Updates completed and released in February:

For web:

For the Planday app:

For the Kiosk app:

Until recently, you could see details revenue and costs reports for one Department or all. Now, you can choose which Departments to include or exclude from your revenue reports.

Under Reports > Revenue, you can select which departments to gather payroll costs and revenue data in one report, to assess the performance of a selected group of departments.

As a reminder, the exporting data including payroll costs and revenue data requires Admin permission (more details about permissions in this article).

If you are using Filters when viewing your Schedule, you might notice that you no longer need to re-apply your filters every time you navigate back to your schedule.

To allow you to work smarter, not harder, we've added support for filters persisting throughout a login session and even in between sessions, if you log out.

Filters will remain in place if you:

Please note, this does not apply if you switch between browsers or users while using Planday.

1. Support for defining an accruing period for employee absence accounts

Depending on your needs for managing absence for your employees, you can now pre-define an accruing period for an employee's account.

This can mean either setting a start date & end date to the employee account, upon creating it or using the pre-set default dates (which will match the commonly used dates for the vacation period/year according to the local regulations).

Setting a start date will allow you to automatically account for the hiring date for a new employee, while the end date will provide the option to consider the termination date for an employee or whether an employee needs to switch from one absence account to another.

Please note that when creating multiple employee accounts at once, the end date will be pre-set according to your template settings. You can change the end date after the account has been created, by click on Edit for that account.

2. As a precautionary measure, unit conversion is no longer possible.

This means that if you have created an Accrued vacation account (template) with an accruing rate in Days, you cannot switch to Hours while editing the account.

This is meant to prevent accidental changes to your absence accounts or miscalculations.

3. Support for hours/year as Accruing rate

For Accrued vacation accounts, it is now possible to set a rate of accrual that accumulates hours per year and a maximum allowance of a set number of hours per year.

With an accrual rate like that, the number of hours corresponding to the rate will be added once per year.

As a reminder, you can set the Accruing rate and Max. Allowance for an Accrued vacation account when creating a new one, from Settings > Absence, Overtime, Vacation > Account types > Create.

The app will now notify you when there is no internet connection,

This should help identify login errors faster and give you a clear indication of whether a poor or no internet connection is preventing you or your employees from punching in.
