Who doesn’t love a fresh new look? You may have noticed the People tab and employee profiles have a new look and feel. We have redesigned it for better navigation and so you can find & edit the information you need quicker. We’ve also reorganised and decluttered a few existing sections:

• Profile includes personal details, employment details (where they work, training, pay, working hours), journals
• Scheduling will have everything related to shifts, unavailability and leave
• Activity includes news feed

This update is currently available for Scheduling, Time & Attendance, Premium accounts. Enterprise accounts coming next year!

And it's not just a pretty face! The new People tab is loaded with new features:

• Pay by area: pay your staff different rates for higher duties, like working in a specific area or with hazardous equipment
• Agreed hours & overtime: do you want your staff's overtime period to be calculated over a 2 or 4-week period? now you can! For example, Emma's agreed hours are 45 hours for two weeks, therefore she will be paid overtime when she exceeds 45 hours within a two week period.
• Regular working hours (next month): do you have staff who work the same days and time every week? set up their working hours so you can auto-schedule them each week 
• Request documents(Australia only): managers can now request documents during the onboarding process, things like certifications, licences, signed contracts etc. You won’t be able to upload a document to send to new hires (yet) - coming later this year.
