What's New

Admins can now use Reports → Timesheet Audit to review the history of timesheet activity in one place.

See clock-ins, edits, imports, approvals and other recorded changes, including who made each change, when it happened and the status it left behind.

Filter the report by date, location, department, team member, event or person to quickly find the activity you need.

Audit history is available for changes recorded after this update.

Fixes & improvements

• The employee roster no longer shows empty staff rows when Show on Roster is turned off and the employee has no published shifts.

‍

Unavailability information is now easier to understand directly from the roster.

Recurring unavailability is marked with a repeat icon, making ongoing patterns easier to spot. You can also turn on Show unavailability notes from the roster’s View menu to see details such as appointments or RDOs without opening another page.

Fixes & improvements

• Greyed-out roster shifts now explain why they can’t be edited and where changes can be made.
• Xero employee mapping errors are now shown clearly without closing the setup window.
• Fixed an iPayroll export issue that could leave the page stuck while loading.

‍

Break planning is now easier from setup to roster.

You can set default paid rest breaks and unpaid meal breaks for each role. When you create a new shift for that role, Timble automatically fills in the break times—so you don’t need to enter the same details again and again.

You can also turn on Show breaks from the roster’s View menu to see break lengths directly on each shift, without opening shifts one by one.

Improvements

• Shift editors now use clearer New Zealand terminology: Rest break (paid) and Meal break (unpaid).
• Report figures can now be selected and copied directly into a spreadsheet.
• Staff assignment locations are easier to navigate, with safer location and department selection.

Your rostered shifts can now appear directly in your phone’s calendar — no need to keep checking the Timble app. Set it up once and your shifts stay up to date alongside your personal events.

Sync with Apple Calendar (iPhone/iPad)

Open the Timble app, go to Account → Calendar Sync, and tap Sync with Apple Calendar. Your phone will ask you to confirm the subscription — tap Subscribe and you’re done. Shifts appear in Apple Calendar automatically.

Sync with Google Calendar (Android)

Go to Account → Calendar Sync and tap Sync with Google Calendar. This opens a short guide that walks you through adding your shift calendar to Google Calendar. It takes a couple of minutes to set up.

• Shifts show the date, time, location, department, and role
• Your calendar updates automatically when your roster changes
• Covers shifts from 90 days ago to 180 days ahead
• Your calendar link is personal to you — don’t share it publicly

Managers can now submit leave requests to specific approvers instead of having everything route to admin accounts. This creates clearer approval chains and keeps manager leave requests private.

The problem we solved

Previously, when managers needed time off, their requests would automatically route to the admin account, often someone in payroll or accounting who shouldn't be approving leadership-level leave. This broke real organisational hierarchies and forced teams to handle manager approvals outside of Timble.

Now managers can choose the right person to approve their leave — whether that's their GM, another department lead, or whoever makes sense for their team structure.

How to set it up

Before managers can use this feature, you'll need to assign the right permissions:

1. Go to a manager's profile in Settings → Members
2. Under Permissions, enable "Can approve/decline manager leave requests"
3. Repeat for each manager who should be able to approve other managers' leave

Only managers with this permission will appear as approver options when other managers request leave. Your admin account is always included as a fallback option.

Requesting leave as a manager

When you submit a leave request, you'll now see an Approver field. The list shows managers in your departments who have approval permissions — so you'll only see people who actually make sense for your team structure.

Select your approver and submit. They'll get notified right away, and your request stays private between you, the approver, and admin.

Approving manager leave requests

If you've been given the "Can approve/decline manager leave requests" permission, you'll see pending manager requests in your approval queue on the web dashboard. They appear alongside member requests, one unified place to review everything that needs your attention.

Approve or decline just like you would for any other request. The manager gets notified immediately via email and push notification.

Privacy and visibility

Manager leave requests are only visible to:

• The manager who submitted the request
• The selected approver
• Admin accounts

This keeps personal leave reasons private from peer managers and the broader team.

‍

You can now block leave days to keep your team available during important dates.

This feature allows managers and owners to stop staff from submitting leave requests on restricted dates. The only exception is paid sick leave, which staff can still request if they’re unwell.

Add blocked leave days

Set blocked dates or ranges in your Leave Settings. Once saved, staff will not be able to request leave on those days.

See blocked days on the roster

Blocked days are highlighted in the roster header, so managers can clearly see which dates are restricted.

Manager permissions

Control who can block leave days by enabling the new permission “Can block leave days”.

Staff experience on mobile

If staff try to request leave on a blocked day, they’ll see a clear message explaining the restricted days.

We’re excited to announce that Timble now integrates with iPayroll (New Zealand)!

With this integration, you can:

• Seamlessly send approved timesheets from Timble to iPayroll
• Save time on manual data entry
• Improve payroll accuracy and efficiency

👉 Getting started is easy — just follow the steps here: www.timble.co.nz/integrations/ipayroll-nz

Member Time Clock Break

Members can now easily log their breaks directly in the time clock app while using personal device mode.

Member Time Clock Note

Add important notes for managers to review when clocking in or out of shifts (e.g., arrived at work on time but forgot to clock in), so managers can make adjustments when approving timesheets.

Unplanned Shifts Rounding

Automatically round unplanned shifts according to your preferences. Previously only rostered shifts could be rounded.
