break rules

currently, the break rules are set up in the following:
If an employee works a minimum of 6 hours, an employee get automatically deducted 30 minutes of unpaid break time.

I need the break rules to be set up so that if an employee works a minimum of 6 hours, the manager will be notified that the employee did not take a 30 minute break. I DON'T want automatic deduction as it is illegal to not pay an employee under California law if an employee actually worked 6 hours and we only pay them 5.5. hours instead.


 

Even Log Audit Trail

Doesn't show who created/deleted/updated any admin settings, such as break rules. Only shows that an admin has updated a setting. Need more detail showing what was updated/created/deleted.

Adding the Breaks without 5 Minute Increments

Hi, 

We use the Time Clock Module to track the employee attendance and breaks, and often the employees forget to mark their breaks using the time clock, in such instances, we have to add the breaks manually, but due to the system limitation, we can only add the breaks in 5-minute increments. 

It would be a great help if we have the ability to add the breaks without 5-minute increments since this would be helpful in maintaining the accurate records. 

Any improvement in this regard would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Employee having access to see 'On Leave' Widget

Only supervisor status and above can see who is on leave at any given time. For people who are assigning shifts it is impossible to see who is out and therefore can run the risk of assigning cases to people on leave. If we give them access to be a supervisor that allows them to have full access to the whole sites and floods their emails with notifications not intended for them. We want to make it possible to have notification options or even be able to decide what permissions each employee has not have them premade. 

Photo must be taken when checking out. Not before.

Right now an emplyee can take a photo at 7pm, leave the page open, and a coworker checks him out at 9pm. I would like to make sure the camera memory dumps the photo if its not used within 5 minutes of taking it.

 

Report for pending availability entries

Would love to see a report for pending availability entries.  I struggle with the functionality of the availability piece of Humanity.  I cannot automatically accept or reject availability request.  We are a 24/7 site.  I have some staff who will say that they are not available to work for than their FTE requirement!   Since we schedule in 4 week blocks, there is flexibiltiy to a point.

Hopefully a report to be downloaded to excel where I could sort by person, date, etc.

thanks, for your consideration

weekend dates with some altered font/shading/other

We schedule in 4 week increments.  We schedule some staff on one weekend per 4 week block - and that weekend can rotate.  It's hard to keep track of the weekend dates because we have to have our calendar set to correspond with our pay-periods.  (run Fri to Thurs, which means the calendars in Humanity all start on a Friday)  :(

Would love to see some sort of alternate markings on the date or column shading for Sat & Sun.  It could be similar to how you mark the holidays.  

We are a 24/7  hospital and have >100 employees.

thanks for your consideration.

Availability: view in a 4 week schedule view

Would love to see availability entries in a 4 week schedule view.  (currently only viewable in a week view)
We schedule in 4 week increments and have rotations between AM/PM and weekends. 
We schedule some staff on one weekend per 4 week block - and that weekend can rotate.  
It's hard to keep track of the time blocks (in a week only view) with >100 employees.  
We are a 24/7  hospital.

thanks for your consideration. 

 

Remaining Leave days report

We want to get a report of the remaining leave days per employee.

The vacation summary report does not show the remaining leave days of those employees who have not yet applied for any leave.

Open shifts for deleted employee

When an employee gets deleted, it would be nice for all schedule admins to receive a report of all shifts that person was scheduled for so that they can be rescheduled. We recently had a situation where there was no one to fill a shift and we didn't realize it because the employee who was scheduled had been deleted.

Position Parameters

It would be nice to select a time window that a certain number of people in a position must be present. For example; if a restaurant needs 2 managers present from 11am-2pm, it would be nice to receive a conflict notification stating that at least 2 members from that position aren't present during that current time frame, if they aren't scheduled. 

Report to view open shifts request

A report to view open shift requests in the order they were requested. The employee who requests first should be listed at the top.

Humanity Station does not show the list

Summary: Humanity Station does not show the list of employees instead it shoes the Gallery view with pictures.

Detail:

I just set up 2 new Time Clock Terminals.
One with User List as List and one with User list as Search Box and both look like the Gallery.

Question: Is there an option just to have a list instead of seeing the pictures on the humanity station the whole time?

Automatically assign staff to new position

If a new position in a specific city has been created it would be helpful to assign all staff in that city to the new position with one click instead of having to do it manually.  That would be a very helpful feature.

Automatically assign staff to new position

If a new position in a specific city has been created it would be helpful to assign all staff in that city to the new position with one click instead of having to do it manually.  That would be a very helpful feature.

disable timeclock feature for individuals

We have hourly and salary employees. Not all salary employees are required to clock in/out. Hourly employees are all required to use the time clock. All employees are required to have a published schedule. I would like a feature that allows us to disable the time clock feature for individual employees so they are still on the schedule but are not seen as "late to work" when they don't use the time clock. 

Weekend Shifts rotation

Tammie (Manager) requirement is to equally rotate weekends amongst the employees and due to this they also get one day off monday-fri on the week they dont have a weekend off.

Thanks.

Reminder to create shifts on certain days

If there was a notification when I try to schedule on those days and if I did it at 10 or a later time I can get a message stating 8 am slot needs to be book or the name of the special event pops up-alerting me to book correctly. 

On certain days for example Tues/Thursday and Saturday 09:00 am-11:00 am we have a special event. If someone goes into Humanity and schedules then can overlook this by scheduling at a later time like 10:00 am.

Account Name & Location Name

We need 'Account Name & Location Name' in the Crib Sheet report so that we would easily find out which account the report we have on a file.
It shows 'Default Location' for 'Primary Location'. It should show the name regardless of 'Primary' or 'Additional' Location;
the child account has.

Thank you!

New Mobile Provider

I would like a new carrier to be added US based. Xfinity/Comcast.

New Mobile Provider

I would like a new carrier to be added US based. Xfinity/Comcast.

Gender Identity

In the details options for Gender when editing a staff member, the options are binary—male or female. This won't meet the needs of our staff. Possible to add a fill-in-the-blank option? This would help our team remain inclusive of all gender identities among our staff.

Training quizzes

We would love to have "fill in the blank" or write your own answer option on training tests. 

Hourly leave rather than by the Day

Currently we are only allowed to give leave days in "number of days". When giving compensatory time or time that has been brought in from the previous year, giving leave in hourly increments would be a helpful option. Staff can take their time in hourly portions, managers should be allowed to give time in hourly portions.

leave request

It would help to be able to search leave request by employee name

Activation Email failure report required

Once sending bulk activation emails, in my opinion, it would be extremely helpful for managers to be able to generate a report from the Reports -or- Staff module confirming the email received/failed status. 

As in many cases, there are email aliases being used by employees and sometimes the email servers do not accept alias email addresses and return an error. Sending out a bulk activation via Humanity does not provide us with this feature so a report from your backend servers sounds super helpful. 

Time clock Rules Exception for a few employees.

When the following options are in action:
 

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

The system does not allow the employees to be able to clock-in if they DO NOT have a shift.

We want a few employees to be able to clock-in/out with the above-mentioned options enabled for the rest of the employees.

Exempt employees from clock-in rules

Allow an option to exempt certain employees from clock-in restriction rules. For example, our bookkeeper works flexible hours every day but the rest of the staff follow a tight schedule. She has a hard time recording her times because she is constantly getting stuck in the clock-in restrictions (can't clock in too early before a shift, too late, etc). Right now we just give her a 24/7 schedule to get around that issue but that then throws up and clogs up all sorts of warnings during schedule creation. 

Manager code override option on iPad time clocks

Allow for a manager code to be able to override restrictions such as "clock-in early", etc. If an employee needs to start earlier than their scheduled time, it's much faster and more convenient to just enter a code on the iPad time clock rather than go through the manual time clock option on a manager's phone. 

GPS Compatibility with the Shift Planning

Hi,

We would like to compare the address added in the Staff profile with the location address of the shift. For example, it would be great if the scheduler can see the employees who live within 10 miles of the shift location, so they can schedule them accordingly. 

This would be really helpful for us and would be a powerful tool to be added to Humanity. Thanks!

 

GPS Tracking & Staff Monitoring

Hi, 

We're a security company and we would like to have the staff monitoring capabilities added to the existing time clock functionality along with the GPS. 

Currently. our employees have to take a picture every 30 minutes, this is to ensure that they're on the location, and we accomplish this by having them clock out and clock in every 30 minutes since it captures their location and the picture as well. 

However, it creates a mess when it comes to dealing with those timesheets. so we were hoping if the staff monitoring capabilities can be added, so the employees can take the pictures and send their location without having to clock out and then clock back in. 

Any improvement in regard would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if this can be implemented. Thanks!

Payroll Provider

Hello!

We are a company in Canada. We are changing our payroll system to one of the biggest payroll provider in Canada, Employeur D. This provider has more than 25 000 companies on it in Canada. Would it be possible to integrate this provider in the payroll section? Thanks!

Report of timesheets - Group/Subtotal by Location

We use the Location field to track our time in different departments.  I'd like to be able to get payroll reports (like Timesheet Summary) that are grouped and subtotaled by location for a selected time period.   

'Primary Location' in a filter

'Primary Location' should be appearing as an option in the 'Location' drop-down menu.

Publish issue...

Hello i have suggestion 
can we have an option which allow or revoke publsihing of schedule on usernames 

example one user name can have the ability to publish the schedule of next week like only schedule mgr
and the other dispatchers can be able to publish the current week schedule if any changes needed... 

please that is a big issue...

Time increments

My suggestions: to be able to enter the shift time in min increments, for example, the shift starts at 2:10pm - 8:40pm. At the moment we are only able to do this in 15 min increments.
Thank you
Susanne

Shifts Confirmed vs Shifts Scheduled (Variance)

Hello! I would love to see a report that compares the Shifts Scheduled Report to the Shifts Confirmed Report and gives a variance by employee, position, and total hous if possible. Thanks!

I

Hi I schedule weekends months out at a time, and it would be much easier if I could view "weekends only" as an option instead of only today, one week, one month etc .
Please consider this as an option to make it easier for us.
Thanks. Jan

Report that shows break times

It would be helpful for us to know when people are taking their breaks. We have another task tracking system so it would be a good comparison tool for us to know that the reason certain tasks are not being picked up is because people are on break at that time.

Employees approve timesheets before Final approval

Annessa (Manager) suggests that there should be an option for the employees to be required to check and approve their individual times before a manager submits a final approval. That will be helpful for the Manager so this could be double-checked before the Manager approved the timesheets if there are any changes required or any other important discussion so that Manager would not have to deal with editting timesheets in the future as the employees has already confirmed their times. 

Certain date availability/default position view

Hi! It would be great if I could set an employee's availability to begin on a certain date instead of a certain number of weeks out. I employ a number of college students so their schedule changes each semester and for summers. I would also like to be able to have specific positions automatically show when I open up shiftplanning so that I don't have to click each of the ones I want to show each time I open it up. Thanks so much!!

Shift approval Tick mark for approved shifts

Diana (Manager) has strongly recommened to get the "Tick mark" option for approved shifts back in the shift approval feature. 

The developers have made some changes, so that approved shifts can be seen by clicking on the shift and it will show that this shift has been approved, but the that Tick mark doesnt show up anymore where you could just hover over every shift to make sure none had been missed. That is a very useful feature and the management wants to get it back.

Thanks. 

Forecasting in the 2 week/4 week view

I want to see the forecasting in the Two weeks and 4 weeks view.

Auto Approval

Hi Team, 

We want to add an option then any time clock added manually should come to Mager's or approver Dashboard for approval in case the auto-approval feature is enabled. 

Thank you!

Report for ALL Confirmed Hours

It would be helpful to be able to pull a report that includes both confirmed hours, and approved time-sheets, so that only one report needs to be pulled to see all approved hours worked. Currently, I need to pull two different reports for payroll, and it is expretemly inefficient. 

Custom Report Field

It would be helpful if we could pull cell phone numbers into custom reports (ie Shifts scheduled).  Thank you

Leave Management sorting

It would be helpful if the list of employee leaves could be sorted by name or skill.

8 weeks view

As a manager on my account, our scheduling & business needs exceed the 4 weeks mode. I would suggest that an Eight weeks mode should also be considered in the application. 

Time Sheet Formatting

First I want to say that I have been a customer to ShiftPlanning/Humanity.com since March of 2013, and I do love the program.

What we need at the Agency i am at currently is a way to format the time sheets that we print from the Payroll section to include a specific header and footer. The footer needs to include only 2 signature lines, one for the employee and 1 for the supervisor. This can be done with your scheduling section, but not in payroll. How we have remedied this for now, is we pre-print up paper to include signature lines at the bottom of blank paper, with the logo on top, and we use this paper to print each of the time sheets.

This is what we have to work with:



Here's a screenshot of the schedule with the signature lines added to the bottom. This is what i need to do with the payroll reports:



In addition, we should be able to pick a range and select to print up all the time sheet reports at once instead of checking and unchecking each individual time sheet times 70 staff members. 

To have these 2 features would save us a lot of time.
 

Notification Options

Requesting the ability in Settings to have two check boxes for email notifications: One to notify employees, the other to notify schedulers/managers, or specific schedulers only. 
With our large staff, we need to be sure employees get emails about all changes/time off/shift pickups, however our large global scheduling staff doesn't need to get an email about every little thing that doesn't relate to their team. 

Please make this happen, if possible! Thanks!

List Locations Alphabetically

This is true for both the payroll and reports sections.  When choosing specific locations or positions to filter reports by, the list seems to be sorted by the creation date rather than by the name.  This is becoming very cumbersome as we continue to add new locations and positions and are trying to locate them in the list.  I requested this via the help desk but they told me it was not an issue with the software and therefore would need to be addressed via a feature request.  Thanks.

View entire month at a time

We need to be able to view shifts for the entire month at a time. The 4 week view does not give us that view because sometimes a month is longer than 4 weeks, or the first day of the month starts during the week. We would like to have the ability to select month view so we can see it and print it out. Without it, we will have to print out multiple views of the month.

Auto Display- ONLY Employees on Shift on the DAY

It would be nice if it has a function to automatically display the schedules of only the employees who are working on the particular day selected when you select "ShiftPlanning" + "Day" + "Employee View".

Shifts to Publish

It would be great if it told me which shifts needed to be published instead of making me go through the entire calendar.  It's so time consuming and I don't always find which shift needs to be published.

Vacations approval for multiple possitions

Hi,

When a manager needs to approve vacation requests of people on different position, this can only be done position by position. Having multiple choice would ease our work and save time. Can you consider this for future upgrades?

Employee Tracking Via GPS..

My Suggestion Now Is that You Make It So I Can See Where My Employees Are At ALL Times While Being At Work. 

That Way, They Can’t Clock In And Leave Their Post Without Me Knowing About It. That’s the Issue I Am Having With Them Right Now. They Clock In And Leave the Post Without Me Knowing. 

Accountant Profile Email Notifications

Can the accountant profile include a setting, similar to Scheduler and Manager, where they can enable/disable email notifications for employees that are late? Besides running reports, our team has a use case for them to be notified of that lateness and actioning on it that day. We want them have an email telling them they should run a report for tardiness that day, rather than just each week. 

Max Hours per Week without Triggering Overtime

It would be really helpful for us to set a Max Hours Per Week that staff require permission to pick up shifts before going over (in our case, 29.5 hours), without triggering the Overtime category for those hours when approved, since overtime is still only paid working over 40 hours.

Shift release/trade option

 Our student employee shifts are much shorter during the school year, so it would be nice if the system allowed them to see a shift that is available on the same day they are scheduled to work. This would allow them to work more hours when possible. Sometimes it's a struggle to get coverage, so giving everyone the option to pick up a shift (if they aren't already scheduled) would be very beneficial. Thank you. 

100% Full View of the Shiftplanning Schedule

Have the ability to hide the top bar for a completely uninterrupted full view of the ShiftPlanning Schedule. My Schedule usually has 10+ rows in the position view. It is very helpful when planning logistics if I can see what all of our equipment and employees are doing at the same time.

Pressing F11 hides my browser top bar but it would be nice to hide the Humanity top bar as well. It is quite large and this is valuable screen real estate! Currently I have to zoom out to fit all rows on the screen at once and the text becomes small and hard to read.

Reports in Alphabetical Order

It would be nice to be able to toggle alphabetical order in reports from first name basis to last name or vice versa depending on how your staff List is set up.

Salary employees

As a member of management i am a salaried employee, and therefore I do not clock in or out. However i put my shifts on the shift planning. I get notices for every shift that i am late or need to clock in.

It would be nice if there was an "overide" feature or something similar to allow me to put myself on the schedule without clocking in.

Thank you!
Trisha Mielke
 

Adding two emails to the Profile

It would be helpful if there was a CC: function so that notifications could be received remotely.

Open Shift Notifications to only Available Staff

Hello,

When there is an open shift available for pickup, and you Publish the shift, it should only send the email notification that the shift is available for pickup to those staff members who are:
1.) Not already assigned to another shift over the same timeframe
2.) Not marked as being on Vacation over that timeframe. 

In other words, it should only send the notification to those who are available to pick up the shift. 

Also, I would like the option to customize the verbiage on the email notifications. 

Thanks!
 

Add "day" to shift acknowledgement screen

Hi,

I'd like to request that you add "day" to the shift acknowledgement screen. It's sometimes very difficult to understand what's being assigned to you and when without that additional information when you're looking at multiple shifts across multiple days and times back-to-back. It would be handy to see "Saturday" or "Monday" to help staff understand their schedule better. I don't think this would be a major development undertaking, but it would make a big difference in usability for staff.

Report of shifts trades / give away

I would like to see a report that tracks shift trades / shift give away's.

The Report should include
Date requested
Date of shift trade Requester 
Requester original shift
Acceptor original shift

At my business I have to schedule the part time staff with equal hours. Once I have created the schedule they can trade or give away their shifts at their own discretion. 

Having a report to track this information would be helpful to schedule more efficiently. 
This would also be useful to have the data in the event a staff member is concerned about their hours. 

It seems like "event logs" is on the right track but is lacking all of the relevant information.  

Positions and Timeclock

My employees have to jump threw a lot of hoops if they want to select their position when clocking in on their phone.  If they don't then their manager doesn't see their hours and it causes a lot of problems come pay day.  Since these employees only have one position it should automatically go to their position as default. 

For Employees that have multiple positions their should be a simple way of doing this without multiple clicks.

Primary Location Filter

There needs to be an easy way to view the shifts for the Primary Location only without having to select each position.  It's a single click solution for the Additional Locations, and a single click solution (Schedule Overview) for all locations, but requires multiple clicks for me to view only the Primary Location.

Overnight Shift should be shown in Split

Hi Team, 

 

I would like that a schedule should show those hours split, between the two days on the schedule

Thank you

Import Shifts to Support Break Schedules

We have to manually add breaks for each shift that we create and this is very tie consuming. We would like to be able to use the import feature and have it support scheduled breaks to add to the shift upon creating shifts in bulk. This is a very high priority request for our company.

Disable Google Calendars

Currently employees have the option to sync with Google calendars and this connectivity continues even after an employee has been terminated and deleted from Humanity.  This is a huge security concern.  Once an employee has been terminated, the employer must have the ability to remove them from all company access.  Humanity has created a loophole for former employees to continue to receive information about new hires and who is working, when.  This is not acceptable.  You must close this at once!

Clearly identify empty shifts

In Shiftplanning, empty shifts look just like complete shifts, save for reading "no employee" rather than an employee's name. I really need a way to filter these out or two have a conflict marked at empty shifts, or perhaps identify them in red instead of the standard color. I should be able to quickly scan my schedule for the next two weeks and see where my holes are at a glance so that I can quickly fill them, rather than having to check every single shift. Please make this adjustment for better usability. 

Notification of shift changes

Notification when staff members have shifts that change date, time, and/or position would be great!

Color Coding Employees in Same Position

It would be fantastic if we could color code employees who have the same position.  For example, the majority of our employees are in the same position.  When I look at the month-view, I cannot really decipher, at first glance, how many shifts a particular employee is scheduled for that week (unless I read their names) because all the blocks are the same color.  If each employee was allowed to be assigned a different color, I would be able to determine immediately without having to read the fine print of employee name. Just a suggestion that would greatly help me!

Thank you!

Add Tenure and Start Date to Staff Overview

Please add the start date (existing field) to the Employee Details view so you don't have to click 'Edit Details' to view.

Please add Tenure (new calculated field) to Employee Details so you can see at a glance how long the employee has been with the organization.  This is important for understanding vacation calculations, etc.

"Hours" instead of "Days"

It would be really nice if the LEAVE module would allow "hours" as an option instead of just "days".  The reason that I request this option is that in the State of Vermont, where our business is located, there is a fairly new state law that employers must offer their employees a certain amount of paid sick "hours" depending on how many hours that they work per week.  For example, if an employee works and average of 18 hours per week, the employer is required to give that employee 18 hours per year of paid sick leave.  We have 5-hour, 8-hour and 10-hour work shifts, so it makes it tricky to use and track "days" instead of "hours" for our leave time.

Please let me know if this might be a Humanity feature in the near future.

Thank you!
Mary

Dashboard

Allow every staff on my account to see the "shift available" feature on the dashboard section on the left bar. I can currently see it but my other staff cannot. I tried looking through settings and cannot see why they are not able to access it to pick up shifts.

implement the "7-minute rule" when rounding

California has the "7-minute rule" for rounding.  Can you please give the option to round to 7 minutes up or down.
It is listed under the U.S. Department of Labor fact sheets.  So to me this is an important rounding time.
 

hide managers from the shift planning tab

the managers do not have a dedicated schedule & I wanted them to be removed from the shift planning page where everybody else is from operations team. I would like to see this feature. Currently, it is clouding the view. 

TimeClock Audit Log

Hey!

When someone is approving, un-approving, and editing timeclocks...
Their higher ups need to clearly see that. 
Going to settings to check the event log is a pain to run through.

Each shift that has been edited needs to be have an asterisk by it or be a different color and a system generated log lets the viewer see which user edited it and what was done. 

As a business owner, labor is the easiest place to lose money besides theft. 
We should be able to see each edit made to each shift by simply viewing the shift. 

Trax Payroll

Would like to upload timesheets into Trax Payroll but it is not an option for export.

Weekly availability with future start/end dates

Right now, there are only two options for changing availability: daily on a future date or weekly with no start/end date (so by default, it starts immediately and never ends).  Please allow employees to request future availability changes with a future start and end date (or even a start date would be sufficient) so that we don't have to add it day by day.  For instance, we have employees who are leaving for college and are unavailable for while they are at college.  We need them to enter that information weeks before they leave (and before the come back) to allow us to schedule appropriately.  Thanks for your consideration.

Simplify Process of Covering Leave Conflict Shifts

When an employee is approved for a leave request (or requests), simplify the process of having the shifts they're scheduled on during this period picked up with a single button interface ("offer all shifts for trade" or something along these lines).

Remove Upcoming Shifts when Employee Deactivated

When someone is deactivated, there is no easy way to remove / replace all of their upcoming shifts. I have employees that had 600+ shifts in the future, and these need to be deleted in 6 week increments, with new shifts added.
This takes 1-2 hours each time an employee leaves, and this occurs 5-7 times a year.

Leave Rollovers

Requesting leave rollovers from one year to the next. Employees get 25 days of leave and I have to move these leave days over one by one at the end of each year.

Time changes not handled correctly in Chile

Daylight savings time is a big issue us, and whenever the time changes, we are online at 1159p and generally spends a few hours at least changing shifts and ensuring all the schedules are still correct. 

Multiple manager approvals for leave requests

Requesting multiple manager approvals for leave requests – currently experiencing issues when Manager A approved a vacation request for an employee, and Manager B who currently has that employee scheduled for shifts is not alerted and often ends up with employees not showing up for shifts that they thought were taken care of.

Late Summary Report & Attendance Report

We would like to have an improvement in the reports area, we would like to see a report that shows only those employee who was late and not everybody, currently the report shows both categories late and not late, same like that we need a report that shows no. of employees who were absent along with there position and shift timing and date. 

Time Zone Adjustments - global view

I have a global operation, what I would like to see is that on the shift planning display, if I have scheduled an employee in China from 8a-5p, I do not want the display to show them as 8a-5p in MY TIME ZONE, it should display it as they are scheduled in CHINA, so what it should show is that employee works US (East Coast time) +13 hours.  This way it shows me how I have coverage around the clock, not everything bunched up in my time zone.

Timeclock Flexibility Feature

It would be nice if Humanity allowed greater flexibility in its Timeclock.  I don't always need to micromanage the hours and shifts my employees are working.  For select employees, I'd rather allow them the flexibility to choose their own weekly schedule without exceeding a specific number of hours worked per week.  On occasion, my employees have to work unpredictable hours depending on who's taking time off, or if we need to work on Saturday or Sunday...or maybe there's a specific day of the week that they need to take off work, but they want to make up the hours during the other days of the week.  

So I'd REALLY like a feature that would limit an employee from clocking in more than a set number of hours per week (say 40-45) without forcing them to work within the confines of a specific schedule or shift that I create.  Currently, Humanity will still allow them to clock in after the weekly limit is exceeded and just note overtime hours are being worked. That's not particularly helpful to me.   

MYOB IMS for Payroll

In New Zealand we use MYOB IMS for payroll. That would be great if you could add the option 'MYOB IMS' for Payroll purposes.

Thank you!

forum

I would like a forum feature. I want to be able to post policies and guidelines for the staff members and don't feel like the message wall is the efficient way to do so. I don't want to bog down the message wall. I would like a separate section to post these kind of things.

adding possibility to delete users in Bulk Edit

Hi Humanity
It would be so helpful to select more than one user and delete them in one click. Could you add this option to the Bulk Edit Window?
Also it would be usefull to have an "send activation e-mail now!" button or Manually Activate button in Bulk Edit. 
Thank you very much.

Sick day requests that reflect on timeclock/sched

Hello Humanity, I have noticed that many other members have concerns regarding absences, as do I.
I have a suggestion to that effect. I would like to see a feature that allows staff to clock out as absent from an active shift but it also sends a notice to the manager on staff that allows them to confirm the fact that they left their shift due to absent and the reason. This will then change the time slot of that employee on their schedule to read 'left sick' and also have a notice on their time clock that states that they left absent and the name of manager that authorized them to leave. It would also be nice if humanity would question an employee on their next shift why their previous shift was missed?  Did they call in  sick and not come in to work at all that day, they they switch shifts with someone?? Same process would occur where manager on that shift would need to validate the sick day, and that info would show on the schedule and timeclock. I have many employees who call in sick and even though I ask them to notify me, they do not and I have an increasingly difficult time tracking this especially because our labor laws state that the first 2 sick days are paid for by the employer.
Thank you for your consideration

Vacation Renews on Anniversary Date

We are not able to track available vacation days through Humanity because our vacation days renew on our anniversary dates rather than at the beginning of the year.  I'm sure we are not the only ones to do it this way because this way avoids everyone taking their unused vacation all at once at the end of the year.  It would be VERY helpful if we could have the choice of renewing vacation days on the anniversary or hire date (which is already tracked) or at the beginning of the year!

Time Clock Rounding and Restrictions

That would be great if we could round the time clock to the nearest 15 (and to round up). However, I also want a 10 minute grace period. There should be a grace period option in time clock settings. 

Employees can view shifts in advance Settings

Hello, we are interested in being able to let employees view shifts *7 weeks* in advance from the current date. please add 7 weeks as an option for the "Employees can view shifts in advance from the current date" dropdown

Thank you!

Reports by Shift Title

I would like to be able to run reports using the shift title. So I can see how many jobs I did last year as opposed to how many shifts or hours were scheduled. Ex: Rodeo 123 is a Friday, Saturday and Sunday event, I have scheduled 8 shifts for this event but I want to be able to have it combined in the report to show the rodeo as 1 job not 8 jobs as it had 8 shifts within the job.

Notification control

I need more control over the notifications my employees get.  I've come to understand that my staff gets notified for a previously scheduled shift, if I make more changes, even before I publish them. This causes confusion as many times I make changes and have to make more changes in different views to get everything correct and want to be able to notify them when I'm done, not  have them get multiple notifications during the process.

Thanks

Emergency Contact Info Fields

Hello, 

I would love to see an additional section in Employee Details for adding emergency contact info.  

Shift planning

Hello.  We need for all employees to be able to view who they are working with across all shifts and locations.  Right now they can only view the shift times but the name field is blank.  Please add the capability to view employee names so that our staff can see who they are working with at any given time.  Thank you.

GPS Report.

Hi. I would like there to be a report that shows the employee GPS location along with their clock in/outs. 

Unable to check Clockin/out/task

Hello, we have discovered that we are unable to access our employees completion of task modules, where they checked in as well with ensuring that they are able to check in and out from remote locations being tied together. 



Thank you, Nick Anderson. 

Restrict to specific employees.

Hi. I would like the timeclock feature to have the ability to be restricted to specific employees and not all. I would like few of my employees to be able to clock in from anywhere while all the rest should be restricted to specific locations. 

Disable clocking in function

We would like to be able to disable the clocking in function for certain employees as only part time and seasonal staff use the clocking in function and all our full time staff appear every day as late for work, if we could set each employee individually we wouldn't be sending out notification emails saying an employee is late when they are at work.

Leave Reset Date

We go by a fiscal year so our leaves being reset in January does not work for us.  We would like to be able to reset the leave date in August.

Also, we would like to track leave by hours not days.

Allow Managers to set notifications

I want to be able to set my employees notifications so I can make sure they get the important things like shift trades and wall messages.

Denials of Leave Requets

When I deny a Leave Request, it allows me to put in the notes why we denied it. This is a great feature but it doesn't tell the employee why it was denied. Is there a way we can have an option to send the employee a reason for the denial? I assumed it did this when I put it in the notes but I've learned from my employees that all it says on their end is that their request was denied. This will help with our communication lines from employee to employer. They can be notified as to WHY their request was denied which will help resolve the problem quicker hopefully. Just an idea, Thanks!

Managing position display on shift

In the Employee view under the tab Shift planning, each position carries the Site/Location information. If you have many location and employees. This makes the view very loaded. This information is for us not relevant. Not display this, the more relevant this would catch the eye easier.
Nice would be if you could configure/filter the information as per the need of the user. Sometimes you need everything and sometimes the color says everything. :-)

Link Remote site to a Position

Please consider offering the possibility to automatically link a position to a remote site.
This would help my scheduler not having to add a remote site manually for every shift that he publishes.
Thank you

Schedule Import - Name Format

We have setup our account with the following employee name format: "last name, first name"
Unfortunately, the schedule import feature only accepts the format "first name last name".

Can you change it so that both name formats are accepted by the schedule import feature?

Thanks

Better Reporting

I would like a report that show an employees scheduled hours, their actual worked hours, along with their work units and deducted break. 

Week Day and Date in the reports.

If Humanity could include the day of the week esp on the Time sheets where it reflects the date - can it not be enhanced to show the day and date

Maximum days in a month

Currently, we are under a collective bargaining agreement and contractually our staff can't be scheduled for more than 18 days in a month. It would be awesome if we could set that restriction when they are scheduling themselves.

Termination date

It would be nice to have a termination date for availability. So when an employee puts in a two weeks notice their availability closes off after a certain date.

Published On date in Shift History

It would be great if the shift history could show when a shift was published in Shift History

Notes for staffing by individual

It would be nice to be able to note on a person's schedule they are unavailable to work that day by right clicking/or even the option of putting a note on their status for any particular day -- currently I track in a spreadsheet -- we have tried with setting availability but have difficultly getting staff to keep up to date

Allow the option to not track remaining leave days

Our company uses an accrual policy for time off. Tracking this complex system isn't available in humanity, but people still request leave through humanity for scheduling purposes. We need to be able to turn off leave tracking in humanity so staff are not confused about how many days they have left!

Create feature to assign manager on call

It would be great to have a feature that allows us to assign a manager on call on specific days for staff to contact if they have any issues while working on a shift.  The name and phone number of the manager should be listed under each shift for that specific day.

Being able to scroll through multiple months quick

Since the most recent update, it has been incredibly difficult to move between previous weeks quickly - a feature which I use frequently. The only way to do this quickly is to click on the first week in the calendar in the left pull out, then wait for the load, the click on the week I need or if I need to get to a month before that, repeat the process. Is there a way to add a feature in this calendar to switch between months (and see what month it is in) or to be able to pick a specific date you are looking for without having to load another week?

Shift Approvals and Manage Time Sheets

I've noticed that in order to reconcile shifts mapped on Shiftplanning, I have to open separate tabs to show Shift Approvals and Manage Time Sheets. By doing this, I can see what shifts were on deck on a given day and simultaneously approve the time sheets for each shift worked. Is it possible to have both Shift Approvals and Manage Time Sheets on the same page, so they can be reconciled simultaneously? 

Remote Site not on reports when deleted

We deal a lot in remote sites, we also need to run reports historically.  We cant keep every site active as the list would be too long and confusing.  When our work concludes at a remote site, we delete the site, however this then disappears.  Wondering if it can be made inactive but would still appear on reports

Disabled employees disappear from reports

It would be great if they remained on the reports for historical purposes.

Leave Notifications for Managers

Hi,

We have set up our account in a way where the schedulers are responsible for managing the specific positions, and they can also schedule themselves if needed. 

We want the Leave Request Notifications of Employees to go to their Schedulers, and the Scheduler's Leave Request Notifications should go to their manages.

To achieve that, we have enabled the setting: Only Schedulers should receive the leave request notifications, but since we have allowed our schedulers to schedule themselves, their leave notifications do not go to their manager, which is a huge problem for us. 

It would be a great help if you could add this functionality where the scheduler's leave notifications are sent to their managers regardless of the fact that they can schedule themselves. 

Any improvement in this regard would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if this can be implemented. Thanks!

Offline Clock-In/Clock-Out

I understand that users have accounts that need to sync with their individual profiles.
But this is a timeclock.
People who use timeclock's are businesses that need to operate in all kind of scenarios.
Sometimes the power goes out, sometimes the internet goes down. 
These are situations that may not occur frequently but they are situations that businesses have to prepare for.

We are using the timeclock app on iPads in both our locations.
There is construction going on near by with has caused some internet issues.
This has caused our employees to not be able to clock-in or clock-out.

Is there a way to have the iPads do a sync nightly or every hour so it has all the information it needs, or it can record when an employee clocks in so the next time its connected to the internet it syncs to humanity's servers?
This feature would be very beneficial.

I mean iPads are not perfect by any means. Sometimes iPads drop wifi and we have to toggle to make it reconnect, but even if the wifi is flaky or there is an issue with the internet... an offline backup feature would prevent employees from having to write down the times they got to work and having the manager manually input the hours...
 

Leave Accrual and spending of leave

Please allow employers to allocate and deduct annual leave in hours. We work entirely in hours for all staff because the regular working pattern for many consists of very different day lengths, so to allocate or deduct in days would be unfair and inaccurate. This also applies to bank holidays, where we only deduct hours according to what staff would usually work on that day, even if it's zero.

 

Scheduled Breaks.

I would like there to be a dedicated report that shows scheduled breaks. 

Scheduled Breaks.

I would like there to be a dedicated report that shows scheduled breaks. 

Notifications

Hi Team, 

The manager should be able to change and given access to the notification settings under employee profile.

Thank you!

TLSummary Report and Time sheet notes

Would be great if Time sheet notes could be added in Time sheet Late Summary Report. At this point a manager must check each incident through 'Time clock - manage Timesheets' to find if there was a reason for staff being late or not. It is not time efficient if you have hundreds of employees. 

Edit Time sheet on Mobile App

It would be great if employees and supervisors could edit approve and timesheets and electronically sign that the timesheets are correct.

Availability Change

The ability for staff to set their weekly availability to change starting from a future date, or for a set period. Currently staff can set their current weekly availability, and can set custom availability for future dates, but as a one-off entry. Allowing staff who have periodically changing schedules (I.e. students with semester timetables), to enter these timetables ahead of time. This then makes scheduling for the future a lot easier, as staff availability is accurate.

Pictures

It would be nice to be able to copy and paste pictures into the training sections.
I also don't like that the pdf has to be opened instead of opening up and it being ready when you upload it.

Also, having a bigger box to write content in would be better.  You only see your work after you save it.
And what makes it worse is if you've already sent the training out and you update it, it then sends an alert
to everyone each time you save it and sometimes you have to save it just to see the content in true reality. 
There should be a preview button that allows you to check you work before you finalize.
Also, would be nice if the content typed out didn't shift after you save it, which causes you to go back in and adjust, then
you save and another alert goes out.  

This app is so frustrating. 
 

Excluding position from overtime

It would be great if we could exclude a specific position from overtime calculation. For example, we've created a shift called paid holiday, which staff use for their PTO, but it calculates as overtime when it shouldn't. 

Thanks!
Matt
