The Feature Requests page allows you to submit your ideas for improvement, as well as vote and comment on those left by other users. Please get involved and help us to decide what to develop next!
Rota Approval Page Update
We've improved the rota approval page to make managing shifts even clearer. Now, users are displayed in the same custom order as the rota (when set up), ensuring consistency across both the rota and the rota approval page. This small but impactful change makes it easier to review and approve rotas quickly, without having to adjust to a different order of names.
Holiday Cap for Irregular Hour Workers
Opsyte now allows you to cap holiday entitlement for employees with irregular hours. These workers will continue to accrue holiday, but their entitlement can be limited to the statutory maximum of 28 days (5.6 weeks) per year, inclusive of public holidays.
To cap this employee's holiday accrual, go into the staff list and select the employee. Once in their profile select Holiday.
You can then select Edit Holiday Allowance
Here you will see any historical changes to this employees holiday cap. To make a change you will need to enter a start date that the cap applies from, then the number of days.
Click save changes, to view the update you can go back into the holiday accrual and check if the employee has reached their days cap. Here you can see the first employee has reached their cap, this is visible by the small information marker next to their name.
If you hover above this marker you can view the shift length and actual accrual vs capped.
Google Reviews
Opsyte now integrates directly with Google Reviews! Your daily snapshot email will include the latest five reviews, giving you quick visibility on customer feedback. Reviews are updated nightly, and you can also trigger a manual refresh at any time to see the most up-to-date comments.
