Introducing Leave Entitlements Bulk Management, a brand-new feature designed to save you time and minimise manual errors when managing your team’s leave data. Previously, bulk actions were limited to adding entitlements, forcing managers to individually update records one by one — a process that was often time-consuming and error-prone. With this update, we have removed that friction, giving you greater speed, accuracy, and flexibility to manage leave policies at scale.

What’s New ✨

• Bulk Add: Efficiently add multiple leave entitlements to one or more employees in a single action.
• Bulk Remove: Quickly remove existing leave entitlements for one or multiple employees, completely eliminating the need for manual, individual deletion.
• Bulk Replace: Overwrite existing data by replacing current leave entitlements with new ones, ensuring your records are always up-to-date with the correct values.

How does it work?

1. Navigate to the People tab and use the filters to display the relevant team members.
2. Select the checkboxes next to the team members you wish to update, or select all.
3. Click the Bulk actions menu and select Manage leave entitlements.
4. From the modal, choose your desired action: Add, Remove, or Replace leave entitlements.
5. Select the specific leave entitlement(s) from the dropdown list and click the confirmation button (Add/Remove/Replace) to apply the changes instantly.

When will it be available?

This feature will be rolled out progressively to customers starting from December 2025. 

Once available, you will find this functionality within the People tab under the Bulk actions menu.

For further details on setup, principles, and other FAQs please read our Help Article.

We plan to deprecate the legacy Add Shift Modal in Schedule Web by the end of 2025.

If you still see this screen when adding or editing a roster from the web, note that it will be replaced by the new Add Shift Popover starting from 30th October 2025.

Why

• Up-to-date technology stacks for better reliability.
• Improved user experience — cleaner, and more intuitive, designed to feel familiar like other modern calendar tools (e.g., Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook).
• Full feature parity with the legacy modal — everything you could do before, you can still do now.
• A foundation for Micro-scheduling with Single Pay Rate, enabling smoother operations when managing multiple schedules for a single employee in a day.

  • Multi-select with Bulk Update/Delete
    
  • Shift patterns
  • Revamped Shift History
  • And more are coming
