Shift Details Visibility

For users with high privacy concerns, we've hidden some details on co-workers' shifts for regular employees so only admins can see shift types (e.g. sickness) and punch clock entries in the schedule view.

Please contact support if you would like to enable this feature.
​
​
​PDF payroll print - Sort by date

Under payroll, and payroll report, you can create a PDF printing document. The document is sorted by employee group by default, and you can now also choose to sort by date, allowing for a better overview of weekly shifts numbers.
​

Fixed salary supplements

Some users choose to use a fixed amount when paying supplements for overtime or weekend shifts, as opposed to a percentage of the salary. This is now supported in Planday.

Revenue Units per position in Schedule

In the Revenue module, you can now attach a revenue unit to a specific position, so you can track both costs and revenue for the various units of your business.

New Print function

We have updated our Print function - it now allows to display your filters and gives you the same overview and experience on print and on screen.

Support for Portuguese

Planday is now available in Portuguese, on web and mobile! Set Portuguese as your company's portal language for new employees, or directly on your personal account.

Mobile Help Centre

Late to Punch Out status added to Attendance Widget

This new section in the Attendance Widget provides you with an overview of employees who are late to clock out from their shifts. You can use this to send a reminder to employees who forget to punch out, or are accruing unapproved overtime.
