Timesheets

The way to view and approve all hours worked is changing during June*. Timesheets will help you easily see all hours worked, shift details, and paid hours for each shift. With the new overview, you can efficiently fix incorrect data and be sure not to miss important shift details before payroll. More information will follow; stay tuned!

Planday app updates:

The following app updates were released to a few Planday organisations and are now available to a wider group*.

  • Punch-In Reminders: With the new Punch in reminders, you'll never miss the start of your shift again. Just like a friendly tap on the shoulder from your favourite coworker, it's here to make your life easier.

  • Not allowed to use the phone during your shift? Say hello to live shift activity on your lock screen! It's like taking a sneak peek at the recipe before it's cooked. Stay informed and stay ahead of your shift without opening your phone. (Available on phones with lock screen widgets support.)

Accurate punch reminders and real-time shift stats reduce the likelihood of missing punch-ins, freeing up your time from correcting entries and allowing you to focus on more important tasks. These notifications can be set by employees on their Planday app and require no set up from admins.

Make sure to use the latest versions available for Android or iOS, updating to newer versions as they are released.
