Option to delete templates in new shift creation

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


Thanks

Leave Calendar

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

Representation of Entitled Leave Days

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

CHOOSE THE FUNCTION

HI,

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

thank you

Add an option to export remaining leave days

Hi folks,

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

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

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

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

Add break visibility to day shift view

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

Pinning shifts

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

Track breaks

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

Force notifications of next shifts individually

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

Allow individualized weekends for staff

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

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

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



 

Max number of staff that can be booked off at once

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

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

Thanks!

 

Comment only if past scheduled shift

Force a comment if clock out is past scheduled shift

Daily View with Tasks and Breaks

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

Permissions-

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

Specific Positions Visibility to Staffs

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

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

Shift Request

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

Release a shift on behalf of an employee

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

Thank you!

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

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

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

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

Department-Specific Notifications for Managers

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

Requesting features

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

Features such as: 

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

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

Mobile app

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

Update "Notes" in Series separately from "Title"

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

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

Sending direct sms messages to staff members

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

Thanks.

Employees at Multiple Locations in Group Accounts

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

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

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

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

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

Settings to be considered...

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

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

Posting Pictures

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

first tab on clock in page

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

Select Positions as default under Shift planning

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

View Reports on Mobile app

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

Leave/Unapproved

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

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

Leave Schedule

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

Scheduler to be able to add/remove staff members

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

Thanks.

Account Type Custom Setup Feature

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

Unpublished shifts in lighter color than published

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

Include hours for the Entitled Leave Days

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

Add a pay rate for salaried employees

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

Staff Payroll

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

Locking Schedule

Hi Humanity, 


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

 

Can you add the assignments to sections

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

Kudo system

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

Viewing available leave

Each staff can see their own available leave on their dashboard

Undo button for miscellaneous changes

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

Restrict Employees Access to Others Schedules

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

Skills notification for employees & supervisors

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

Skills reporting

It would great to be able to run reports on skills just to see who is assigned to each skill for auditing purposes.  I'd like to seee it list the employee name, list the skills associate to them and the expiry date (if no expiry date please still list)

Publishing Feature

Hi Humanity, 

We noticed that you have to check a box at the bottom every time you publish or republish that says. Do not delete existing shift acknowledgments on publish/republish. Please add a setting where it can be marked check by default at the time of Publishing/Republishing. 
Thanks

Import Leaves

David Stein (Manager) would like to have a feature added where the Managers would be able to import Leaves schedule with .csv file just like they can import a shifts schedule for the employees. Also the could include past vacation days taken, or list amount of days taken under various leave types.

Thanks.

Reset Leaves Counter option

David Stein (Manager) would like to have an option introduced where the Manager would be able to decide when the leaves counter will reset for employees for example, the leaves for employees to be renewed on the date of hire (Anniversary date). 

Thanks.

Master template for a roster.

Being able to set up a master template roster ( daily, weekly or monthly) that you can add to each week in the future.

• If a change is made to a shift on the master template then it is changed to all future (days, weeks or months) moving forward. This would pop up alerts to any booked leave that may be affected and any other issues.
• If a change is made to a specific shift however it only affects that shift.
• If I use the current template system it can only be copied to one week at a time. Otherwise I have to set each shift to repeat seperately which is tedious.

 

Make it so you can set recurring shifts to carry on continously. Dont lock it down to only a few years ahead.

• I dont want to have to go through each shift in a few years and reset them all.

 

Hot Key

Hi there, 

Instead of using Y as hotkey to open a calendar in the ShiftPlanning, please add a button where we can simply click and quickly navigate through months. 
Thanks

Option to disable "Manage Widgets" from dashboard

Debra Trifon (Manager) would like to have the option to disable the "Manage widgets" feature from all the employees Dashboard so that they could not hide their Message wall to miss any important announcements. If there could be any option to disable it, it would be appreciated. 

Thanks 

Add Month to Calendar

Can we add the Month to the Calendar in shift planning.

Data mining feature

When using multiple payroll rates, the hourly rate spot is completely useless to me. As a manager I need access to payroll and pay rate information that is efficient. Humanity Help staff have pointed me to this community in order to request that a payrate report be made. Thank you for your consideration.

store/location name in visual view, all locations

we are an urgent care that has several locations in one area (up to 12). each location has 1-4 shifts per day. our staff work at all locations within an area, and we need to be able to see the full area all at once, with the location name and the staff member clearly visible. currently, when we are in visual view, we see all of the shifts, and the providers on shifts, but there is no way to tell what clinic location they are working without tabbing through each individual location on the left menu. we can color code each location, but it is not practical to send out a color key for all who need to see the schedule in full

Staff- Permission level to approve timesheets only

It would be great to have any of the permission level to be able to approve the timesheets only and could not make any changes to the schedule or restrict them to make any other changes but just to be able to approve the timesheets only. If any option like that could be introduced to enable, that would be helpful.

Linking Remote Sites with Positions

Hello!

We have multiple remote sites on our account, and some of the remote sites are associated with a specific position. We would like to have the ability to associate the Remote Site with a specific position, so when we create a shift the relevant remote site is automatically assigned to that shift. 

Unfortunately, we can't add multiple locations to overcome this problem since there are too many remote sites and then we would end up adding too many positions. 

Please let us know if this can be implemented. Thank you!

Open Shifts based on Skills

Hi,

I want to make a request to add the ability to create the open shifts based on a skill rather than a position. This is because we often have employees who are assigned to a position, but we need people with the specific skill set to be able to work that shift. 

It would be a great help if we could assign a skill to an open shift, so the request only goes to the relevant employees. Any improvement in this regard would be highly appreciated. Please let me know if this can be implemented. Thanks!

On-Call Employees Available for Releasing Shifts

Currently, we have a few select employees scheduled as "on-call" at specific locations, but can work across all the ones we originally assigned them too. When an employee at another location releases a shift, the on-call employees do not show up in the list of available employees. We would love it if Humanity can make on-call employees still show up as available to ease up release request and for us to be able to utilize Humanity and on-call employees to the full extent

Default Schedule View

Every time I'm on Humanity, I click the locations that my department operates at which can become very tedious when needing to do this every time. It would be great if there was a way to save this as a default view for schedulers and managers so that when logging in we're able to view the schedule that is specific to our program

Clock In Location by GPS Coordinate

Current dilemma:
Our office is located in a large multi tenant unit building. Google Maps is displaying the clock in location as the opposite side of our building and outside of the clock in range when seated in our area.

Suggestion:
Clock in location set by specific coordinates (i.e. a pin drop on Google Maps) rather than by the location Google Maps displays for an address. 

Leave approver

Can you possibly add a 2nd level approver for leaves, sick days and family days?

Example: HR is first level approver and then Operations Manager approves next

Salary Positions and Payroll Exporting

Like, can we fix this already? I can't see a world in which anyone here doesn't encounter this problem. You must use a weird work around to export payroll if you have anyone salaried that has an account. Like, I dunno, a manager or owner?

From the Humanity Support Chat:

"For Salary employees we have a work around, where you will set $0 Rate on the Position so it don't add up in the hourly pay. 
Here Salaried employees needed to be assigned on new Position let say Salary and the rate on that position will be their Month/Week Salary amount, now once you add 1 hour shift to calculate a month or week salary, that will complicate things while exporting."

This is inconceivable to me that this is what a customer is told for this issue. The payroll option has been there for several years now. Fix it already.

Paid Break Button

It would be nice to have another break button available on the time clock that can be used to mark a paid break so it can also be pulled up in reports. 
by California law, an employee has to take a 10-minute break and needs to show up on the report.

Changing Leave Types

It would be great if the ADMIN could switch the type of leave that has been approved. 

Rate Card

We need a special setting for the rate cards: the system allows only to put in hourly rates. So in Austria, we need half hourly rates. Should be like this: Monday till Friday from 6:30 pm till 8 pm 170%

Trade On Call Shifts

With our company, 98% of our employees work Monday-Friday 8am-5pm. We have Service Technicians that have to be 'On Call' in case our customers have emergencies after hours and overnight. We are mainly using the shift planning for scheduling their "On Call" shifts. These "On Call" shifts are set schedules for our employees. The employees are only paid IF they have to go to a customers home for their "On Call" shift. Therefore, I do not want to schedule them for an entire overnight shift that would show them getting paid for those hours. 
IT WOULD BE GREAT if employees were able to request to Trade these "On Call" shifts. As it is like any other schedule it just isn't necessarily a paid schedule. 

Create Custom 'Saved' Repeat Cycles

If you create a Custom Cycle, you would have the option to Name and Save it to the list.

Custom reports with leave time included

Please add leave time (all types of leave) into reports. For full time employees time spent on vacation, sick leave, etc... is also important and is part of wage calculation.

Timezones

Make sure you have all the correct timezones for the US

FOr instance.... Mtn Time.... you do not have that listed correctly for US terms

Availability

Can there be a way to make it so staff cannot change their own availability but management can change staffs availability? 

Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval

It would be very helpful if the "Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval:" feature also had an indication of when they request had been made. either a hover over or a column to show that. Without it one needs to go to the log and dig deep.

Scheduler permissions

We need ability to restrict "Scheduler" from adding manual entries to Timeclock or modifying the Timeclock for employees.

 

They should only be allowed to create and publish a schedule.

Sort by Remote Location

It would be useful to be able to sort by Remote Locations. Currently only the general position shows and you have to click in to each shift to see where the employee is scheduled

Shift Title not visible the day view

Currently, the shift title is not visible in the Day View where are it is visible in the week / 2 Week / week view.

Payroll Rate Cards

That would be great if we could make the Payroll Rate Card overtime hours to 7.6 hours. These are the hours we have to work to make it legal in Australia as we cannot work more then 38 hours per week and at no more then 7.6 hours per day.

Employee Permissions Placement

Hello there.

I would like to suggest an improvement feature. 

"EMPLOYEE" permission is placed under an individual's name.  

• Why:  Our staff is not employees, but contractors.  This "name", although permission-based, is an inappropriate name for our contractors and gives the impression that the individuals are indeed employees.
• Wish:  to have the ability to add a title and permissions that go with it.
  • Another of the SAAS that we use, Talkdesk, has recently added the ability to write titles and permissions that go along with the selected title.  It makes distributing permissions easier and more specific to each user (a table with icons and you add the level and check the permissions you wish to have added).

Restrict clock in/out for a specific staff

That would be great if we could restrict specific staff from clicking in.out. For example the staff of a particular skill should not be able to clock in/out.

Section for employees who forget to clockout.

It would be great if there is an additional box for the employees who forget to clock out. Right now, the dashboard shows employees who are late for work. However, there should be a box for employees who forget to clock out.  

Notification for break

At the moment, manager or schedulers do not receive a notification in case a driver receives a notification. It would be great if a manager or a scheduler receives an email or SMS notification in case a driver exceeds a given break. 

Location specific Availability

We have 6 locations employees can work from. Using the the scheduling wizard more effectively by enabling employees availability based on location. ie Emily can work M,W,F @ Kyle location and Tue, Sun @ Triage. Breaking down shift availability by location is very important because most of our employees work in 2 or more locations w/ different availability for each.

Entitled leave days

I want to make one of my employees full time and give them PTO of 10 day per year. I pay biweekly so they would accrue about 3 hours every pay period. I am looking for where I can automatically accrue PTO and then it deduct and gives a balance. That would be great if we could add 3 hours, or 0.375 days to this "entitled leave days" every 2 weeks. 

I believe this is referred to as "accruals"

 

Thank you!

Break Reminder

That would be great if we could have the option for the staff to send a reminder to take break to their app. Its compulsory we track their breaks.

Publish Partial Schedule

A feature that would allow you to publish a partial schedule or publish individual shifts without publishing the entire weeks. 

Ability to save a schedule view

We have a number of departments using the system, we'd like the have the option that each user can create their own customer view in the shift planning that they can save individially.  Option to include in the filter options: positions to include, type of view (employee, vs position etc), time view (week, month etc)

Blocking Request Time Off

We were very excited about the Blocking function on Shift Planning, however, it blocks out that day for ALL team members and not just by store. We would love to be able to block days out for each individual store and not for all employees. 

Thank you, and looking forward to the continued updates and helpful tools! 

Google Drive/Sheets integration

I would be great to create a standard report or take the default reports and have them auto populate to a google spreadsheet at a specified interval. For my this would help with my reporting as I can now manager and compare hours vs projects vs manufacturing productivity.

Employee enter work units on mobile app

It would be very helpful for employees to be able to enable work units via their mobile app and then approved by the manger or supervisor. This would save a lot of time for my company, especially since I have a lot of employees traveling around the country. In addition to this is an employee is clocked into a shift with work units I would love to be able to make it mandatory to enter them before they can clock out.

Automatically change positions

If an employee is scheduled for back to back shifts it would be great if the time clock could recognize that they have another shift/position and automatically change them to that position. It would make reviewing timesheets easier, as right now I have to go back and review shifts constantly and manually change their time clocks to reflect position changes when they work doubles. 

Shift time interval

That would be great if we could set up shifts in something other than 15 minute increments. I'd like to be able to schedule shifts from 1:25-3:40 for example. Please add this option as this would be very helpful.

WeChat notification

I'm in china and I think it would be fantastic to have the ability to notify employees of their shifts via a WeChat notification being as this is the primary form of communication in China. Even over text messaging, WeChat takes precedence as the primary mode of SMS. If this were the case, it would double as notification for things like the Apple Watch, which would be amazing. Simply look down at your wrist and see that there's a new shift available for pick up. 

Thank you for your consideration. 

Shift time Interval

That would be great if we can adjust the shift times from 15 min intervals to five min intervals.

Company logo on Payroll Report

That would be great if we could put our Company Logo as page head when printing Payroll Reports.

Scheduled Summary Report

Could you please add totals of hours worked per day in the Scheduled Summary Report, instead of just totaling the week?

Print Filter Update

Please make the print filter where once it's updated, it's final. Toggling back/forth through multiple locations while working on schedules and having to update the print filter each time is very counterproductive.

Remove clock out/in between back-to-back shifts

It is crucial to have this option: Do not require employees to clock out/in between back-to-back-shifts.

Almost all my employees have back-to-back shifts. As the system works now they all have to clock out and in between each shift which is not practically possible when one shift ends the same time as a new one starts.

Please make it possible for us to make employees clock in at the start of a number og consecutively shift and clock out at the end.

We can't use the time clock until that is an option.

Separate Event Log for Admin Settings

We have multiple Admins who may inadvertently make changes and not understand the rationale. It would be great to have a separate Event Log for just Admin settings that were changed by Admins. 

Block Out Date

We should have the ability to block out certain days from leave requests. That way no one is able to request on those days, when an employee submits maybe a personalized message pops up telling them the reason why it's "blocked" out. 

Report & Staff: Employment type & importing info

Is there a report for employee type (full time, part time, per diem).  Also, are you able to import an csv or xlsx file to update current employee information instead of opening each staff member and entering each item manually.  

Who is not working and why report

There needs to be a report that combines the data found on the availability report and the scheduled hours report.  Using the scheduled hours report I can quickly produce a list of staff that are NOT working on a given day.  The problem is once I have this list of let's say 70 staff that are not working, the next logical question is WHY are they not working?  Well as you guessed it the only way to know why is to produce the availability report which will outline all the staff that are on vacation, that are on sick leave and those that have set their availability to completely off on the date in question.   So now I have 2 reports and now I have to manually cross reference the scheduled hours report that I got initially with this availability report.  

The ultimate goal of this report is to show me all the people who are not working on a given day along with their availability set for that date right next to their name so I can contact the staff that simply have modified availability so I can call them to work that day. 

Multiple day events

Often times we have events that will cause the employee to be gone from the office for multple days. As of now it seems like the only two options are to make seperate events for the entire time they are gone or to make 1 long event for the entire time. If you make it 1 long event then it only shows on the schedule for the 1st day unless you hover your mouse over the event. Meanwhile on the phone app it only shows them being gone for the 1st day and available the rest of the time. Can you fix it to show multple day events to show as 1 long event for the entire time it is scheduled for?

Shift Pickup Requests Needing Approval

This is a crucial feature for my operations.  In many instances, multiple staff members would request the same shift.  With that being said, the aspect of the software become very cluttered and difficult to operate from.  I would love to see the following features.

1. The ability to group the open shift request by dates.  The ability to view all the staff request within the shift + the total hours scheduled for this particular week.
2. Link the open shift request and allow it to open in the shift planning window.
3. Auto-reject.  Once a shift has been covered; it should automatically drop all other requests instantly versus have to decline each 1 individually.

Acknowledge and Unacknowledged icons need changed

Looking at staffing from the list view, employees who have acknowledged or unacknowledged shifts look the same. You have to hoover over the check mark (icon) to see which one it is.

Working Crews

Right now we have shifts based upon skill positions. However it would be nice to be able to link various shifts together to form a working crew so that the postions can easily see who they are working with.

sorting

I would like to be able to sort leaves by specific leave types or by skill.

Vodafone UK support

Please start supporting Vodafone UK for SMS notifications.

Allow Scheduler to put employees on vacation

At present, if the option "Employee can book vacations" is disabled. The schedulers can neither put themselves on vacation nor they can put the employees on vacations who are coming under their supervised positions.

We need an option which allows the SCHEDULERS to be able to put the employees on LEAVE just like the managers can do when the option EMPLOYEES CAN BOOK VACATIONS is disabled under Settings->Leave & Availability.

Embed SCORM 1.2

I would like to attach SCORM packages to humanity training. Please enable this function.

Hours Scheduled

I have to post my hours on a budget before they are picked up by an employee. When creating the schedule is it possible to allow a calculation for open hours listed and also a post for filled hours? The only option I see currently is after the shift has been selected by an employee that the hours get added on the left side. It would make it easier when creating the schedule to see how many hours have been posted before the shifts are filled.

Shift Limits

I publish my schedule at a certain date/time for staff to select shifts. Some are over eager and take too many shifts not allowing others to have as much of an opportunity to work. To make it more fair I would recommend allowing a feature that employees are only allowed to grab 5 or 10 shifts or a percentage of shifts posted within 24 hours. After 24 hours all the shifts are available for everyone.

Add "email" as a field for creating custom report

I would like to have the emails of staff scheduled to work in a particular timeframe at a particular location so that I may contact them directly instead of the entire email list for the location. It seems this fix would be easy, as you already have other fields such as employee ID, name, etc.

Notifications

The employee should be able to filter the notifications according to the filter they have set on their phone.  We use the software for many departments (location).  Employees get notifications that do not apply to them.

Permissions add-ons for schedulers and supervisors

Scheduler permissions need to have the ability to manage the skills expiration along with relevant reports. With our organization we have found that permissions from schedulers and supervisors are to much. We need the ability to assign particular abilities to schedulers that supervisors have.

Reset Maximum working days in a row

how do i fix the option of max days in a row to reset to every Monday - Sunday

 

Shift Approval/Denial - Employee Notifications

Hello - this is an urgent feature request. When a shift pick-up is approved/denied, an employee needs to be notified. With employees not being notified, we now risk them not knowing if they need to work and not showing up to work. The liability, without a notification system, is now on the company and we will have to manually notify employees is shifts are/aren't approved. Being in a hospital, short-staffed shifts are not an option for patient safety.
Thank you!!

Annual leave requests synced from BambooHR

At present annual leave requests synced from bamboohr to humanity register to the day in question however the shift assigned to the day stays in place.

It would be great if the shift allocated to a day was removed when an approved annual leave request is synced to it from the bamboohr platform. Ideally with a very clear label to identify and highlight that the day is in fact an annual request.

Payroll Provider Request

Please add Cirrus Payroll to your integrated list

Notes for Employee

Hello.  It would be a great feature if our employees can add/subtract/edit notes from their previous time sheets.  I have been told that the only way they can do that, is if we allow them to edit their time sheets.  I cannot give them access to change their clock in and clock out times.  However, I do want them to be able to add/edit/subtract notes.  Thank you.

Hours Scheduled v/s Confirmed Hours

I need the report which shows me the scheduled hours versus clocked hours with an option Approved/Unapproved and OT as well as break details to compare easily.
I have to run two reports which are a huge pain at the moment, and almost impossible to easily get the benefit that I want from the existing reports.

Notification options

I'd LOVE the ability to control the frequency of notifications. Specifically, rather than managers receiving daily notifications anytime there is a timesheet to approve, I'd love to set it for my entire organization that notifications are sent to managers every Friday at 5pm to approve timesheets for the week prior.

Staff Hiring Report

It would be great if there was a report to see how many staff were added to shiftplanning per month. Helps to predict when we will need to hire in the future. 
I know there are aniversaries on Humanity, so it already knows when a staff was added, it would just be nice for us to see that in a report.

See past year Schedule with a few clicks.

Pressing the Y button in the SHIFTPLANNING section on the Mac computer does not work.
We need a solution to jump to the past dates from under the ShiftPlanning section. 

 

Filter options to save to determine preferred view

We have a number of locations and positions, and loading the entire schedule can take some time.
If there was a way to set a filter by user, that they could determine their preferred view for the shift planning that that would be great.
Options to include:
which time period to view (day, week, month view)
which type of view (employee, position etc view)
which locations and positions to include

Still having the option to use the left filter, but having a setting that is their default.

Expand/Collapse Option for Shifts with Slots

Please consider adding the option to expand/collapse shifts that have 2 or more slots as it would make it easier to view the details/employee assigned to the shift.

Make shift assigned tasks queryable via API

Ideally, assigned tasks would be returned as part of the shift data returned by API calls like GET Shifts. Using the title for this isn't ideal due to the 50-character limit.

Highlighting Options for Current Day

Hello!

Currently, on the 'position' view the current day is highlighted a very pale yellow which doesn't really stand out amongst the other columns. It would be a great help if we could either choose the color and density of the highlight or if you could introduce a more enhanced highlight to the one at present.

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

 

Higher Fidelity Employee View Display

It would be great to have a tab similiar to the shift planning employee view (or a modified version) that would allow us to see all shifts/leave/appointments that our employees have to quickly figure out who is available and who isnt with more fidelity. Allows our schedulers to quickly "at-a-glance" see who is available to work and who is not.

Shift request Display

We have shifts that are multiple days and it would be incredibly helpful for a toggle option to be added to the app so that if desired, the length of the entire shift can be displayed. For example, if the shift goes from Monday to Thursday, the shift can be toggled to "banner" from Monday to Thursday. It would also be helpful to allow full names to be displayed instead of just initials. These changes would greatly improve a quick "at-a-glance" view of the app!

Shift Request Filter Function

We need to be able to filter the shift requests by facility or position. Can we get a filter option added to the shift request page?  This way we can see only the shift requests that we need to approve (as supervisors or managers) but still have the ability to see or approve any site if needed.

Thanks

Quick View of Open/Unfilled Shifts

We rely on an at-a-glance view of the schedules, but (despite your schedule view) the current position colors don't help to clearly and quickly determine which shifts are open vs. filled.  Please consider changing the appearance of UNFILLED/OPEN SHIFTS so they look different from filled shifts.  For example, a filled shift would be filled in with the corresponding position color, whereas an unfilled shift would have a border in the same color as the corresponding position color but would otherwise be unfilled or white.
 

Open Links

I'm happy to see there's the ability to add a click here link in messages, but it defeats the purpose if 
you can't open it on your mobile device, which is how most utilize this app in our company.
So, can you allow the link to open on a mobile?

Also, the ability to copy and paste into training posts and the ability to edit without every edit alerting everyone each time would be nice as well.   And the ability to add photos and links would be great too.
 

Salesforce Native Integreation

Adding a native integration of all the ShiftPlanning and Training data to Salesforce will be a great value to the platform and will allow better HR manegement. 

Add job_code to payroll filtering.

We'd like the ability to filter payroll data (in the Payroll view) based on specific job codes.  Managing multiple locations and employee job positions would be easier if this were enabled somehow.

Time at "Who´s on now" / Dashboard

Hi, 
it would be so great if there would be the option to hide the "arriving time" at "who´s on now"

Is there a way to let the employees only see the list of who is on now without the time? 

Hide Statistics from staff profile

That would be great if we could disable or hide the "Statistics" box in employees profiles. We do not want them to see their statistics in their profile.

Include Performance Management Functionality

I would love a module in the tool that allowed me to track custom metrics for each staff member, and report based on those metrics for performance purposes. (i.e. attendance, customer service feedback, task completion, quality of task completion, etc.) all by custom frequency - annually, monthly, weekly, daily. 

This should give a score similar to the Karma score that managers can use to recommend promotions and pay rate increases.

break rules

currently, the break rules are set up in the following:
If an emplo
