January 18th 2022, Release Note: WFM UK | Stream: Viewing Published Future Shifts

What's Changing?

Wider availability of the Pay Schedules API to Stream to enable “published future shifts” visibility within the Stream app. When employees are scheduled to work, these shifts will be available to view in the Stream app along with their estimated associated earnings.

Release date: January 18th 2022

Reason for the Change

A key benefit for employees using the Stream app is better visibility over their earnings ahead of payday, making it easier to budget and plan. This change will give employees visibility of worked and upcoming shifts each week/month. By giving employees a more complete view of their earnings, each pay period, it should be even easier for colleagues on volatile pay to better predict their income and plan accordingly.

Customers Affected

All customers using either Scheduling or Labour Productivity alongside the Stream app in their organisation. Customers using the Rota module will not be affected.
