Welcome to Humanity's Community!

Auto confirm Email/Mobile number

That would be great if emails and mobile number can be confirmed automatically. Lets say about 48 hours after a new user has been loaded or if we can get some form of report on who has not confirmed their email addresses or mobile number?

Staff preferred number of hours

That would be great if the Employees could fill out their Preferred Number of Hours, and that would highlight as red for managers when they schedule them over. I understand the manager can manually add hours for them but that would be super grateful if the Staff will have that option for their own. Just like you currently do for daily/weekly OT

Create Folders for uploaded employee files

I would like to be able to have folders in the Staff Employee Files are uploaded.  I want to upload the files to an appropriate folder rather than just as a group.   Examples of Folders:1.  Motor vehicle checks 2.  Criminal background checks 3.  Reviews 4.  Employee documents
 

Etc.

Add "Include Notes" option to Group Reports

In the Group Accounts --> Reports tab, there is not an option to "Include Notes". This is inconsistent to running reports in all other functions of Humanity.

Please adjust!

integration with gusto

it is one of the largest online payroll companies. 

Mini Calendar Update

Currently you see a mini calendar with the days of the week displayed.
It does not display the month in the title, and it does not allow you to advanced forward in months. You seem to have to view a 4 week view and then advance through the 4 weeks at a time. This can get tedious if you have to view 3 months in the future.

Please add the month you are on as a title on the top of the mini calendar, and add back or forward arrows to advance months easily. 

Sorting Options

Normally you would want to see shifts in time order, see who is opening to who is closing. Currently you do not provide an option to sort by shifts, you only give the option to view names in alphabetical order. Please add an option to sort days, weeks, by something other than name, like by time or shift. 

Add TotalWireless as a mobile network

Please add "TotalWireless" mobile network to the list of mobile carriers so we can confirm our mobile number and receive SMS notifications. 

Hours guidelines and snap to fit

Just a suggestion. It would be an awesome feature if you guys could set an hours of operation limiter so shifts would snap to fit the business hours for that day

Overview

Hi, I was hoping we could make the default value as "This Week" instead of "Last 7 days". So that when an employee goes to that page (Timeclock - Overview) for the first time, the time frame filter is already set to This Week and then they change the filter as they wish. Let me know if you have questions! Thank you.

Only view Operating Hours in Day View

I would like to suggest the ability to only display "operating" hours in the daily view. Right now you get every hour shown in the day, even though you might not have anyone schedule. For example, my store opens at 10am and closes at 10pm. I dont need to see the hours of 3am, 4am, 5am, since I dont schedule anyone during those hours. Would be great to be able to view say, the hours from 9am to 11pm only. 

Daily view with Shift, Break and Tasks

 I would like to suggest an option to view and print a day where it shows the employees who are scheduled, their shift, the break down in hours, when they are on break, any assigned tasks and the ability to print this view. 

Ability to reset leave remaining on Custom Time

I would like to suggest an option for the future to set leave to restart on the anniversary of the employee's start date. This would allow companies like mine to use the leave feature to it's full potential. Currently for us it is a useless feature for leave tracking as our leave renews on our anniversaries not on the 1st of the year. Thank you

Push notifications

Add push notification abilities to mobile app, to avoid excessive emails & text messages. 

SMS SUpport for ROGERS mobile CANADA

SMS Support for ROGERS mobile CANADA

Mobile Carrier: Rogers
Country: Canada

Restrictions Settings based on Individual

We would like to have the following settings for individual basis so that we won't have to apply to everyone in the company.

"The system automatically clock-out employees after n working hours.​"

Allow clock-in only within X before the start of a shift *Advanced
Allow clock-in only within X after the start of a shift *Advanced
Allow clock-out only within X before the end of a shift *Advanced
Allow clock-out only within X after the end of a shift *Advanced

Thank you

Message Wall Suggestion

It would be great to be able to edit a message on the message wall after it's been published. Would be so nice, rather than having to delete and republish when there is a small tweak or update to an existing message. Thank you!

Birthdays

I would like to be able to run a report to show all employees birthdays

Email client schedules right from Humanity

I would like to send the schedule of a specific location to that location client. For example, When you select a location from the left side of the screen it will bring up the schedule for that location. I then click on the position view so I see the position and what employees are schedule for that position
I would like to be able email that to the client right from humanity without having to save as a pdf and send as an attachment from my primary email server.

Twilio & Mailchimp

It would be incredibly helpful to have integrations with Twilio and Mailchimp so that we can automate shift-based communications.

Fix (or revert) Mobile Web Version of site

I would Imagine the primary and most often used function of Humanity is the time clock. When our employees use Humanity, they want to clock in. They want to clock in as fast as humanly possible and then get to work.
With that in mind, it seems that Humanity's designers and developers should focus their efforts toward streamlining this process.
The fewer hoops we have to jump through to accomplish this goal, the happier I (and my employees) will be in the morning. 
The less things (apps) I have to install on my mobile device to accomplish this, the better. 
Yet within the last couple of weeks Humanity has thrown extra roadblocks in our way.  
Two or three weeks ago, I could use Chrome to log into the website ONCE and then just hit clock in and clock out every day without ever having to log back in which was really nice because I am usually driving and once I clear our gate, I could bring up the phone's browser, hit the clock in button and work.

Now EVERY Freaking morning once I clear the gate, I have to first close the Giant Pop-Up advertising your new app (which I don't want or need) then try not to click on the Smaller POP-UP saying "Install this web app on your..." While I try to type in my username and password using buttons that are too tiny to see with the glasses I wear for driving. THEN, I have to click another link to go to the time clock page and then clock in (which takes two more clicks to approve using my location). (HINT: A cookie could be used to have the pop-ups stop appearing once I have closed them).

Long story, short and sorry for the rant... all the admin features and stuff are great, but the majority of users are employees who just want to clock in. Humanity should make doing so as easy and with as few clicks or extra software as possible.

On-call shift reports

Jack Swets (Manager) would like to have a report for On-call shifts that will help determine the data for all the on-call shifts of employees that were scheduled and how many were on shift after scheduled on call. This will be really helpful and important.

Thanks. 

 

Request to be removed from an approved shift

Once a staff person is assigned to a shift they requested, it would be nice if they could send in a request to be removed from that shift.

thank you,

employee report

I would like to generate some reports for employees based on:
- skills (not expiration date)
- locations they are assigned to
- hire date

From ShiftPlanning, you can view scheduled employees based on their skill and location, but I'd like to see all employees (regardless of being scheduled or available to work).

Manual chnages to be shown in attendance reports

Stephane (Manager) would like to have a report for attendance where the manual changes to the timesheets are reflected. Currently, In timesheet late summary report or the Timesheet atendance report if the timeclock was added manually using "Add clock time" feature it doesnt show in these 2 reports accordingly. Or if any changes were made to adjust the time of the employee it will still show them late/absent. If there is a attendace report introduced, where after the changes have been made manually or the clock time is added manually and it will be updated in the attendance report accoridngly, that would be really helpful.

Thanks.

Conversation Widgets

I would love to be able to create widgets for conversations such as birthdays, work success, reporting tech issues, cleaning. At the moment everything is in the one chat screen and its easy to miss stuff.  Thanks guys!

Unpaid Break Reminders

It would be great if we could add a notification that prompts employees to clock out/in for their unpaid breaks. 

Email Automated Reporting

• I would like to save standard reports. I know there is a version of this feature, but there are a few additions I would like to see. I would like to be able to quickly pull up a report of specific peoples' "Time Clock" summary with breaks filtered out, and that does not appear to be an option that is available.
• I would like to have reports emailed to me at regular intervals. For example, I'd love to get a report of hours worked for each of my team members e-mailed to me Monday morning so I can review it before time is submitted to payroll.

Sort Leave Types

Leave Types as per today can't be sorted in a individual manner. It would be useful to have the most frequently used on top and the one which aren't used that often in the lower part of the list.

 

Adding Regular Fields

Hi there, 

It would be nice if a "Birthday" or "Date of Birth" is added in the regular fields under the staff tab when viewing in Custom View since our wage increases are based on staff birthday's and not their start date to avoid a duplicate entry. 

I recommend in the Training section that PDF's do not automatically download when selected, but instead, they open in a new tab so the user can choose to read, print or download the document.

I will be thankful to you if these are considered and also more grateful if you can at least respond to these feature requests otherwise there is no point having this forum. 

Thanks

Time sheet report by TIME

can I pull a timesheet report for a specific hour during the day.? For example, could I request from Monday to Friday 06:00 to 18:00

Integration with Microsoft Teams

It would be great to be able to view schedules and maybe even clock in/out within microsoft teams.

Setting or Option for Pay Period

It would be nice if there was a button, setting, or option where the length of the pay period could be set and then no longer having to select the dates. A drop-down box with options such as "2 weeks", etc. that would automatically adjust once it is set. Allowing for an easy clicking of the 'Apply' filter button and the Date Start - Date End would already be set to whatever the companies pay period is.

Make the 'Update Series' Button On-Top & Visible

In order to see (show) the `Update Series` button, you must click the "Repeat Options"  button. Having the button on the bottom right, aligned, and visible would be less confusing (for schedulers/managers) and allow for quicker data entry—especially when copying shifts.

Adding Positions in Bulk to All Locations

There should be a method to add a position or positions to all locations with just a few clicks or a single button. It would be rather helpful since positions assigned to our locations are crucial for our payroll reports and scheduling.

Allow managers to set availability effective DATE

When a manager approves an employee's changed weekly availability, they should be able to set the EXACT date when that availability goes into effect. Choosing from options like "1 day" "2 weeks" and "4 weeks" under Settings is so imprecise. Our employees know that we expect them to submit availability by the 15th of every month for the month starting six weeks later, and that we publish a monthly schedule on the first of each month for the following month. For instance:

October 15 - staff availability for December is due
November 1 - December's schedule is published

We'd like to be able to work on December's schedule starting October 16, but under the current model if we approve newly submitted availability even 4 weeks out (the current limit), suddenly there will be conflicts showing for the last 2 weeks of the already published November schedule and people won't be shown as actually available for shift trades. 

We should be able to approve an availability request on October 15 and say "This goes into effect on December 1" and have it NOT impact November's schedule in any way. I'm sure there are also organizations that have very specific timeframes when their hours of operation change, and they would need to be able to be similarly precise. 

Maximum Number of Requests by Position

It would be nice to set the maximum number of people that can ask for time off be by position rather than total.  Right now if you say "5" as an example, if it's 5 people out of the same position that doesn't work.  We have a restaurant & we'd like to be able to set that 4 servers, 2 cooks, & 2 dishwashers would be the maximum number of employees that could request the same day off.

sorting disabled staff by the disabled date

Hi, 
If there could be a feature to sort group of employee by disable date (under disabled staff), so that we can view what date one particular employee was disabled, it will  be great.  

Remove Picklists

Please consider updating features that require the user to make a selection through a picklist. 

Examples: 
ShiftPlanning - when you click into a shift to make edits you can't manually type in the start/end time 

Staff - when creating break rules the user is forced to pick from a dropdown list for break length

The pick lists are unintuitive and slow the user down. 

Thank you!! 

Restrcition for creating shifts for Maximum hours

Manager PARE would like to have an option which could be enabled so that the scheduler would only be able to create for the maximum daily hours that have been specified under Payroll settings. Instead of showing the conflicts after the shift has been created they want to restrict the scheduler so that they could not create a shift for more than the specified hours in the first place. This is a very useful and important feature request for the business.


Thanks.

Add Custom Email Templates

It seems simple and a little weird that we don't have the power to customize the messages/notifications sent via Humanity to our workforce.
In particular, the message notifying employees that a schedule has been posted contains some weird grammar that I want to change: 
"Management Nicole Gautreau has posted your upcoming work schedule" 

This should say either: 
"Manager, Nicole Gautreau, has posted your upcoming work schedule"
"Nicole Gautreau has posted your upcoming work schedule" 
"Management has posted your upcoming work schedule" 

Please fix this wording and consider allowing clients to create their own custom messages. 

Thanks!

 

Restrict Employees to edit future availability

Provide new setting that allows Managers/Supervisors/Schedulers to edit employees future availabilities, while restricting access to Employees

Break Rules via Rate Card

Instead of setting Break Rules by position only I want to be able to add break rules to rate cards. 

Breaks are part of the FT/PT pay rates and do not apply to teams/positions specifically. We could work around this if we were able to set breaks rules on rate cards. 

Allow for Settings to be Customized by Position

We'd like the ability to customize our shiftplanning and timeclock settings by position. 

For example - we have a team that we want to allow greater flexibility in their schedule, like shift acknowledgment and shift drop currently I would have to turn this on for all employees in order to turn it on for that 1 team.

Shift Unacknowledgement indication on Shiftplannin

Nicole (Manager) would suggest a feature improvement regarding Shift acknowledgement feature where when the employees Un-acknowledges a shift by selecting the option "I cannot attend" it should show some indication under Shiftplanning tab on that specific shift that has been un-acknowledged so the manager could see it over there instead of pulling up a separate report to check for this, This could be really useful.

Thanks

NEED REPORTS ACCESSIBLE FROM NEW MOBILE APP!!

The new mobile app, while it looks a tad prettier, does not let you see or access any reports. We need at least two basic reports viewable for our managers to be able to use this app. 
1) Weekly scheduled hours per employee so we can see how many hours someone is scheduled to work so far for the week.
2) Hours worked per employee, so the manager can see how many hours the employee has worked so far for any given week. 

Without these two basic reports being easily accessible, how is a scheduling manager to be able to ensure their employees do not get overtime?? They would have to manually add up the hours for every employee! If so, what is the purpose of having this app? I'm sure this has to be a work in progress

Need full scheduling view on new mobile app

The new app needs to have the scheduling abilities of the old manager app so that the manager can see all the employees on the shifts for the day at one time. This makes it easy when planning the schedule to see an move people from one shift to the next. Here is what it used to look like: 



Now the new scheduling view hides the people listed on each shift and the manager has to click each shift first before being able to see who is on it. This creates a scheduling nightmare that takes much more time and care and really makes putting the schedule together or swapping schedules on the fly almost impossible to be done from the mobile app, or at the very least extremely difficult for all companies like ours that have more than 2 people scheduled on one day. Here is the new view: 


The easy solutuons: 
1) just add an option from the mobile to be able to use the previous more effective view. You could call this at a glance view. 
Or 
2) just replace the new view with the former more efficient version. 
While the new one is perhaps a tad "prettier," every manager I know would desire function over a minor beauty enhancement. They just want an app that works so they can do their jobs. The previous scheduler was more designed for managers. It seems this newer is designed only with employee viewing in mind. 

Please update asap so I can keep my scheduling managers happy!! 



 

Show Paid Sick Leave on Timecards

We would like to have days that are being used as paid sick leave show up on the employee's time card and exported into payroll program.

Allow Managers to Set Notifications for Employees

We want to be able to customize the notifications that our employees receive from Humanity. Please make it possible for managers to set this up for their workforce or allow us to set a default. There are quite a few options per profile that are all set to Always and I don't think it's productive, or a good employee experience to be flooded with notifications. 

Need Training Reports showing completed & date.

We need the ability to create two types of logs or reports to show completed trainings (with ability to print)-

1. A report or log showing who completed a particular training and on what date.  i.e.,
   • Security Awareness Training 2018-Completed-

Kelly Jones 10-3-18
John Smith 10-4-18
Mark Wagoner

2.  A report showing which trainings a particular employee has completed and on what date.

• Kelly Jones Completed Trainings-
  • Security Awareness Training 2018- completed 10-3-18
  • Humanity Basics- completed 9-4-16

Retacke Quiz without editing Training Topic

So, if I assign a topic to all of my supervisors and they go in, do the training, and take the quiz - is there any way that they can retake the quiz later (With me editing the Quiz again and again) if they missed items (I want them to take the quiz as many times as they want until they score well)

I don't want to have to go in and edit the quiz...Instead, when they see that they scored below a 100%, I want them to go back, review the topic content, and retake the quiz - on their own.

One Min Increment Option For Partial Leave Request

As of now, the application allows users to request a partial leave for minimum 15 minutes. This also means that while booking employees on two different partial leaves on a single day, there should be 15 minutes gap between both partial leaves otherwise it will result in an overlapping partial leave if the start time of the second partial leave start where the first partial leave ends. Hence, instead of setting 15 minutes gap between both partial leaves, it would be great if the application allows us to set 1-minute increment so while booking employees to two different partial leaves, we can start the second one right after where the first partial leave ends with 1-minute increment.  

For example, an employee wants to request "Leave Type 1" from 9 am till 1 pm and the "Leave Type 2" from 1 pm till 6 pm. If we set the second partial leave start time to 1 pm, it will give us an overlapping leave error. So there should be an option to set the start time of the second partial leave as 1:01 pm to reduce 15 minutes gap to 1 minute. 

Displaying unfilled shifts w/some employees

When you're on advanced tab and you select individual employees to display their schedule, why can't you also select "unfilled shifts".  I have 30 employees with morning and afternoon shifts. It is difficult to scroll through all 30 of them to look where to put an unfilled shift.  Once I fill an employee's schedule, I would like to unclick them so their schedule is no longer displayed.  Then there are less employees to scroll though when you're looking to fill the rest of the shifts.  Just add another box at the top of the list of employees that says "unfilled shifts".  Then I can check that one and the employees that have not been scheduled already.

Shift Extensions and Pre-Approved Leave

My NABET Union team, per our contract, requests time off well in advance of shits being extended into the next calendar year.

I am requesting the ability to put Leave in before extending the schedule, and not have the approved employee on leave show up as working once the schedule is extended.  

This works in reverse when leave is approved after the schedule is extended; seems easy enough.

automatic email messages

Would be nice if there were a way to generate an automatic message alerting employees that they are reaching/or have reached their limit in absence/leave days. 

Add "Settings" Tab to Modules

It's not intuitive to go to the "Settings" button when I want to adjust settings for a particular module. Instead, there should be a Settings tab in each module that launches us to the settings that apply.

Employee Availability to show on "Leave" Calendar

I have a policy that allows a max of 4 employees to take the same day off but if I have an employee that can't work a specific day then that employee should be included as one of the "off" employees when approving or declining a "leave request". I also allow employees to see co-workers vacations and if they can see that a co-wroker is not available a specific day that will also help to better plan their vacations or PTO.

First and Last Name in Two Separate Fields

I would ask that you consider with your reports that the first and last name are in two separate fields.  This is helpful when running reports so you could alphabetize by last name which is most common when exporting. We don't have any of the payroll systems that are currently a partner with  Humanity so we have to use a time sheet summary report to submit our payroll to the payroll office.  

Thank you for your consideration.

Add Location to Default Group Report Views

When viewing Group Reports one has the ability to select "All Accounts" for reports like Position Summary, or Schedule Summary. Running these for an upcoming week gives me all the employees for all the accounts under my control like I want but it does not tell me which location they are from. Please consider adding the field "Location" to reports like these so the data could be further manipulated in Excel when exported to CSV. Or better yet, allow the end user to select the columns they would like returned when running the Position Summary or Schedule Summary reports. I am certain there are fields available in the query that simply aren't being displayed.

Make Open Shifts available to all employees

I'm requesting the addition of an option that could be toggled on/off to allow ALL employees in our organization to see and request open shifts, regardless of whether or not they have been previously been assigned to the corresponding position.  Our organization allows employees to pick up shifts for different positions and manually activating all positions for each of our employee is not a viable workaround for us.  

Seperate icon for Lunch and Timer for breaks

Raj Singh (Manager) would like to have 2 features added for Breaks. The first is to have a separate icon for the "Lunch Breaks" so that it will distinguish lunch breaks from the other breaks that will help Management know what time did they spend on Lunch break and for other breaks that they took.

The second feature would be "Timer" so that it will show how much break is left for the employee" and then it will end the break according to the timer.

Thanks.

Work Units converted into the time

That would be great if w could convert work units to time, for example every work units equals 30 mins.

template

It would be nice to be able to modify/create/delete templates on my own when creating schedules.  I like the create from template feature but find they don't match the specific time/position for a specified employee.  It would alleviate a step if I were able to modify the templates to match each employee's time/position.

Add Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Currency Please.

Hi There, please add Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) Currency. many thanks
 

Number of shifts scheduled next to employee name

Put the number of shifts a employee is scheduled next to there name. on the schedule screen when you picking shifts

Multi Day Future Availability

It would be great to be able to block out multiple days at a time for future availability. As of right now, hourly employees without vacation or PTO have to select individual dates and then block out the hours they are unavailable. On the same topic, the system defaults to available all day when you add a future availability, but it should default to unavailable here because the system defaults to available for all hours initially. The default should be unavailable for the full day, and those special cases when employees are available part of that day, they can edit to make changes.

Feature Additions

It would be great if we had the option for (paid) feature additions, specifically for our industry the ability for employees to create daily activity reports when they clock into a site.  Currently we have to use Humanity for time sheets and another app for site reports.

Employee View: Display when Available hours

It would be much more helpful for the Employee View to display when employees are available instead of when they are not. It creates a lot of visual clutter, and is not informative. I don't need to know that my employees are unavailable between midnight and 9 am. I just want to know when they are available. Thank you

DO not show timeclock option if it is not availabe

Separate Wall Post and scheduling

We use ours for 3 separate locations. And I would like to be able to have some type of separation between our store locations in at least the Message Wall Posts. Specific to each store not combined under one unit. 

Exp. Store 1 post about needing coverage or store event. But we don't want Store 2 and/or 3 to see those post so they are not confused or misguided by someone from another store post.  

Thank you

 

Advanced Options in Schedule Wizard

It would be so great if we could add additional commands to the Schedule Wizard. Particularly I would like to be able to manipulate the number of employees assigned shift time. Super cool feature, I'd love to see it built out further. 

Drag & Drop 2&4 Week view

Currently Drag & Drop of shifts is only supported in 1 week view, please extend this functionality to 2 & 4 week views

A feature to prevent employees from sending massPM

We would LOVE to have access to a feature that prevents employees from checking every name in the inbox and sending mass messages. We need our employees to be able to send 1 on 1 messages, but that also allows them access to mass messaging. I know they could still send 1 on 1 to everyone individually, but making it harder than it currently is would be great. Thank you for considering.

Add support for (Siri) Shortcuts in iOS 12!

Please add support for Siri Shortcuts in iOS 12! It would be awesome if I could integrate my clock in/clock out and breaks into my shortcuts.

Allow Employee's to request overlapping shifts

If an employee is already booked for one shift, they cannot request to work another shift. It would be very helpful if they could request working overlapping shifts and allowing the scheduler to determine if it would work or not.

Reason for Unavailabilty

When an employee says that they're unavailable it would be great for them to imput the reason for their unavailability. For example, they can block out a couple hours and put "Doctor's Appointment".

Color Coding

To add to that...For a remote site schedule, I would like to be able to change it to a color if the shift is filled:)

Notifications

I would like to see a filter for notifications.
We have several teams/branches listed in the system and staff groups report to different Managers/Co-ordinators.
I would like to select the staff names from whom I would like to receive notifications from.  Instead when I turn on leave notifications (or other notifications) I am inundated with emails from all staff who take leave on a particular day. 
So I would like to limit notifications by location or by staff names.

mobile time clock blocked for some staff only

The ability to allow employees to use the mobile app time clock feature is currently only something you can turn on or off for the entire company. We would like to block most employees from using this feature and allow some specific employees to be able to use it.

Highlight Empty shifts in visual view

We (a large, multi-location business) would like to see the empty shifts either color coded, or otherwise highlighted when looking at all locations in visual view. When my schedulers are looking at several locations at once (10-15) with several positions on at once, it would be helpful for the empty shifts to stand out when in visual view. we do use the advance filter option, but it would just be easier for everyone to see these at a glance.

Point System for tardy employees or call outs

Hello, I was looking to utilize as much of Humanity as possible. In doing so, my work is looking to integrate a point system for tardy employees or employees who call out. I know this is something that Humanity does not currently offer and it could be a great addition to the time keeping functionality of the software. 

Thank you

Changing color as per the shift

That would be great if we could select different colors for the same position or could select color per shift.

Hide specific staff under Shift planning

That would be great if we could hide specific staff members from the schedule. I would like to hide the Managers and Supervisors because they only need to have access to modify the schedule.

insert prompt before changing times

Can we insert a prompt indicating "are you sure you want to change times? Y/N" prompt when interacting with shifts in visual view?

Customise permissions/roles

I would like it so we had more control over permissions or ability to customize permissions and roles. for example, I want supervisor to have control over training module but not have visibility to pay rate and personal addresses.

Sleep mode of Humanity station app on ipad

Lisa MacRae (Manager) would like to have a feature implemented so that while using Humanity station app on ipad it goes to sleep mode when not in use. Currently, when the Humanity station app is running, it does not go to sleep mode when its not been in use like other apps. It would be really helpful if this feature could be imporved.

Thanks. 

Time Sheet Late Summary

ADD AN ABSENT FILTER

What is the simplest way to check for absences?

Option to delete templates in new shift creation

Luigi (Manager) would like to have a very useful option introduced within the New Shift Creation feature where the the templates that are automatically saved could be deleted as well. Those templates which are not required needs to be deleted so they donot pop up while creating shifts and therefore, there should be an option to delete those templates. 


Thanks

Leave Calendar

I would like to have more filters in displaying a leave calendar e.g.
I would like to be able to filter a calendar to show only the staff that report to my area rather than all the staff who are tabled in the system  OR to filter the calendar to only show those people who are from a specific location and who are in my team

I would like to have an option under entitled leave days and remaining leave amount to see the information either as Days or as Hours.  At our institution leave is represented in hours so it is not very helpful if it is represented as days

CHOOSE THE FUNCTION

HI,

It would be nice if when in the event log you could identify what kind of event you are searching for rather than having them all listed. For example if I want to see who posted or deleted a shift or when a staff's profile was deleted you could choose an option that says, deleted profile or shift posted/created, etcl.

thank you

Add an option to export remaining leave days

Hi folks,

I would like to suggest adding an additional report type that would generate a simple 2 column report. One of the columns will be a list of all employees under the account, and the other will be the remaining days for each employee of a given leave type.

To expand on the idea I'll explain what prompted me to suggest it on the first place. In our Humanity profile we have a leave type called "Vacation". As the name suggests, we use it to keep track of the remaining vacation days for our employees. I presume this is a common practice among Humanity users. Today I needed to export a list with the remaining vacation days for all employees. What I needed was a simple two column CSV with one column being a list of all employees, and the other their respective remaining amount for the Vacation leave type.

Unfortunately that is not possible right now. My best options were to use the report types called "Vacations" or "Vacation Summary", but each of these came with problems and complications. The problem with the "Vacations" report is that it doesn't include the remaining amount of the Vacation leave type at all. The Vacations Summary report includes that, however it also includes a lot of unnecessary data. Furthermore, it only includes data for employees that have actually posted a vacation request in the given period of the report. If an employee doesn't have approved or declined vacation for the specific period, they are not included in the list at all.

So I had to go through a bit of hoops, exporting different reports and editing the result multiple times to end up with what I need. It seems to me it would be a commonly used feature to be able to export a list which includes the remaining amount of days for each employee of a given leave type. I hope you would consider my suggestion.

Add break visibility to day shift view

When looking at a day's shifts as a manager handling multiple shift-workers, it's important to know quickly how many staff are rostered at any given moment of the day.  If half of the staff are all on a break at the same time, the entire business could experience crippling workflows for that particular 15 or 30 minutes of break time.  Right now, Humanity doesn't allow this kind of overarching visibility.  Humanity could address this shortfall by having the breaks visible as "mini-bars" embedded in the existing bars of the day shift view, where a large cluster of perfectly-vertically-aligned bars would obviously indicate a "red flag" that breaks needed adjustment so staff could cover for each other's break times.



To give you an idea of what we want to see, the top bar in the above image shows what we currently see.  The bottom bar shows what we need to see to ensure that we don't accidentally schedule overlapping breaks when moving shifts around to accommodate our very flexible staff working arrangements (although your smart IT folks could probably make the "mini-bars" look a lot better than my horrid MS Paint version).  Without this break information we are "flying blind" when adjusting rosters.  There's no point burying the information behind clicks, mouse-overs or in menus, it needs to be visible on the day view and also reflected in the calculations for the forecast hour/day graph.  Thank you for considering!

Pinning shifts

A "pin this shift" option to override the alphabetical/start time sorting and pin a specific shift or group of shifts to the top of the list would be fantastic.

Track breaks

That would be great if we could track the Lunch Break location.

Force notifications of next shifts individually

I have a couple of employees who "don't know they were scheduled for a shift."  I would like to force notifications of shifts for at least 1 month after they miss a shift.  I don't want to do this to EVERY employee though since most are responsible.  I have suggested they enable this on their own, but alas, they do not.

Allow individualized weekends for staff

Deduct weekends from leave requests that corresponds to staff's individualized weekends.

Since we require everyone to work 1 weekend day, everyone has staggered weekends. The current drop down option in leave advanced settings has a drop down menu for weekends but we can't use it since everyone has a different weekend schedule.

If there was a way to designate weekend days or days off for all staff (those working part time would have additional days off that would be deducted from vacation requests) in their profiles or availability & automatically deduct their specific weekend days, that would be great!



 

Max number of staff that can be booked off at once

Have an option for Max number of staff that can be booked off at once for each department & location.

We have 3 locations & several departments within each location so having an option for each individual dept. & location will allow us to use this feature.

Thanks!

 

Comment only if past scheduled shift

Force a comment if clock out is past scheduled shift

Daily View with Tasks and Breaks

I would like to suggest a view that allows you to see those scheduled on a specific day, with their shift, break and task allocation. So if Joe is schedule from 10-7, It would show the shift block, with an hour lunch break from 1-2, and Office time from 3-4, all on a daily view. This will allows us to print the day and see all shifts, breaks and allocations for that day.

Permissions-

I really think (and would utilize ASAP) a feature in permissions to ONLY allow manager to approve vacations or schedule switching , without giving them access to anything with the time clocks.  I don't know why we can't customize the permissions.  
Please let me know if you can do this.
Thank you,
Carina

Specific Positions Visibility to Staffs

I want to allow the staffs to view particular Positions visible to them instead of allowing them to view the entire schedule or only the Positions assigned to them.

With current settings, I can only either allow them to see an entire positions' schedule or only the Positions they're assigned to.

Shift Request

Allow Managers to have a drop down feature for shift requests to view location by location the way the leave request is set up.

Release a shift on behalf of an employee

There should be an option for a Manager/Supervisor/Scheduler to initiate a Trade/Release request on behalf of an employee.

Thank you!

Ability to alter a "work day" and "work week"

In the state of CA, a business owner is allowed to set any 24hr period to calculate overtime so long as it is consistent, the same is with a work week. Please reference the DLSE website:

https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/Glossary.asp?Button1=W#workweek

I've had a hard time finding a company that allows us to set our work day/week. We have night shifts and our workday starts at 10:30p. Also, our work week starts on Saturday and ends on Friday. Therefore.. If someone starts at 11p, works 8 hours. Their time should be calculated onto the following day. So if they were to come back the next day at noon - that would all be considered overtime if they worked 11-7:30 (break included)

Department-Specific Notifications for Managers

We have multiple departments using the Humanity program.
Those of us who manage and schedule staff are registered as "Manager" and we receive ALL notifications from Humanity, even if it doesn't pertain to our specific department.
Example: My Ops Manager was receiving ALL notifications for our Food & Beverage department ("timesheets needing approval", "staff late", etc.)...it was getting so excessive that he had to turn off his notifications, which means he isn't seeing anything that pertains to his staff at all. As you can imagine, this is not useful to him as a department manager with staff to oversee.
According to Humanity Chat Help, if we change his account permission to "Scheduler", it will allow him to see ONLY notifications that pertain to his staff and the shifts that he has created, HOWEVER he loses the ability to create and update positions for his staff -- which is necessary for our business.
It would be ideal, and extremely useful, if there was a way for each "Manager" to be able to select ONLY the Location/Department that they are scheduling for, to choose to receive notifications for a specific Location/Department, AND to retain full Manager Permissions that allows him/her to create new positions, add new employees, etc etc.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter...

Requesting features

I would like to more features being added to Humanity. I see many interesting posts and features being requested but I do not see many being implemented. To stay up to date with the times, I think it's imperative that Humanity and the humanity developers start implementing more feature that are major features in a robust scheduling software. 

Features such as: 

• Public Holidays.  This should be a no-brainer, being able to set dates as public holidays or even better, automatically applied based on the location address & State as all states don't have the same paid holidays. We have been having a "workaround" by creating a position called "Holiday"
• Notifications. "Forgot to check out" Notification is sent as soon as the shift ends. I think there should be a delay before that notification get sent (0mn,15mn,30mm,60mm) that can be set in settings. If a staff member needs a bit more time to complete the project or close a sale I want him to. If I want him to clock out at the end of his shift I would set it to "0", If I appreciate that an employee takes pride in what he is doing I don't mind him clocking out a bit late. The SMS sent also don't include employee details. Who is late? Adding employee name would non make the SMS exceed size as I was told.
• Schedule hours: There needs to be a setting under locations where one can set Opening and Closing time per location. All locations might not have the same scheduled store hours. Seeing in shiftplanning just the hours of operation, or seeing these highlighted would be a nice feature.
• ADP integration:  ADP is the largest Payroll company out there. The export file used is lightweight, the added column with holiday pay requires some manipulation before the file can be exported. Using a different rate card creates an extras col in the export file that needs to be merged with the Overtime column.
• Overtime: Different rules apply for different states. In some states Sunday is overtime rate in others, it isn't. Having to use positions to accommodate this is absurd. This should be a setting in location.
• Training Section: Training section is great however documents need to be protected to avoid accidental deletion. If deleted they should get archived. Images and such need to be saved to the humanity servers and not elsewhere.
• Staff  Details:  Being able to upload form for the staff member to fill upon hiring. W4, I9, confidentiality agreement....

I would lie to see more features and improvements added to humanity. Customer request need be addressed.

Mobile app

It would be very helpful if our staff could view more than 3-4 weeks ahead for the schedule.

Update "Notes" in Series separately from "Title"

Request to have ability to update "Notes" in Series separately from "Title" and "Site".

Our Titles have unique text for the 1st shift and the last shift. If we update notes, then the titles all become the same which is a big problem for us. 

Sending direct sms messages to staff members

Jessika Montes (Manager) would like to have a feature introduced where the Managers would be able to send sms messages directly to the staff members instead of using Message inbox/ wall feature. 

Thanks.

Employees at Multiple Locations in Group Accounts

Hey folks - We are using the Group Accounts but have a problem with employees who work at multiple locations. The suggested work-around actually creates two instances of the same employee. This creates room for double booking, lack of communication, confusion with swaps and shift approval, missed day off requests/availability, and missed training. 

There are two scenarios where the borrowing of employees happens for us:

• Multiple locations within commuting distance so if a location is short and needs an employee, locations will borrow staff. 
• Students who work for us in one city but go to school in another state and work there when they go to school - then back in the original city when they're home on break, then back to school.

The work-around of having employees use email login for one location and then user ID number at another location doesn't work for scenario number one - which is more than half of our locations. Scenario two could technically work with this work-around if they're diligent with their availability/time off requests.... which is a nice idea but not practical. The problem with the work around is that we don't know if they've been scheduled at a child if we're in another child since this work-around technically creates two accounts. We also are not able to track the performance, notes, skills, or anything else for each employee.

Ideally, the employee would be set up with a primary location but also locations they are eligible to work at (which could be added to - for example if they live and work in Boston but then go to do a work study in Florida with Disney and wanted to work while there.) When the manager goes in to do the schedule, they would set the schedule with their default employees. Then if they needed to borrow, they could click a box to see who is available. If the Manager is using the Schedule Wizard, it would only consider the default employees for that location. Then if there were empty spots, they would suggest a borrowed employee. There could also be a checkbox in that area that asks if borrowed employees could be considered when spitting out the schedule. 

Settings to be considered...

• Requiring permission from the manager of the child/parent account where an employee is being borrowed from or just automatically add the employee to whatever schedule is published first
• Allowing/not allowing borrowing employees across the groups
• Require confirmation on published shifts for borrowed employees

I'm happy to tease this out further with your team as well.
 

Posting Pictures

I run a buisness that needs to be in top condition and look clean as well as maintained every day.  A good way for me to let my employees understand an issue is being able to post a picture where everyone could see it (message wall). I could give a visual and explain why we need to be following the rules.  

first tab on clock in page

Can it be changed from capture image to clock in to capture image. Some of the employees think they are clocking in because it says to clock in. if it just said capture image and leave the tab to clock in below that tab.

Select Positions as default under Shift planning

That would be great if we could select specific positions to be visible in Shifts Overview? Now, when we sign in, we see all positions overview. We want to select primary position like primary location in the profile.

View Reports on Mobile app

That would be great and more convenient if we could view Reports o Mobile application.

Leave/Unapproved

We sometimes have instances where we need to unapprove a leave (sometimes they are canceling and then choosing a different day). It would be nice when we unappprove the leave we can put in notes for the reason why so we have record. Did they cancel due to the company asking? the employee wanting a different day? They were sick and want to use a PTO/Vacation day? All information important to know. 

This leads me to a 2nd point. Once we unaproove after it has already been approved, the request disappears! (You can do some research in the event log, but nothing easy for a report). This information should be available to be seen in the Vacation Summary Report (just like requests denied originally go). 

Leave Schedule

It would be extremely helpful to have all leave requests- both approved and pending- located in one spot. If the pending requests can show up on the leave schedule that would be so helpful in planning our shifts. 
Thank you! 

Scheduler to be able to add/remove staff members

King Rhodes (Manager) would like to have a feature to be added where the Manager can enable the option for Schedulers to be able to add new staff members and add to positions that he is managing and also he could remove/deactivate staff members for the same positions as well.

Thanks.

Account Type Custom Setup Feature

Account Type Custom Setup Feature:
I am recommending that here a way when we are assigning our personnel “account types” to give our “Scheduler” the ability to be able to add, deactivate, activate, remove an employe.  There needs to be more flexibility in this area because each office is ran differently and require different level of permission/access they would want to give their employees. There should be a custom “account types” setup feature that gives managers the ability to decide how much access we want to give to each personal. Right now it is too cookie-cutter, for example we need a scheduler account type with some access of the supervisor account type. Giving our scheduler account type the ability to add/delete/deactivate or restore personal they have been given access to schedule in the system but not supervisor access.
 

Unpublished shifts in lighter color than published

Suggest you indicate unpublished versus published shifts by making them look different rather than just having a rollover that indicates it is unpublished. 

Include hours for the Entitled Leave Days

I would like to request the ability to include hours for the Entitled Leave Days for an employee.  When we were transitioning over to Humanity we were not able to input accurate numbers since most of our employees didn't have leave that was rounded to the day.  And now, playing catch up, I've run into the same problem.

Add a pay rate for salaried employees

It would be nice to have a pay rate for salaried employees without converting their salary into an hourly wage.  I want to include them on the schedule and see their salary calculated on the position cost report.

Staff Payroll

That would be great if I could schedule a salaried person, and have their wage calculated in the cost by position report and without breaking down their salary into an hourly rate.

Locking Schedule

Hi Humanity, 


Is there any possibility of you guys adding an auto lock feature so whenever I publish my week's schedule I have to unlock it before I can actually change anything. Many times now I have accidentally modified a shift or schedule or bunch of schedules in the past because I was on the wrong date and didn't realize it or I just dragged my mouse across accidentally.

 

Can you add the assignments to sections

Right not you have to add each topic to a position/user/etc...I wanted to have the capability to add whole sections to positions.

Kudo system

Have a Kudo recognition feature that allows staff and management to recognise and celebrate something about colleagues 

Viewing available leave

Each staff can see their own available leave on their dashboard

Undo button for miscellaneous changes

There has to be an "UNDO" button for reverting other changes in the account besides Shift Deletion.

Restrict Employees Access to Others Schedules

We would benefit from having a feature such as limiting employees from seeing each others schedule. 

Skills notification for employees & supervisors

Currently notification related to expiring skills are only seen by managers.  Since we use the skills to manage certifications that do expire, we would like to have the option to allow the notifications that a skill is upcoming be sent to employees as well as schedulers & supervisors that have that employee under them.
