Welcome to Humanity's Community!

Add the detail for shift exchanges report.

Add the detail for shift exchanges report. For my staff convenience I didn't enable manager approval function for shift trade. But I still want the record that which shift they made a trade

 

Mini Month Calendar Navigation

I 'd like to see forward and back arrows on that mini month calendar to switch from month to month quickly.

I typically work in day view for shift planning, so to go to different days within the month is very easy (just click on the day I need in the mini month calendar at the top left of the screen). However, to navigate to a day that is not in the current month I have to click somewhere in the last week of the month then move ahead day by day until the month changes. Or I need to switch to 4week view and go forward to where I need, waiting each time until my shifts load before I can go forward another 4weeks, then switch back to day view and find the day I need. Any way I've tried, is a time consuming endeavour.

Auto Log out for selective employees.

Can i select who i want auto logged out?

Drop Shift Reason

When employees drop a shift can they be required to input a reason as to why that shift was dropped?

Archive Locations

Ability to archive "Locations and Positions" under the staff settings.

Example:

"Active Locations"
"Disabled Locations"

(Similar to employee settings)

Basically, I don't want disabled locations to show under any of the reports.

3 types of availability - yes, no, to cover

When staff enter availability we can only see if they are available or not. Staff only list available times when they really want to work. Sometimes they are willing to work other times if there is an unexpected vacancy in staffing. It would be good if there were three categories - maybe color coded.
Definitely available
Available only if necessary
Definitely not available.

Thanks

Australia Humanity

Please come to Australia.
I am having trouble finding an Australian app that provides the same clear, easy to use format that Humanity offer. The big downside with using Humanity is that there are no notifications sent by phone. here we rely on phone to deliver more than we rely on emails. especially if there are last minute changes as is the case for our staff.
Th other downside is cost. Most apps here are half the cost. Humanity is probably overkill for our small operation but there seems to be a big gap - very small and very large are catered well for.
In Australia, a new scheme called the National Disability Insurance scheme is providing people with disabilities with the ability to manage their own supports - which involves hiring staff. All these semi small businesses requires a good scheduling app. 
(Simple things like providing different colours for the different shifts can make life so much easier for schedulers and employees, managers and employers alike. These I haven't found in any app here)
There would be funding available for people to invest in this app. It would be good to be able to have Humanity personnel conduct training sessions for staff. And you may even see how you can expand the app to include other things that are common to people with disabilities but not necessarily needed in other businesses.
I see Humanity is in other countries so I'm throwing our hat in the ring too.

Auto-Enable Leave Types for all staff

It would be great if you could assign a LEAVE type for multiple staff at once. For example, if one department are all out of the office at an event or as a STAT holiday.

For STAT holidays, our company calculates them as a leave types since some of our staff work on STATs and get bonuses if they work that day. So if you could assign a leave type called STATs to all staff instead of on an individual basis that would be very helpful!

 

Staff Reporting- Full Names V/S Nicknames

Hello, 

We would like to have an option under Custom Reports that will allow us to add fields for employee's full names and last names. Or, if the staff module could display both the full names and last names of the employees would be convenient for our business needs. Thanks!

Break Punch too close to end of shift warning

I would like to see an enhancement where there is a warning to the employee that when they clock out on a break that is +/- X number of minutes of the end of their shift.
For example:
Employee is scheduled 830a to 530p
They clock out / coffee cup for break at 529p (this is in error), the warning would then ask them to confirm they are truly going on break and not meaning to clock out.  (I'd set this to +/- 15 minutes).  

Live Location Tracking

I would like to have a feature in Time Clock to track my staffs where they're moving during their shift after clocking-in. Either it could be continued monitoring or in different time increment, i.e., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

FORECASTING for a CALL CENTER t

In order to properly project staffing requirements to handle call flow, this module needs to be every thirty minutes instead of every hour.  As call flows vary in a 30 minute cycle.  I have spent countless hours on spread sheets managing data to make this determination.  WorkForce Mgmt Group, that specializes in forecasting for call centers has their system structured on the 30 minute mark.

Every other aspect of Humanity is amazing.
 

Thanks,

Show Schedule by Remote Site

The scheduling calendar currently provides a view by employees and a view by positions but not by remote site.  It would be helpful to be able to view the schedule by Remote Site; an option for those to chose this view.  You can then easily see which remote sites you need to schedule and which are already scheduled and how many shifts and which employees are scheduled.  Anyone using the remote sites feature of Humanity would benefit from being able to see those remote sites clearly on the scheduling calendar.

Allow for recurring to-do checklist

As staff across different locations usually perform same tasks, am looking for a daily recurring to-do checklist app that staff need to check against. Would be good if you can create such a function so it doesn't have to be a different app and Managers can check if the staff has completed the checklist, would be even better if when they are clocking out, a pop-up reminder can remind them to complete the checklist if they have not done so (such a pop-up will not appear if Manager has not set any task)

Manager able to filter/search by staff

It would be convenient for the Manager to be able to filter/search by Staff Name in order to see which training topics each/any staff has been assigned. Also to see which assigned training topics that staff name has completed or not.
With multiple staff and multiple training topics being assigned to various staff, it currently is very time consuming to click into each topic and see who has complete or not.

Keyboard Shortcuts

Please for the love of all that is good and holy, remove keyboard shortcuts from Shift Planning. Nothing screws me up more than when I start typing in what I believe is a text field, and the entire schedule behind my overlay starts contorting and going to bizarre dates and shit. why is that even there? please please please please remove keyboard shortcuts

Acknowledge shifts for Managers

That would be great if (being a Manager  )we don't have to acknowledge shifts even we're scheduled and we can select the option to acknowledge shift for the employees only.

Availability restrictions

An additional option under availability settings to turn it ON for schedulers so that schedulers can set staff availability even if the option is shut off for staff.  Staff = no access to set their availability and scheduler = full access to staff availability. 

Improvement in view of availability requests

Please improve the view in the "availability requests" feature so that the date and times of an employee's individual availability request are visible no matter how far I am down the page. Our institution can have 100+ availability requests waiting at time. The date/time of the request are only visible without scrolling for the first ~40 requests. After this number, I have to click on each request, scroll up to the top of the page to see the times, and scroll back down to allow me to click on the next request. It is *extremely* time consuming to the user and seems like it could easily be fixed. Thanks!

Shift Release Restriction Suggestions

There should be options to limit how many shift releases each staff member can use within an allotted timeframe. Also, restricting specific staff members from being able to release shifts.

Update your security certificate

The latest version of Chrome does not trust your website due to the older certificate.  When I attempt to go to the website, I get a NET::ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error.

month to month and actual vs budget

I would like to be able to pull a report to see how many hours were scheduled and what the cost was month to month. right now it pulls a report and shows me every day for a year. Budgets are normally done for a month so it would be nice to see what our actual vs budget was for every month in the year. 

Tab over feature for cell selection

I would love to be able to tab over to the next shift cell in a row instead of having to click on the next cell with mouse. would make data entry much quicker.

Allow multiple Remote Sites on a Filter

Please allow multiple Remote Sites to be selected on a Filter similar to the implementation for Positions, Employees and Skills.

In our case, we have sites with several venues that we enter in Humanity as Site Name - Venue Name but currently we cannot obtain a single report that includes all venues of a single site. With multiple selection filters this would be piece of cake.

Undo Button

I think the system needs an UNDO button just like in Microsoft programs or Google programs. I know the UNDO button comes up after a shift is deleted but I think an overall UNDO button for any change in shifts would be very useful just in case something is changed on acccident.

For example: There was an employee on a shift and they were releasing their shift so another employee could take it. I accidentally unchecked their name for the shift and now I can't see who ACCEPTED and REJECTED the shift trade.

In situations like these, I would be able to press the UNDO button and the employee should show on shift again along with shift trade request and who accepted the trade.

Thank you.

ADP RUN

I need these features to come in with your generic csv file. 
 

##GENERIC## V1.0
IID	Pay Frequency	Pay Period Start	Pay Period End	Employee Id	Earnings Code	Pay Hours	Dollars	Separate Check	Worked Department	Rate Code
20787443	W	11/12/2018	11/18/2018	11	sal	40	1230		1	0

Please, allow us to set the date range!

Please, allow us to set the date range in the shiftplanning tab.  For example, I would like to see all shifts for the month of November, from the 1st to the 30th.  Thanks!

Generic/customer Leave setting

It would be a very nice feature to have where we can change the generic leave settings for a position/group of people.
Business case:: As per our company employment requirements, there is a group of people which are not entitled for the weekend leaves to be excluded when they request a leave. 

So in the Generic Leave settings, where for the rest of the company Saturday and Sundays are not included in the leave counters, this specific group of people should be taken as an exception and their leave requests for Saturday and Sunday should be considered and included in the leave counters.

So if an employee from this group requests 7 days leave, there leave counter should state 7 days and for the rest of the positions/group in the company account if someone requests 7 days leave, their counter should mention 5 days requested. 

Password update in bulk

That would be great if we could set the same password for all staff in bulk.

Show "X" when a shift is UNACKNOWLEDGED

Yes, managers receive a notification when an employee unacknowledges a shift. But visually, it looks EXACTLY THE SAME as when the acknowledge a shift. In other words, a set of eyes and a checkmark appear on the weekly or even daily view of the calendar. This is EXTREMELY misleading. You have to click on the shift to actually see the "thumbs down" icon. 

Why not put an "X" instead and instantly remove the person from the shift, putting them into the "unavailable" column?

Thank you!

Follow Up on overnight shifts and vacation request

Hi all, 

I wanted to follow up on this delivered item with a secondary request. 

It would be amazing to be able to set a standard workday within the shift planning system that would be accounted for when staff are making vacation requests. We operate a bar and our shifts always extend past midnight so when staff want to make a vacation request they have to first submit a partial day vacation request, then a full day vacation request if their request is for more than one day.  If we were able to set a time as the standard shift end time so that full day vacation requests would start at that time it would be great. 

Option to Hide Employees From Shiftplanning

Hi, 

We would like to have a feature that would allow us to choose/hide employees in Shiftplanning employee view. As right now the managers and supervisors also appear under the employee view which causes confusion as we do not create shifts for them. 

Option to Hide Employees From Shiftplanning

Hi, 

We would like to have a feature that would allow us to choose/hide employees in Shiftplanning employee view. As right now the managers and supervisors also appear under the employee view which causes confusion as we do not create shifts for them. 

Personal reports.

I would love to see a feature added in which each person can see his/her own past schedule worked with the earnings for those schedules.

Open Shift Notifications

It would be nice to see a feature added, which sends complete notifications about a Shift on which a user is added after their Open Shift Request is auto-approved/ approved from their management.

As the present notifications are very limited and only let you know that you've been added to a Shift, but no details are provided. 

Allow mobile access to confirmed timesheets

We have some staff who work for agencies and they need to submit a physical timesheet to them.  As "time on the schedule" doesn't always equal "time worked" (say, an employee may end up staying back an extra few minutes) staff have to wait until they have worked all their shifts for the week before submitting a timesheet so it reflects their actual time worked.  To pick up their actual time worked, staff are using the "confirmed timesheets" feature in Humanity's Payroll function to get the exact times of their shifts, plus their break in/out times.  However a few of our staff don't have computers at home and so are accessing this on their mobile.  Unfortunately there's no way that they can navigate to "confirmed timesheets" via the phone app, so they have to load the web version on their phone instead, and use the "fullapp=true" variable, which isn't ideal as the full site isn't easy to use on a small device.  It would be great if the app could also access this page.

Time Clock Alerts

On the Manage Time Sheets tab, it would be nice to see other options for the Red Alert signs. Currently the only time you see this alert is if the employee uses a different terminal for clocking in and out (Different Clock In/Out Location), but we would also like to see this if the employee has worked more than 15 hours.  Sometimes an employee will forget to clock out at the end of a shift and then when they clock in for the next shift, it just clocks them out for the previous shift and they have more than 24 hours.  If the Red Alert showed for this type of situation, it would be easier to see there is a possible error before we approve the time, and then we would not pay an employee for too many hours. 

Leave Suggestion

We are looking into making our vacation request process more automatic and
would like to have the option of dividing eligible vacation days for
employees per 'vacation season' or alternatively a time range of our
choosing.
Also, a feature calculating the days the employees are eligible for in
regards to the moment their humanity account was activated - i.e. a person
working 3 months can take 1/4 of their allotted vacation time.
Please let me know if you are able to take this suggestion
into consideration as we would like to be able to starting implementing by
January 1st.

Partial Leave - Maximum Daily Working Hours

I don't want my employees to enter into daily overtime so I changed the payroll settings as "Maximum Daily Working Hours: 24 Hours" however, I also use the partial leave request and would like that to stay as 8 hours instead of 24 hours (Partial Leave is linked with Daily working hours - Anything above daily working hour results in overtime). The leave type is a Paid Time Off which means my employees will have more time off which will cost us more money. My Feature request is to unlink Partial Leave and Maximum Daily Working Hour so businesses can select their Partial Leaves based on their personal requirements.

Schedule Display

When looking at the schedule on weekly/position view, it sorts the order by time.  In other words, if I have three spots for one position and one is from 8a-8p, another is from 8a-2p and the other from 2p-8p, it will display like this.
8a-2p
8a-8p
2p-8p
We would like to be able to change the display so that it displays like this.
8a-8p
8a-2p
2p-8p
 

Notifications

Can we add a filter that allows to choose what locations they receive notifications for?

Permission Settings

I am requesting that for the scheduler permissions, schedulers be allowed to have complete permissions to add, delete, edit and disable employees. 

Customize leave requests notifications for Manager

That would be great if we could change leave requests so they are only going to the center managers of that center? Means, the manager at a particular location should be able to receive notifications for their assigned location only.

Set a leave type as default

That would be great if we could get the Leave Type to default to "vacation" rather than "Bank Holiday Leave"

There should be an option to set a particular leave type as Default so that the staff won't need to select.

Time sheet overview

That would be great if it show our name on the time sheet instead of 'You worked for'

Availability Report

Hi there, 

We need a report which determines periods of time where all staff are available, like time slots from 9am - 10am all coverage is available.  

Bi-Weekly Pay Period/Overtime Calculation

We operate on a 2 Week Pay Period
Overtime is calculated after 80 total hours for that pay period.
Can we get a Bi-Weekly Pay Period and OT Calculation integrated?
 

Payroll Export

Payroll Export to NetData Corporation. 
Yes, I am aware the Generic.CSV is available and may work.
It would however, be easier to convert our parent agency to Humanity if this was already in place.
 

Regular Task Lists

It would be great if there was a feature to set up regular tasks lists for employees to complete during their shift but a bit different of what you have just now. What I'm talking about are tasks that employees have to complete during their shift on a regular basis and are not an "extra" for their shift but are part of their shift. One shift scheduling app that is doing this is When I Work, as explained on this site: https://help.wheniwork.com/articles/scheduling-tasks-computer/.

We currently use a different app for this purpose but it would be great to have everything in one place and  When I Work has is exactly what we need. In addition, it would be very useful to get reports from Humanity about these tasks and who has completed what. 

We run a fitness centre and our tasks are about checking safety standards every day but also cleaning and organizing and that sort of tasks. Some need to be done every week on a specific shift (opening/closing procedures), while others need to be done on a specific day but not on a specific shift.

ie. Monday Morning Task list, so these tasks would need to be done by the  Monday morning shift worker. And also a have a Monday Task list that needs to be completed by the end of the day, but not assigned to someone specifically, so everyone would be able to see what has been done and what hasn't been done and by who. I

Hope this is description is clear enough and it can be added to the app soon, oit would be a great feature to have.

Thanks!

Custom Field - Character Limit

Please increase the limit of characters currently set at 256 to unlimited or maximum so we can input and convey the message through custom fields appropriately as per our requirement.

Hours of Service Rules for Truck Drivers

It would be great if Humanity offered a set of rules based on the FMCSA Hours of Service Rules for Commercial drivers. The 14 hour shift length limit with 10 hour minimum between shifts can already be accommodated however there is a 60/70 hour on duty over 7/8 days rule (outlined below) that would be very helpful during shift planning. This limit is distinct from any overtime rule for instance we pay overtime over 40 hours in a calendar week but must still adhere to either the 60 hours over 7 consecutive days or 70 hours over 8 consecutive days rule. We can choose which of the two rules to use. Note that this is a "rolling" 8 days (or 7 days) so if a driver worked ten hours on Day 1, when he hits midnight of Day 9 the window slides and he would get the 10 hours from Day 1 back. 

60/70-Hour Limit
May not drive after 60/70 hours on duty in 7/8 consecutive days. A driver may restart a 7/8 consecutive day period after taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty. 

It would be especially helpful if there was a single checkbox option that applied the 14 hour shift limit, ten hour minimum between shifts and either the 60/7 or 70/8 rule. I would be happy to provide further feedback or assistance. I think this would be a tremendous opportunity for Humanity to expand into a market that no other scheduling software that I've evaluated serves.

Payroll/ Timesheet Reports

When requesting leave time, not only including dates the employee has requested off but the amount of hours they will be requesting off. Once the hours have been approved, having them appear on the time sheet and being able to calculate total hours requested along with the total hours they worked.  Rather than manually adding vacation time or sick time. 

Webcam assist the Employee to be in right pose

While Clocking-in/out the webcam should have a photo assistance to tell the employee if they are in the right position to take the picture.

Also:  if Humanity also has an algorithm that can flag a timeclock if the clock-in/out photo is blacked out (ie employee covers the camera). Thank you!

Navigation must become more smooth

As an example, in order to go from viewing the Leave Schedule, to my preferred shift creation screen, I need to make multiple selections which includes multiple loading times. i.e. From Leave Schedule:
1) Schedule Overview
2) Employee view
3) Week view 
4) Click on a Sunday in the calendar to return to the previous month 
5) Location filters (otherwise it is impossible to see staff days off)

I think a few things can be improved, notably the Calendar. An option to scroll through the calendar window (even if it remains the same size) would be much smoother than cycling through various months by clicking on the final Saturdays. Navigating from a January schedule to look at June, and then back, is annoying and can be made simpler.
Default views would also be great. Depending on chosen settings, clicking on Schedule Overview could automatically load preferred views (Employee/ Position / Visual/ List vs Day/ Week/ Month).

Employee's not receiving notifications

Today an employee did not show up for a shift.  He didn't get text or email notifications.  I found this strange as his phone number & email are correct in Humanity, and it shows as confirmed.

Upon speaking with tech support they informed me that the employee did not receive notifications "because he DID NOT confirm his email."  This is a problem, as Humanity shows that the account is confirmed, which indicates that the employee is setup to receive notifications.

This is a major problem, as the system shows that everything is ok, and that employees are getting notified, when in fact their privacy settings can over ride notifications.  I need to know that everyone knows when they are scheduled.  If an employee does not want to be notified, or notifications are not being delivered I NEED TO KNOW.

This is a MAJOR FLAW in the system that needs to be fixed ASAP.

 

Mark All Staff on Leave

I think it would be helpful to be able to mark all or some staff on leave at once rather than having to do it individually. This should only be a manager/scheduler function but for certain holidays all or some of my staff are off and having to individually go through and mark them off is really daunting. 

There needs to be either a function to add all staff or select some staff to put some of leave OR there should be a function to mark as closed or on leave on holidays and let management select which holidays they'd like to have available for staff off. 

I have a leave type specifically setup for holidays so it doesn't count again them on their leave/time off schedule (if anyone is wondering how I make that work)

Scheduled Shift Report

It would be helpful to me if the scheduled shift report would add the total number of shifts scheduled in a day to the bottom of the column. It would be more useful than just showing the shifts that are scheduled, which I can see in the ShiftPlanning view without a report.  Thank you for your consideration.

Shared Files Depth

Can you please update the shared files section of the program? This is an awesome feature but it would be helpful if it had a little more depth. My suggestion would be to add the ability to create file folders within the shared files so that documents can be sorted by type like HR, Training, Safety, etc.

Maximum Weekly Hours by Pay Period

It would be great if we could set the maximum weekly hours depending on the week because there are certain periods throughout the year where we allow our workers to exceed the regular weekly limit.

Staff Availability Improvements

Notices About When Their Availability Is Updated: You can't really tell when someone updates their availability. It would be nice if there was just something that indicated when the last time their availability was updated.

Being able to automatically have the availability reset -- or just an easier way of selecting when you are and are not available. The drag and drop thing isn't the simplest. Especially when on the app it's 10x simpler.

it would be great to improve the learning system to have :

2. Search feature to search for topics and articles.

Thank you

Suggestion For ShiftPlanning tab in mobile app.

When opening the mobile app, it always defaults to displaying the Monday of each week even when we're in mid week. Is there a way to have the app default to displaying the roster for the current day? If you don't pay attention, it's easy to look at the roster for the first day of the week thinking you're previewing the current day you're in, unless you noticed the current day indicator. This is also true when creating or amending a shift on the current day, then when you publish it, the schedule view will go back to the beginning of the week, thus having to keep swiping back to the current day.

Black out dates for time off requests

It would be very helpful to be able to list black out dates for certain positions during certain dates/times. 

Auto Logout Per Permission

There should be a way to define the auto logout interval based on the employee's assigned permission.  For instance, you may want to have base employees have a <5 minute auto logout, but a manager/supervisor may find that extremely inconvenient, especially when doing scheduling, reporting, processing payroll, etc.

Fingerprint scanner

We need compatibility with U are U 4500 fingerprint scanner.  Because iPad does not have facial recognition.

Disable Overlapping Shifts Conflicts

​That would be great if there is an option to disabled only Overlapping shifts conflicts.

Admin's authorization before publishing shift

Shift Exchange report ammendments.

Amendments in the shift exchange report are require to make them more robust.

Scheduled Breaks viewed in "Manage TimeSheet"

Just like we can compare the scheduled shift time and clock in/out time in the "manage time section", we should have an option to schedule breaks while making a shift and compare it against the actual duration of the break through the timesheet. 

Example: 



An example here would be, If we have this feature in Humanity, I would be able to see that I scheduled a break from 11:30 AM till 12:00 PM and would be able to compare it that my employee took the break before the scheduled time.

sort by position

We would love to have a way to sort by position type, specifically in the visual view, month view. This would keep all like shifts/positions together and make it easier for the scheduler to see each position as there are currently no position titles in month view, visual view

Empty shifts more visible

We are hoping to have a way to see the empty shifts very clearly in Month view, visual view.
We have several providers with multiple shifts per clinic, per day and it is difficult to see the openings at a glance in visual view which we use the most. 
If the empty shifts were a different color by default, or had a different color font, or blinked, glowed, anything to make them more visible at a glance would be a big help.  

Break Button Rule

The client is looking for a feature where a break is deducted automatically when the break button(coffee cup icon) is used. He was suggested to use the Break Rule feature, however, he wasn't happy with that. His employees may take a break for more than 30 minutes or they do not take it at all but when they do, their break should not end before 30 minutes if they try to end it at 28th or 29th minute. 

More fields (location/skills) for employee import

Hey Humanity,

We need to be able to upload additional info for employee import via CSV file.  We would like to be able to add locations and skills when they are initially being uploaded.  Currently, we can add the employee with the basic info in the CSV file, but then need to go into each individual employee and check off the applicable locations/positions and skills. It would be way faster if we could do it all in one import.

Thanks,

Amanda

Payroll in the Mobile Application (iOS & Android)

The Payroll Module should be added to Humanity's Mobile Application (Both iOS & Android) so employees and managers can access their payroll details via the application.

Allow picking up overlapping shifts

Allow employees to be able to pickup OVERLAPPING shifts.

Time Clock Grace Period

Approve Partial Time Off Requests

There should be a way to approve part of a time off request.  For instance, the employee wants 5 days off in a row but you can only approve 2 of them, you should be able to do that and decline the other 3 days.

Unpublish a Shift

There should be a way to unpublish a shift instead of having to delete it and re-enter it.

Different event integration in the timeclock

We need the Job Costing to go across both the time clock and QuickBooks.
1. This means that if someone is scheduled to work on event # 12345, that they are able to pick that event in the time clock when they punch in and out for that event shift.
2. Next, that total number of hours that that person worked for that event would be combined with all other events for that all people for that pay period, and then be exported to ADP.
3. This information would also need to be exportable from ADP into our QuickBooks system to total up the Total Labor in dollars that was spent on each event, by the department. Since we won't have employees set up in QuickBooks, we would only need the total dollars to be exportable into that system.

Integrate Time Clock into ShiftPlanning

It would be great if time clock wasn't a standalone feature, but instead integrated into ShiftPlanning. In other words, employees would have to click on their shift on their schedule and "time clock" or sign in to the shift. For example, it would say "Scheduled Start Time: 1:00pm" "Actual Sign In Time: 1:04pm". This way, we can keep track of who is signing in early/late to a shift. 

Allow the criteria to enter hours for leave time.

It would be a great feature to allow the leave parameters to be set up for hours. We allow our employees to take leave in 2 hour increments for quality of life when having Dr. appointments and things like that..

INDIVIDUAL WEEKEND DEDUCTION

Hi,

it would be extremely helpful to adjust the weekend deduction setting in Leave to INDIVIDUAL basis, since not all employees share the same days off/weekends. The current option makes it impossible to deduct the correct weekend from multiple employees as it is limited to weekday selection only.


Thanks,
Anja
 

Allow us to change the stacking order of shifts.

Please give us a feature that will allow us to change the stacking order of shifts in visual view. Its very hard to read going from left to right!



If it was constant green across, constant orange across, and constant yellow across it would make it easier for my team to read their shift schedules!

Save Skills to Open Shifts

It would be awesome if we could associate skills to an open shift without having to assign the shift to an employee. This would make it possible to: 
1. create open shifts that only associates with certain skills can pick up 
2. allow us to set shifts with skills and use the scheduling wizard

Thanks!

Payroll Export with accounting software MYOB

The accounting software MYOB should be added as a Payroll Export in the list of supported Payroll Export module in the Humanity App 

Timeclock to Allow IP Address Ranges

If I have a static IP with a range, it would be difficult to add all 100 IPs. Instead can this accept the subnet mask?

Examples:
123.1.12.180/24 or 123.1.12.180 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0

Time sheet attendance report position filter

That would be great if we could view positions separately under the Time Sheets Attendance Report so that we can evaluate employee performance and pay commission to them depending on how many shift that they working on that site.

Under options - add "Group by Employee & Location"

Under options - add "Group by Employee & Location"- we would like to pull a report so we can see employee's total time from multiple locations.

Archive Training Topics

That would be great if we could Archive Training Topics on the application as we do not want to delete the topic and the list gets longer after years using it.

fortnight hours worked reset

We would like to be able to reset the counter for hours worked to match the pay period. Tuesday 6pm to Tuesday fortnight 6pm.
 

Australia

Hi We have been enjoying this app for a year now and would really like it to come to Australia so we can use the phone connection so we can receive notifications and truly use all its features.
 

Direct links to filtered views of shifts

That would be great to be able to share direct links to filtered views of shifts. We are looking to be able to have something that just allows us to share a link directly to all open shifts so employees can grab them if they want them.

Alerts when someone clocks in from mobile

It's be great to get a text message or email when someone clocks in using their mobile device.

Telephone number need on schedule summary report

It would be very helpful if the schedule summary report would allow you to also include the phone number.

Reporting and Accessing Information on Trades

Would like the ability to run a report and view past trades and who traded with whom.  Currently cannot view the detail of a trade.

Empty shifts

Hi, I have a technical question. We usually schedule engineers per quarter. But then if we approve their leave request, the shift is marked as "empty". Is there a setting somewhere we can activate which will simply delete the shift of the engineer once his/her leave is approved.

Check all box for building a shift

When building a shift, there should be a check all box next to "available" that will select all available employees below. This saves time clicking on all the employees individually. 

Skills: Open Shift pick up based on Skills

Shared FIles: See files without downloading

1. We should be able to see the files without downloading them.
2. There should be an online version support in the file so that we can edit the file from humanity app instead of deleting the older file and uploading the newer version of the file.

Additional Information in Event Log

It would be great to have some additional information logged as part of each record in the Event Log, specifically the IP Address where an employee logged in/out from, as well as clocked in/out.  I know that for clock in/out it's recorded as part of the time sheet record (as the terminal name), but it would be great to be able to compare the information when troubleshooting a user's login or clock in/out issue without going back and forth between screens.

Email address column in Reports

Right now there is no option to see email address in the reports. It would be great to have an option to add employee email address to the report such as we select EID. 

Leave Cancellation Report

We need to get the leave cancellation report for the cancelled leaves of the employees.
At present looking at event log and email notification is  less comfy.

Reordering Custom Fields,

I need to be able to reorder custom fields, 
at the moment I need my custom fields #2 "TPS MLEO #:" & #8 "TPS MLEO Expiry MM/DD/YR:" to be beside each other

Allow SSO clock in/out via the time clock

We have SSO setup to login to the app, but it would be great to be able to setup a time clock that allows you to clock in/out with your SSO configuration.

Currently, you setup the time clock and have to use a username and password which is different than your SSO credentials.

Retraction of shift rejection

If an employee has been rejected for a shift then i would like the option to undo this and let them reaply for the shift. This would be useful if a shift needs to be moved and you want to allow people the opportunity to ralpy to confirm they are still available

Email Headers

When an open shift is posted only, the email that is sent reads "your upcoming schedule has been posted."

Can it PLEASE change to "an upcoming schedule has been posted."

This should take 20 seconds and would make a world of difference in the way the email is interpreted by the recipients.  I get so many calls stating "I'm not available for that shift that you put me on," not realizing that it's only an open opportunity.

Advanced Reporting

We'd like the ability to export all data, including birth dates.  Some fields cannot be exported without contacting tech support.

Philippines: SMS support for Globe Telecom

Please ensure the support for the Philippines Globe Telecom

Break rule smoothing over multiple positions

At our company, staff are assigned to several different roles and these are currently reflected in Humanity as different positions.  As staff are multi-skilled they will often move between different roles during a shift.  For example, a staff member may be working on one job between 8am and 12pm and another between 12pm and 4pm, so a total shift of 8am-4pm.  Due to this, they are entitled to a full day's worth of breaks as indicated by the Award in our country and we have reflected this in our 8-hour break rule.

When these shifts are created in Humanity, the program will apply the 4-hour break rule to both positions, instead of applying the 8-hour break rule across the total 8 hours.  It would be good if we had an option within Humanity to "link positions" within a day and apply the break rule to the total amount of hours scheduled for that person on that day.  (For bonus user-friendly points, Humanity could be programmed so that when a second position on the same day is drawn in, the program asks the scheduler if they want to link the new position to any of the existing positions, and then apply the break rule across them both.)

Right now we're working around this by drawing in a third position called "total hours" and calculating time and pays off of this instead of the actual positions that the employee is working.  Our workaround looks like this:



This method works, but it's not very ideal and it's time-consuming for us to enter.  We'd love a better way.  Thanks for considering!

Customisation required in permissions management

The existing staff permissions settings are nice and clear, but lack utility due to the lack of customisation.


Just a few of the many things that we'd like to be able to do:

• We want our accountant to be able to clock in and out, because he likes doing that sort of thing, the current "accountant" setting doesn't allow this, so we had to give him "supervisor" permissions which gives him access to a bunch of other stuff that he doesn't want to touch
• We don't want all admin staff to have access to payroll, only the admin staff who specifically administer payroll features should be able to go in there, we want to keep the rest of them away from the sensitive money side of the business to reduce exposure to fraud etc
• We don't want admin staff to have the "manager" tag because our admin staff aren't as important as our managers, and it looks like the cheeky admin staff suddenly promoted themselves, however we have no choice as the "manager" setting is the only one with admin access
• Likewise some of our managers want to stay as far away from admin functions as possible because that's not their role, but the "manager" tag has admin functions by default - however if we don't give them the "manager" tag, it looks a bit weird like someone demoted our CEO to a mere floor supervisor and that looks a bit inappropriate and unprofessional honestly

The existing categories however may be useful to some organisations who prefer to keep things simple, and they certainly are user-friendly.  Therefore I think an ideal solution here would be to have an "advanced mode" (like with many other admin settings already in Humanity) where instead of using the pre-defined roles, we can generate custom roles with custom names, where we can individually lock or unlock any aspect of Humanity for those roles.  The sort of controls we'd be looking for is being able to set a yes or no to the following:

• Time clock access
• Scheduling edits
• Payroll (read only)
• Payroll (full access)
• Reports (read only)
• Reports (full access)
• Staff credentials editing
• Permissions editing
• Humanity feature requests creation
• Location editing and maintenance
• Leave and unavailability approvals

Etc, etc.  The more fine control over these things, the better.  Thanks for considering!

Alignment and accuracy issues with day view ruler

There's a few accuracy issues with how bars and time display on the day view, which make it somewhat confusing to read.

The below is how the time bars in day view currently look:



There's three problems with the above.  They are all minor, but added together they significantly reduce the clarity of day-shift viewing:

1.  The bar isn't horizontally aligned with the grid
2.  The numbers indicating the hours are not aligned with the places in the grid where the hour ticks over
3.  The grid for the numbers is not aligned with the grid for the bars

Issue 2 is always present.  Issues 1. and 3. are intermittent.  Sometimes everything lines up perfectly.  At other times the alignment is comically off-base, especially when changing views or zooming in or out.  The below 8am-4pm shift now looks more like 9:15 to 18:30:



Issue 2 on the other hand is purely a clarity issue where hours are displayed ambiguously, and also appears elsewhere in the system, such as in the availability graph (click here for a related feature request which goes into more detail about exactly why this is a clarity problem).

I've corrected all three issues below, to show you how this problem should look when rectified:



1.  The bar is now perfectly snapped to both the start and finish times
2.  The numbers which were between the hour-indicators on the grid have been moved to on top of each hour indicator, giving far greater clarity about where the hour ticks over
3.  The number grid and bar grid are now perfectly aligned

This is now perfectly clear with no opportunity for misunderstanding when looking at it.  Thank you for your consideration!

Weekly hours report or payroll $ report weekly

 I would like to request a REPORT feature! :)

  Alot of us need to generate hours worked PER WEEK to the state.  Can you make up a report template that can be ran that will generate everyones hours per week within a certain time frame?  Instead of having to enter each date manually.

Minimum Monthly Hours

It would be helpful if there were half hour increments on the minimum monthly hours feature because some of the staff take 30 minute lunches.  Thank you!

Improvement in Staff Report

At the moment, staff report does not show and export the user birthday information as well as employee username information. Using custom fields means that we have to manually put birthday and username information for each employee which a lengthy task. An improvement in the Staff report would be really great. 

Staff should be able to pick up overlapping shifts

Brynn (Manager) would like to have an option to be enabled for the staff members to be able to request to work on open shifts even if they have overlapping times with the ones they've already got on the same day. This is an important feature for the business and will be really helpful.


Thanks.

Clear up labeling ambiguity for staff availability

The availability graph is beautifully user-friendly, but incredibly confusing for staff to actually use, purely because of the way that the time is labeled.  Let's say that I'm a worker who wants to indicate that my availability is 8am to 4pm each day.  My natural instinct would be to draw a box that extends from 8am to 4pm on the availability graph, so the end result looks like this:



It would seem okay as 8:00 is green and 16:00 is green so that should mean availability for 8am to 4pm, right?  Wrong!  The above is actually incorrect, because if I’ve selected 16:00 as green, that means I’m telling Humanity that I’m available for the entire hour starting from 16:00:00 and ending at 16:59:59!  Each block is signifying one hour, commencing from the time on that block, so I've made myself available for 9 hours when I wanted to make myself available for 8.  Here’s what my availability SHOULD look like instead for an 8am-4pm shift:



The above is correct for an 8am-4pm shift, but very counter-intuitive for staff to enter.

The same problem presents itself with the 15-minute view.  Let's look at the example of a staff member who wants to indicate that they are available from 8:15am to 1:45pm, the below is what they put into Humanity:



This is how our employee put it into the system, and who can blame them?  But it's wrong as it’s actually saying that they are available until 2pm, because the 15-minute block that represents the time from 13:45 to 14:00 is selected.  Now here’s the right way for this employee to show that she’s only available until 1:45pm:



Now it's correct, this shows availability from 8:15am to 1:45pm. 

How to fix this problem?  It's actually easy - just change the labels.  Adding the start AND finish time of the hourly block would clear up any confusion with the hour view:



Now with both the start and finish times of the hour present, it's obvious that selection 16:00 actually puts the employee down for shifts between 16:00 and 17:00.

And the following would sort out similar problems with the 15-minute view:



Thank you for considering!

Payroll Integration to MYOB

Hi,

I would like to request an integration to the accounting software MYOB.

Thanks

Schedule Printing

Something that would be beneficial to me personally would be a way to print the schedule by location but be able to have all locations on the same page. We have four locations but need to be able to check who is working at any of them. We can print the schedules for each individual location, or for all employees, but what I need is to be able to print all employees, sorted by location.

Thank you!

Email Column in Confirmed time sheets

Hi Dev, 

I would like to have an addition in confirmed time sheets columns. It would be nice to have an option of "Employee's email" column included in the filters on the right so that it can be used when necessary. 

That's a pretty basic feature. I don't see why, if it is part of an employee's profile, we can't pull it to reporting. I hope other clients of your will approve this new filter/column in the reports. 

Looking forward to hearing from you guys. 

Thank you. 

Change the verbiage from "Entitled"

With the leave module, it looks like our employees are entitled to 365 days off - which they are not. If that word was just removed then they wouldn't think they were actually entitled to it. Vacation is a different bank than just general requested days off. 

Lock national days on shiftplanning

Good morning

I would like to request for a improvement on shiftplanning. Your program already have the nactional days insert, but I would like to ask for you to lock this days - so, the programme won't let insert schedule for national days... 

Nowadays, if someone insert a schedule on a national day, I have to delete it... one by one. If this spcific days were locked it could turn the global organization of the company must more easier.

Can you analise this request, please?

Thank you very much

Schedulers users permissions

Good morning

I would like to request for a improvement on humanity program. Actually, this is a need that I hope that can simplify the work, for all organization - as your client.

I would like to ask for schedulers users only be able to manage their team permissions, but not their own permissions - talking about the shiftplanning and time clock aprovalls. That means that we need that schedulers users can control the regular users but have some restriction to manage their permission. 

Can you analise this request please?

Thank you very much.

Notification support for "Freedom mobile" Canada

Please provide notification support for "Freedom mobile" Canada.

 

Hide Anniversaries

That would be great if we could shut off the anniversary widget so that none of the staff can see this feature, is there a setting for this globally.

Mobile app in Canadian/French language

We need to change the language of the mobile app to FRENCH.

Click to Call on App version

Could you please add a feature on the mobile version where if a number is listed, the user can click the phone number and it will automatically dial?

Also, the message wall on the desktop doesn't looks the same as on the app. On the app, all the notes posted on the message wall come through as a large block of text as opposed to paragraph structure. 

Please Use Real Time

Could you please get rid of the 15 min increments on shiftplanning and switch to real time?

Rearrange work units

Currently Work Units are listed in the order that they are entered into the system, so a highly used work unit may end up at the end of the list and obsolete/minimally used work units may be at the front.
Please add functionality to rearrange work units (drag and drop) so that the team can place most commonly used work units on the main screen or access with minimal scrolling to find the work unit.
