🎉 New: Birthdays & Work Anniversaries in Weekly Digest

The weekly “Who is off” email can now include upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries. Admins can choose whether to show these sections using simple toggle switches in communication preferences. This helps teams stay connected, recognise important moments, and build a stronger workplace culture — all within the same weekly update.

🎂 New: Date of Birth Field for Employees

Employee profiles now include a Date of Birth (DOB) field. This information is securely stored and available within employee details, making records more complete and easier to manage.

📡 New: Company Events in Calendar Feeds

Calendar feeds now include company events and blackout periods when exported to third-party calendars such as Google Calendar or Microsoft Outlook. This ensures employees see important non-booking dates alongside their leave in their personal calendars. The feature can be enabled or disabled at company level, giving admins full control over what is shared externally.

👥 New: Multiple Direct Supervisors

Employees can now have multiple direct supervisors instead of just one. This better reflects real-world team structures, where staff may report to more than one manager across projects, departments, or locations. It improves approval workflows, visibility, and communication, ensuring the right supervisors stay informed and can take action when needed.

👀 New: Visibility Group feature for Team View

A new Visibility Group feature gives admins more control over who can see whom in Team View. You can create custom groups using individual employees, whole departments, or locations, so people only see the teams that matter to them. This is ideal for larger organisations, multi-site companies, or businesses that want clearer visibility without showing the full company to everyone.

🧾 New: Bulk Leave Booking

Managers and admins can now book leave in bulk for the entire company, selected departments, or specific employees. This saves significant admin time and ensures everyone is updated at once. Especially useful for company-wide closures such as Christmas shutdowns, office moves, or special events.

📅 New: Year Selector in My Calendar

My Calendar now includes a year selector, so you can clearly switch between company years. This lets you see allowance, bookings, and remaining balance for each year separately. It is especially useful near the end of the year, when employees start planning leave for the new year and need a clear view of what they have left in both years.

🚫 New: Disable Half-Day Bookings

A new control allows you to disable half-day bookings while still permitting full-day and hourly requests. This gives you more flexibility to match company policies and working patterns. Ideal for organisations that do not support half-day leave but still need precise control over time off.

🏦 New: Clear Public Holiday Visibility

When a public holiday overlaps with a weekend, the public holiday colour now takes precedence in Team View and Calendar. This gives everyone a clear and accurate picture of non-working days at a glance. No confusion, no missed holidays — just better visibility for planning and scheduling.

⚡ New: Quick Booking from Team View

Booking time off is now even easier. Simply click on any date in Team View and the booking form will pop out instantly. This makes leave booking faster, simpler, and more convenient for everyone.
