MANAGERS ONLY SEE THE TEAMS AND PROJECTS THAT CONCERN THEM
Groups of managers who do not work in the same location or department often face this kind of error: the manager of team A approves the availability of team B, a manager in Montreal approves the schedule of the team in Quebec, etc.
Now, managers' access can be limited to their employees only, but this remains optional, depending on your management processes. To activate this feature, go to the Admin portal > Configuration > Permissions. Then click on the permission group of your choice and check the "Can only see their projects/teams" box.
To find out if this option is enabled or not, you can see that the "Reports to me" filter is active by default in all search fields of the application.
RECURRENCE AND MULTIPLE SHIFT CREATION CAN BE USED AT THE SAME TIME
For even more speed in the software, it is now possible to create several shifts in one shot - with the Multiple Creation option - which can be repeated as often as you like - with the Recurrence option.
In the example below, with a few clicks we have created 16 shifts spread over four days, it couldn't be easier!
If you assign an employee to a shift that is part of a recurrence sequence, you can check the option "Change all shifts in the future of this recurrence". This will cause the employee to be assigned to all identical shifts that are part of the sequence.
The same system applies if you want to delete a shift that is part of a recurrence sequence. By clicking on the "Delete Recurrence" option, all identical shifts that are part of the recurrence will be deleted.
THE MANAGER CAN SEARCH FOR AN EMPLOYEE WITH AN EMAIL ADDRESS OR EMPLOYEE NUMBER
To find employees even faster in the software, we have added new search options. For example, in all Merinio search fields, you can enter the email address of the employee in question, as below!
Also, in the Users module only, you can select users using their employee number. Click on the selected 0 button > Paste employee numbers > Enter the numbers separated by a space OR Enter the numbers separated by a line break.
EMPLOYEES CAN CHANGE THEIR OWN PRONOUNS WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THEIR MANAGER
In order to give employees complete empowerment, they can now edit their own pronouns if they wish. To do this, users can click on their name at the top right of the screen, then on "My profile", this is where they will find the "My pronouns" section.
USERS CAN LOG IN WITH THEIR EMPLOYEE NUMBER
It's so easy to forget or lose your login information, it happens to everyone! To address this issue, employees can now enter their employee number in the "login" box when they log in.
To ensure that the employee number is not lost, it is also located in the "Important Information" tab when the employee clicks on their name in the top right corner of the screen.
ABILITY TO LIMIT BREAKS TO DEPARTMENTS
Sometimes each department within a company has different break rules, so we've adapted!
To create a department-specific break, go to the Admin portal > Time & Attendance > Breaks > Create Break.
