What's New?

• Access it via: Schedule Tab → Insights dropdown → Show Hours in Areas
• A breakdown of daily total hours by area, comparing:
  • Scheduled hours (including both filled shifts and all shifts)
  • Daily budgeted hours per area
  • Actual hours (from timesheets, available only when viewing past dates)
  • Compatible with sub shifts from Micro-scheduling

Why the Change?

By comparing budgeted, scheduled, and actual hours in one view, managers can make more informed, data-driven scheduling decisions—without the need to toggle Areas on and off in the Stats Panel to check daily hours data.This feature also serves as a valuable add-on, offering a more tailored experience for managers to monitor Micro-scheduling hours by area.

Please check details from the help doc here.

What's New?

• Improved error handling by enhancing the import logic to better detect and manage errors, with improved editing capabilities to make corrections easier.
• Support for Micro-scheduling sub shifts by introducing a new optional field, "Group Reference", to support importing Micro-scheduling rosters's sub shifts.
  • For standard (single-area) rosters, this field can be ignored.
  • For Micro-scheduling rosters, only the sub shifts need to be included in the file, each with the same Group Reference to indicate they belong to the same parent Micro-scheduling shift.
  • These enhancements make it easier to manage complex scheduling needs at scale.

Why the Change?

Bulk Import Schedules from File is a powerful tool that streamlines the bulk setup of rosters—especially valuable during the implementation or easily migrating from excel/google sheet into Deputy digital solutions. 

The new changes also support for Micro-scheduling schedules to be seamlessly imported into your Deputy account that will help you setup many rosters in a shorter period by significantly reducing the onboarding time and efforts.

How to use?

Please check details from the help doc here.

What's new ✨

We're excited to introduce a new location setting that enables team members to claim and request open shifts, swaps and offers - even when they are marked as unavailable!

Why 🤔

Life is unpredictable - sometimes, team members may want to pick up shifts even when they are typically unavailable otherwise. 

For managers, this setting opens up an extra pool of team members to fill shifts, reducing time and effort spent managing shift coverage. It's a win-win!

Rollout ✅

This location setting is now available to all accounts. 

You can enable it by going to:

Locations > Edit Settings > Scheduling > Creating and publishing shifts

What's new ✨

• Modifying pay rates - changing how much is paid, or thresholds for rules like overtime
• Adding Shift Differentials, for items like night shift payments
• Automating allowances based on areas, custom fields, and more

This new tool for system administrators continues to allow users to simplify and streamline their compliance needs, giving greater cost accuracy for all of your team members. Users can start with our pre configured library labor laws and modify them to meet their needs, or start from scratch and build their own pay rates.

How to use it 🤓 

System Administrators will be able to find the Pay Rate Builder in business settings under the pay tab once it is enabled in their account.

Further help documents are available here, outlining how to edit contracts and pay rules for greater simplicity!

Rollout 

The improvements will roll out to all accounts in the US and UK over the coming weeks. Australian and other countries will come later this year.

What's new ✨

We’re excited to announce updates that make managing and picking up Open Shifts with Approval and Find Replacement shifts smoother than ever! 

The following improvements will be available in your account soon: 

• Team members can decline Open Shifts with Approval or Find Replacement invites. This will help narrow down your pool of potential team members for unfilled shifts, saving you time and effort.
• Managers can decline Open Shifts with Approval requests from team members. This will help enhance communication and ensure team members won't be left in the dark if they haven’t been selected for a shift.
• General improvements to viewing and editing Open Shifts features. You can now view Shift Details and make certain edits to shifts, such as adding Shift Notes, even if there are already requests.

What's new ✨

We’ve added a helpful alert for scheduling managers! Now, if you try to schedule a team member who hasn’t finished their onboarding process, you’ll receive a warning. Don’t worry, you can still choose to ‘schedule anyway’ if needed.

Why 🤔

Making sure everyone is fully onboarded before they start working is essential for a smooth operation. In the past, managers might have accidentally scheduled new hires who weren’t fully prepared, leading to disruptions and compliance issues. With this new feature, you can avoid those pitfalls and ensure your team is always ready and compliant from day one.
