Here are some improvements that we made for leave management. 🙂
You can now filter leave requests by departments, which can be useful if you are managing multiple departments.
We have updated the sorting for leave requests based on their status:
Previously, the maximum date range for a leave request in the Timble web app was 30 days. Now, you can add a leave request for up to 90 days (Timble mobile app still has a maximum of 30 days).

We have made significant improvements to the Xero integration.
Now you can search for members by their names, which is very useful when you have a large team.
If you have multiple pay calendars for different types of employees, you can select the appropriate pay calendar during the first step of the exporting process.
The exporting process has been enhanced to handle a large number of staff members' timesheets more effectively. Additionally, you now have the ability to resend failed members' timesheets without having to resend everyone's timesheets, saving you time!

If you are using Crystal Payroll and have staff members with different pay rates depending on the hours worked, such as different pay rates for weekends, you can now take advantage of this feature to split your timesheets into multiple entries with the corresponding pay rate.
Here is an example to demonstrate how it works. For instance, let's say you set up two rates for Monday:
Suppose a shift started at 3 PM and finished at 10 PM on Monday, with an unpaid break of 30 minutes. When you export the Crystal Payroll CSV, you will see two entries:
The break is always deducted from the longest entry.
Therefore, when you import this CSV into Crystal Payroll, the system will automatically recognise the hours for each pay rate, eliminating the need for manual calculation.
To set up pay rates, follow these steps:
Next, select the hours and pay rate based on your needs for each day of the week.
If staff members are only on Pay Rate 1, regardless of the time they worked, you can exclude them from these rules.
Here is an example of exported CSV file.

We've added GPS tracking to our time clock app to ensure staff clock in and out at the desired locations. When enabled, the time clock app collects GPS location information during clock-in and clock-out. You can review this data when approving timesheets, allowing you to verify staff presence and avoid paying for hours outside the actual work sites.
To enable this feature, go to Settings -> Time Clock App, turn on "Enable collecting GPS location" option, and then make sure time clock app is updated to v2.2.0 or newer.

The leave calendar facilitates tracking of team leave requests within your business for both you and your managers. Approved leave requests are represented by blue entries on the calendar, while pending requests are indicated by orange entries.
Want to start fresh by clearing the entire roster? Now you have the option to clear the full roster for a specific department.
You're all set to begin anew.
May 26, 2023
You now have the option to show the total hours for members or days on the printed roster. This feature allows you to use the information for analytics purposes or for staff to easily know the hours they need to work.
If you need to update a staff member's login email, you can now do so directly on their profile. Updating the email address on the profile will automatically update the login email for the staff member.

Timble mobile app now allows staff members to submit their own leave requests, eliminating the need for managers to manually load the requests. Managers can simply approve or decline the requests, saving time for both managers and staff members.
Once this option is enabled, staff members will need to update their mobile app to version 1.4.0 or newer. After the update, they will see the "Leave" menu in the Accounts screens of the Timble mobile app.
In terms of leave permissions for managers, the "can add/approve leave request" permission has been retired and replaced with three new permissions:
These new permissions provide precise control over what managers can and can't do regarding leave requests. By default, leave requests will be sent to the department manager. If no one in the department has the permission to approve or decline leave requests, the requests will be sent to the admin for approval or decline.
Previously, shifts had to be removed when adding a leave request. However, with the new update, shifts and leave can coexist on the same day. For example, if a staff member is assigned a shift and then gets sick, they can submit a sick leave request. The manager can then tag the shift as "Sick" to keep a record of it for future reference.
This page allows managers to easily add, edit, and filter leave requests without the need to open each member's profile and switch to the Leave tab. This streamlines the process and makes leave management more efficient.
April 11, 2023
As of today, staff members can now submit their own unavailability directly through Timble mobile app. This means that managers can easily see who is available when creating weekly rosters, without having to manually look up emails or rely on staff members to notify them in advance.
To enable this feature, just go to Settings → General, and turn on “Allow team members to submit unavailability” option.
With this new feature, staff members no longer need to send emails about their unavailability, saving them time and reducing the risk of miscommunication. Managers can also save time by quickly reviewing the unavailability information in our system, instead of having to track down individual emails.
Staff members who have not been assigned shifts for the week may inquire about the roster's publication status. Now, they also receive email notifications once the roster has been published. Just need to select “Publish all shifts” when rostering is completed.
