GetBizApps attendance fixes for shifts, half-days and resignations

Four attendance fixes shipped on 5 October. Each one makes the records match the rules you set.

Approved shift changes take effect on their start date

An approved permanent shift change now starts on time without anyone having to apply it by hand.

Checked every 15 minutes

The system looks for approved permanent shift changes whose start date has arrived and applies the latest one for each employee.

Dated changes are left alone

A change with an end date is not made permanent by this process.

Shift rotation follows your office-open days

Set your office days once, and the rota follows them.

One source for office days

The shift rotation calendar uses the office-open days set in Attendance Settings. The organisation defaults on the work schedules screen now show those days read-only, with a pointer to Attendance Settings.

Closed days are blocked

A shift cannot be added on a closed day. Copying a week skips closed days and shows a message.

The edit shift form saves cleanly

Saving a rota shift without changing its times no longer fails with a time-format error.

Half-day marking and a clear message for employees without a shift

A half day is measured from shift start

The half-day threshold is judged against when the shift starts, so a late arrival past that threshold is recorded as a half day.

A clear message when there is no shift

If an employee has no shift for the day, clocking in shows "Shift is not assigned for today." Nothing is recorded until a shift is assigned.

Accepted or rejected resignations stay locked

A decided resignation should stay decided. It now does.

Edit and Delete appear only while pending

The Edit and Delete options appear only for resignations still waiting for a decision.

Decided resignations are refused even if changed directly

If someone tries to change or delete a decided resignation another way, the system refuses and says it can no longer be edited or deleted.
