Release notes.

Time and attendance

Tip distribution by location groups: It is now possible to group multiple locations together in order to assign shared tip pools to them. Managers can then distribute tips across an entire group instead of location by location.

Premiums visible in the activity log: The activity log for a time entry or shift now shows premiums that were added or removed manually, as well as those removed automatically during a recalculation, along with the reason for the removal.

Approving time entries from tip distribution: When a day has time entries that need approval before tips can be distributed, the prompt button now leads directly to the relevant entries, regardless of any saved employee filters — so the view no longer appears empty.

Documents

Excluding signees from a signature request: When requesting signatures on a shared document, it is now possible to exclude certain people from the audience before sending. Excluded people never receive the request, and automatic audience syncing will not add them back afterward.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Dashboard – weekly budget: Fixed a bug that caused the Weekly budget widget’s dropdown menus to overlap the projection buttons on small screens.
• Scheduler – shift tasks: Fixed a bug that caused the start time and instructions of a task to overlap in the Tasks panel.
• Time and attendance – tip distribution: Fixed a bug that caused the week selector to disappear entirely when no week had tips to distribute; those weeks are now shown greyed out instead, without being selectable.
• Time and attendance – tip pools Fixed a bug that prevented cascade steps from being removed when switching from a multi-step distribution to a simple distribution.
• Time and attendance – tip pools: Fixed a bug that caused a visual jump when opening the panel to create or edit a tip pool.
• HR – employees: Fixed a bug that prevented adding or editing an employee when assigning a location and one or more positions.
• General – account security: Improved security when enabling multi-factor authentication (MFA); other open sessions are now automatically closed, and email confirmation is now required before setting up an authenticator app.

Time and attendance

Cascading and sales-based tip distribution: Tip distribution now has its own page in the organization settings. Administrators can enable sales-based distribution there, and managers can create multi-step tipping conventions in which each step distributes a portion of the accumulated tips based on a percentage of sales or of submitted tips. Employees can submit their sales when clocking out or starting a break.

Weekly tip distribution: Managers can now distribute tips on a weekly basis rather than daily. Eligible time entries are grouped by week, allowing tips to be calculated and distributed once per week.

Scheduler

Schedule template management for supervisors: Supervisors can now manage the schedule templates for the locations they supervise.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Time off – time off requests: Fixed a bug that prevented the leave type filter from visually resetting when clicking Reset.
• Time off – bulk creation: Fixed a bug that prevented the automated time off tip link from leading to the public holidays tab, where these time off entries are configured.
• Time and attendance – contracted hours: Fixed a bug that caused a duration in minutes to display without a unit, which could then be read as hours. The unit is now always shown.
• Time and attendance – reminders: Fixed a bug that caused timesheet finalization reminders to be sent to organizations whose Time and attendance module was enabled but not yet configured.
• HR – remuneration: Fixed a bug that hid the option to add a rate, without explanation, when an employee had no valid primary location. The rate summary now displays an alert describing the situation, along with a link to the role settings to correct it.
• General – public API: Improved the public API to distinguish salaried employees from hourly ones. The rate_type and weekly_hours fields are now exposed, allowing payroll and HR integrations to calculate a salaried employee’s effective hourly rate.

Time off

Linking time bank transactions to time entries: A time bank adjustment transaction can now be associated with a specific time entry. When an entry has such transactions, its duration can no longer be edited and the entry can no longer be deleted, in order to preserve the integrity of the associated adjustments.

General

Employees with an annual salary: It is now possible to add an annual salary to employees, whose pay stays the same regardless of the number of hours worked. Vacation and paid time off are deducted in timesheets as usual for organizations using Time and attendance.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Scheduler – shift tasks: Fixed a bug that allowed organizations without the Plus plan to add shift tasks from the mobile app, even though this feature is reserved for that plan.
• Time off – public holidays: Fixed a bug that disabled certain future public holidays in organizations with more than one time off region. The affected public holidays have been automatically re-enabled.
• Documents: Fixed a bug that displayed the previously visited page’s title in the browser tab when opening the Documents section, instead of the correct title.
• Documents: Fixed a bug that caused an error when uploading a corrupted or incomplete audio file. A clear error message is now shown.
• Settings – roles and permissions: Fixed a bug that allowed a manager to raise an employee’s role up to their own permission level.
• Settings – integrations: Fixed a bug that displayed some checkbox labels twice in the configuration of certain payroll integrations.
• Various visual improvements: Several minor display adjustments were made throughout the application.

General

Chosen first name display: A new setting in Permission management allows administrators to disable chosen first name display across the entire organization. When disabled, only legal first names by default appear throughout the app.

Expenses

Resource column in reimbursement request export: The Excel export of reimbursement requests now includes a Resource column for organizations using the Resources module. The column is next to the position and shows the resource associated with the request.

Messenger

New GIF provider: GIFs available in Messenger are now provided by Klipy, replacing Tenor.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Dashboard – Pay period summary widget: Fixed a bug that caused a warning to appear even when all alerts had been resolved.
• Scheduler – schedule templates: Improved the visual presentation of the Week view, including scrollbar harmonization and Total column spacing.
• Vacation planner – Coworkers with time off filter: Fixed a bug that caused coworkers with regular shifts to appear instead of those with time off.
• Settings – Canadian bank account: Fixed a bug that caused digits entered in the Institution field to be cut off.

Time and attendance

Tips in payroll exports: Tips received are now included when syncing payroll with Employer D or Nethris, as well as in the custom export.

Bug fixes and improvements

• Time off – editing a request: Fixed a bug that caused old dates to remain visible in the form preview when editing the date range of an existing time off request.
• Employees – import: Fixed a bug that caused the import to fail silently when two positions or locations had equivalent names once normalized. A clear message now prompts users to rename one of the entries as soon as the file is validated.
• Time and attendance – premiums: Fixed a bug that caused certain premiums to be applied inconsistently from one week to the next, with a recalculation failing to resolve the issue.
• Timesheets – spontaneous premiums: Fixed a bug that prevented spontaneous premiums from being carried over from a shift to the time entry when the end time was edited manually rather than recorded through clock-out.
• Documents – timesheets: Improved access to the “Cancel signature request” action in the document viewer for timesheets, including when opened from the Timesheets page.
