
https://developers.mindbodyonline.com/Home/SignUp

Currently one of our big headaches is keeping a large class schedule in sync with our employees' work schedule. We have to use Humanity to mirror the information in our current scheduling software (WellnessLiving, which has no API). We would migrate to MindbodyOnline if they could integrate with your software. It would make our lives so very much easier.

The general idea would be to pull the class schedule into Humanity from MindbodyOnline for each week, then assign resources in Humanity and publish shifts. We could then keep track of class cancellations and holidays and such only in MindbodyOnline, and "extra" shifts wouldn't be copied from previous weeks. If it's on the main gym schedule, then it would appear in Humanity as shifts that need to be covered.

Request a "Sick Day" in the past

We need the ability for employees to log sick days after the fact (i.e. they can't schedule a sick day in advance, because they don't know they will be sick). The current leave types don't allow an employee to create a leave request in the past, but they should be able to do this for a "sick day". Currently they have to make a request to a manager to manually input a sick day, and this is an administrative inefficiency with additional cost.

Send comments with leave rejection

There is a comments box for when a manager is rejecting leave, but the employee only receives an email that states the request was rejected.
The comments should be included in the email without the employee having to log in for more details. 

future AVAILABILITY, 2 week notice option

under the settings icon.....under the availability options...i feel there should be a button that requires a 2 week notice option, like there is for leave and vacation. some employees can use this "set future availability" option as a cheat way to request a day off within 2 weeks....if you already have the 2 week notice option on for leave and vacation...

example....the setting for leave and vacation require a 2 week notice, employee wants to request a day off that is 10 days away...as the system is set up now...they are not capable of requesting time off or a leave..so they can then go to set future availability for that day (10 days away) and set it up as unavailable for that day....

even though the scheduler and manager are the ones that can approve or deny these requests...its still a cheat way/loop hole to allow employees to request a day off within the 2 week time frame

Option to customise leaving period

Perhaps it would be possible to have an option to customise the period between what is calculated the leaving days. Do not be only from 1st January till 31st December.
In UK the financial year is considered between 6th April and 5th April, so some companies choose to have the leaving period between 1st May and 30th April.

Shift Planning section Should Default to MY.

1. When clicking shift planning it automatically sets to show "all" so it takes forever to load. But if you could set it to "My" that would be much better.

Position updates in Time sheet reports.

Logs for Terminals

There should be a column in the "Manage Time Sheet" section (http://prntscr.com/lx846q) where we can see which terminal/which tablet was used to clock in/clock out from. This is highly beneficial for managers who want to track various details and especially large corporation. 

Desktop Application

I would like to be able to download a desktop version of the app so it's easily accessible in my dock

Zoho Recruit

We use Zoho Recruit for onboarding.  

allow shift trade notifications

currently employees offering their shifts for trade can only notify other employees who are "available" for that shift. due to the contractor landscape of our organization, people often pick up shift trades when they are "unavailable" because they move their schedules around, or simply didn't want to be *scheduled* at that time but are in fact, open to working or trading.
we'd like the ability for EVERYONE capable of working that position to receive trade notifications for a released shift EVEN IF their availability has them marled as "unable to work"
there's no harm in receiving a notification that makes you think twice about helping a coworker. worst case scenario, the people who aren't interested or truly can't work just ignore the notification.

thanks!

Edited Timecard Report

For many states (NH, MA for example) it is state law that if an employer changes an employees time they must sign off on the change.  Currently Humanity does not have a report for this.  We need to have a report that covers the time card period (week at a time) that prints only adjusted timesheets, a single page per employee so that they can sign off on them.  Without this feature it would prohibit us utizling the time portion of this application.  The scheduling is amazing.

Recurring Budgeting

It would be a huge time saver if we could have recurring weekly budgets instead of having to add them every week

Regular field to be included in custom view report

The regular field "Employee Type" under Edit details of a staff member profile should be included in the custom view report so that when the Management selects Full-time and Part-time options for employees they could pull up a custom view report for that.without having to add a seperate custom field for this purpose and then updating employee profiles to get custom view report for part-time/full-time employees.

Thanks

OnCall Reporting

For the new OnCall feature, we need a report that shows how many shifts someone was OnCall for a time period, and also the total number of hours for those shifts.

We have weekday OnCall, and weekend OnCall, which have different levels of compensation. Bonus points if we could set compensation levels per shift worked.

birthday report

I would like to request being able to see all employee's birthdays in a single report. Thank you!

Disable vacation booking with Bamboo sync

It would be great to find a way to disable vacation booking in humanity when the bamboo sync is set up.

I read the Integration Guide, and noticed that it says we must leave the "Employees can book vacations" option enabled, in order for the sync to work properly. 

As an experiment, we tried disabling "Employees can book vacations," then making and approving a Bamboo vacation request. The sync did not occur. So the integration guide is correct, but it doesn't make sense to be able to request vacation in Humanity if it's all coming from Bamboo.

Thanks!

Manage Time Sheets

It would be nice to be able to group by employees instead of date so I can see all of one employee's time clocks more easily.  Right now I have to switch back and forth between a reports and Manage Time Sheets in order to see all the information I need.  

Enable Mobile number confirmation via Mobile app

Please add the feature so employees can confirm their phone numbers via mobile app. Not everyone is using PCs and without confirmation they don't receive text/push notifications. 

Tracking re-publishing employee shift reasons

We have been using Shiftplanning/Humanity for almost 6 years now. It would be very beneficial to be able to track why shift changes occur after they are originally published and generate employee specific reports for these reasons. The most common reasons are: 

-sick/illness
-personal emergency
-missed shift without a valid reason
-late request for shift replacement - personal reasons, non-emergency

Currently, we replace an employee either manually or through a trade and re-publish so that the newly assigned employee taking the shift can actually clock in and out to the specific shift.

I suggest that at the point where we are selecting a different employee for a shift after it was originally published, a pop up occurs to ask what the reason is for the employee shift change. The pop up items could be the ones I suggested above &/or include others.

Then we would need to be able to generate a date ranged report based on these selections which will assist us in managing performance/attendance behaviours and identify troublesome employee specific trends.

I have often wondered how many times a particular employee has changed their shift or was sick after the schedule was originally published but cannot get this data since all original shifts are lost once re-published.
 

Time Clock Notifications

Time Clock Notifications: 

-Employee late for work" reminder for schedulers
-Employee late for work" reminder for managers
-Employee has not clocked out of finished shift" reminder for schedulers
-Employee has not clocked out of finished shift" reminder for managers

We should be able to customize the Time Clock Notifications (above) as per our own preference (1 minute or 5 minute and 10 minute - instead of the 15 minutes, 30 minute and 45-minute interval). Secondly, we should be able to select more than one options or simply input a number or various numbers as per our preference.

Repeating shifts - only effect a certain number

When updating repeating shifts - have an option to update repeat for X number of shifts.  

Approving Leave Requests

When approving leave requests - have an option to not remove employees from all shifts - Sometimes only part of a vacation is approved.

Base Rate

Base rates change occasionally.  When it does change would like to be able to put an "as of" date so when that date comes the new base rate will be used.  In addition, all payroll reports should reflect the base rate for the time frame for that rate.  When the base rate changes all the past payroll reports should not reflect the new rate when that is not the rate that was used when those payroll numbers were used for payroll.  

Filter

It would be cool to add a filter to the ShiftPlanning section. Filter it to
shifts that start at a certain time, or shifts that end at a certain time.

See which remote site when you hover over a shift

Have the option to display which remote site when you hover over the icon for a shift.

Admins to set leave FOR employees

I would like to be able to request leave on behalf of my employees.

ability to apply different breaks to different day

Ability to apply different break types to a shift that covers different days and different times.  i.e. staff work 3:30-10 on Saturday and gets a 1/2 hour unpaid break, the same staff person works 12-8pm on Sunday and gets an hour unpaid break.

Signing in/date

Hello,

When I log in to Humanity and go to the Shiftplanning tab it is not defaulted to today's date, it defaults to a September date which is very frustrating. Is this a bug in the program. I would think that when you sign in it would bring you automatically to today's date.

Mobile app not user friendly

I am the administrator for the account and using the mobile app would be nice, however, it's extremely frustrating when I am trying to assign staff to requested shifts. It would be helpful if the app could be more user friendly and easy to navigate, and for schedulers and managers to be able to approve or assign a person to a shift would be really helpful. 

Event Log

The event log is extremely difficult to first of all get into and then use. You often times have to enter information more than once to get it to the dates or person you want to research as if there's a bug in the program. It would be helpful if the event log could also allow for property search and type of shift research for example deleted shifts, updated shifts, etc. There aren't enough options for research and with the constant issues it is frustrating to find the information needed.

Shared File Folders

For the Shared Files, it would be extremely helpful to make it possible to group files into folders.  Thanks!

Meal Breaks

Show time sheet reports with meal break times included

Training competition date

That would be great if we could find out what date a team member/employee finished a training topic under the training section.

Cancel account

It would be helpful to be able to close and cancel my account without the help of customer service.  Its a very common feature that should be included.
Thanx

Simultaneous Clock Ins

It would be helpful to be able to simultaneously clock in multiple employees at once if they missed clocking in instead of doing each one individually. Refreshing each page and then directing back to "add Clock Time" is often time consuming on busy mornings. (Obviously a solution would be for staff to remember to clock in but such is life sometimes).

Shift Planning

When adding a shift the window defaults to 8am to 4pm. There are many of us who are managing a class schedule. it would be nice to have control over this default. For example. not having any times suggested or having 1 hour windows as an option.
