What's New 🧚

Previously, managers couldn't see team members' leave balances when approving requests, and staff had to check their payslips since this information wasn't visible in Timble. Now, leave balances sync directly from the payroll system to Timble, allowing managers to view balances during the approval process and enabling staff to check their available leave when applying.

Leave balance at a glance

The leave balance tab is available on all staff members' profiles, showing their available leave balances.

Sync leave balance in a few clicks

After each pay run, payroll administrators can export leave balance data from Crystal Payroll and import it into Timble to maintain current balances.

Note: Only Crystal Payroll is available at this stage. We will introduce other payroll systems later.

Enhanced visibility for managers

Managers can now make faster, more informed decisions by viewing leave balances during request approval. This prevents leave over-allocation and improves workforce planning.

Optional employee access

Control whether employees can view their leave balances. When enabled, team members can check their available leave before submitting requests, minimising back-and-forth communication.

Getting started

Access the Leave Balance feature in your account settings. Enable it and select your preferred display units to streamline your leave management process.

Announcement Confirmation

Managers can now require confirmation for announcements they make in Timble. This feature ensures important communications are acknowledged by team members.

• Managers can track who has confirmed reading the announcement
• Staff members can easily mark announcements as read
• Improves communication accountability within teams

Enhanced Shift Note Visibility

We've improved the visibility of shifts containing notes by adding a dedicated icon indicator.

• Staff can now instantly identify shifts that have important notes attached
• No more need to check each shift individually for notes
• Saves time and ensures important shift information is not missed

These updates focus on improving communication and visibility within teams, making it easier for both managers and staff to stay informed and organised.

With this new feature, businesses can now specify which team members are allowed to use their personal devices for clocking in and out. This provides better control and security for your time tracking system.

Key Benefits:

• Restrict time clock access to specific team members
• Prevent unauthorised clock-ins from personal devices
• Maintain accurate time tracking records
• Better compliance with workplace policies

How It Works:

(1). Access the member time clock settings.

(2). Switch to the "Specific team members" option for allowed team members.

(3). Save your changes - team members who are not allowed to clock in using a personal device will see the following message.

Announcements

Keep your entire team in the loop with our new Announcements feature! Send important updates, celebrate achievements, or share policy changes directly through Timble. Reach specific departments, locations, or your entire company with just a few clicks.

Making announcements

Creating announcements is simple and intuitive. Choose your audience (company-wide, specific locations, or departments), write your message, and hit send. Perfect for team shoutouts, operational updates, or important reminders.

Tracking announcement engagement

See who's received and read your announcements in real-time. Our engagement tracking helps ensure your important messages reach the right people at the right time.

Shift length warning

We've added a helpful warning notification when creating shifts that are longer than 12 hours, helping you maintain staff wellbeing and manage extended shifts more effectively.
