Diurna: Staff Scheduling

• New: the employee app now has a time clock. From their phone, people can clock in and out (and log breaks) and see their hours in "My hours". The employee app is switched on business by business • For employers: the "Team now" page shows who is at work right now • Optional location check: if the business or its payroll firm turns it on, the app checks at clock-in that you are at the workplace. Your exact location never leaves your phone • Working-time checks: when an entry clashes with another, the message tells you which entry is already there and what to do • Scheduling: a rest check between one working day and the next; the scheduling panel and on-call shifts are checked like other entries • No entries before the start or after the end of a contract: the message shows the contract date • Late arrival and early departure now count only the minutes missed • If a check cannot be run, saving stops and you are asked to try again • Records page: editing an entry now follows the rules too • If an on-call shift is blocked and cannot be cancelled, we now explain why • Rules by country: maximum work without a break and daily rest follow the business's country. In the United Kingdom and Portugal, the payroll closing day stays open until midnight, local time • Businesses that run their own payroll can see and edit their own working rules in Settings • Austria: a new working-time checks page, date of birth now required, a choice of rules (statutory or the hotel and restaurant agreement), and an average of normal hours with its payroll export • Employees: one single check for the employee form and for bulk upload. Fixed-term contracts need an end date, with a note in the employee list • Chat: a reply that repeats endlessly is no longer shown, and the app asks again • Guides and help (i) updated with the new rules • Chat: a notification bell in the chat header, for employers and employees • Employer chat: the history in the side menu is grouped by month and year • The side menu now starts below the status bar • In-app help for employees: four updates. Overtime alongside other entries on the same day, overtime rules, late arrival or early departure counting only the minutes missed, and requests after the end of a contract. The tip for adding an extra shift on top of the usual one now matches the app: set the usual shift to Day off, then add the shift
