8th April 2026 Release Notes

New Features and Changes

1. Two new columns have been added to View Rota to show break information. The 'Break duration' column shows the duration of the break on the shift, and the 'Break Paid' column shows a tick if the break is paid and is blank if unpaid

2. Staff Hub - Shifts for the current day that have ended still show on My Rota 

3. Admin Hub - When attempting to change a staff member's username to one that already exists, a new message is shown with instructions for how the staff member can change it and link their accounts together

4. Statutory Sick Pay - The setting for 'Use previous 2 pay periods for SSP Average Weekly Earnings Calculations' can be set for each Rota Group by going to Rota Settings > Rota Groups > Other . This setting will be adopted for all new staff members added to the Rota Group

5. Statutory Sick Pay - The setting for 'Use previous 2 pay periods for SSP Average Weekly Earnings Calculations' can be updated in bulk for staff within each Rota Group by going to Personnel > Personnel Manager > Quick Edit. For staff where the setting has changed, their SSP contributions on sickness adjustments will be recalculated to reflect the change
