💬 Chat
Now, when you receive a message in a language that’s different from your Connecteam app language, you can instantly translate it directly within the conversation, no copy-paste or switching between apps. Translations happen in place, so you can stay focused and keep the flow of the conversation going, no matter what language your teammates are using.
⏰ Time Clock
Admins can now enable Break Waivers for manual breaks from Time Clock settings.
When employees miss an eligible break, they can submit a waiver instead of having the break marked as a violation. This helps keep timesheets accurate while reducing unnecessary compliance issues. The waivers are recorded and visible in the Timesheet Issues section.
Time Clock now allows admins to manually add additional pay per day — bonuses, commissions, tips, reimbursements, mileage allowance, etc. The amounts flow automatically into pay calculations, reporting, and payroll exports — no manual side-calculations.
🌴 Time Off
Time Off is constantly getting better! Check out all of our new capabilities-
Make clear and accurate changes to employee time off balances. You can now add, deduct, or set a balance, include a note explaining the change, and track granted time off separately from balance corrections. This gives admins better visibility, creates a clearer audit trail, and makes it easier to answer employee questions with confidence.
You can now manage PTO accrual periods and accrual timing independently. This gives you more control over how and when time off is granted, helps align accruals with payroll schedules, and provides greater visibility into future balance calculations.
Set a waiting period before new employees can request time off. This helps ensure team members complete their initial onboarding period before taking leave, making it easier to manage schedules, staffing, and workforce planning.
Set an expiration period for carried-over PTO to ensure unused balances are used within a defined timeframe. This helps you manage PTO policies more effectively, reduce the accumulation of unused time off, and maintain better visibility into employee leave balances.
Set a minimum/maximum balance limit for any PTO policy to control how much time off employees can accumulate. When an employee reaches the defined limit, accruals automatically pause and resume once their balance falls below the cap. This helps you stay aligned with company policies, manage PTO liabilities, and provide greater visibility into employee balances.
⏰ Time Clock & Time Off
Admins can now set a Scheduled Pay Date in Time Clock payroll settings, creating a stronger connection between payroll processing, PTO accruals, and employee balances.
The Pay Date represents the date employees are expected to be paid for a given payroll period. Adding this information creates a stronger connection between payroll timing, PTO accruals, and employee balances, enabling more accurate Time Off calculations.
In addition, by aligning Time Off calculations with payroll timing, employees and admins can see PTO balances that more closely match what's reflected on paychecks—reducing confusion and eliminating the need for manual reconciliation.
