We’re pleased to introduce significant enhancements to roster efficiency, approval control, and non-billable shift management across Sygnal Web. The focus is on reducing friction during shift creation, improving payroll classification governance, and aligning non-billable behaviour with standard shift workflows.
Key Highlights in v2.82
⚡Quick Roster – Roster Creation Enhancement
The Roster module has been enhanced with a structured Quick Roster workflow to support faster shift creation and simplified operational planning.
Dedicated Quick Roster interface within Roster Creation.
Reduced input steps for frequently created shift types.
Streamlined staff and client selection process.
Faster configuration of: Service, Shift timing, Location, Funding/billing settings.
Improved responsiveness when handling multiple roster entries.
System Behaviour
Users can initiate shift creation via Quick Roster without navigating through multiple configuration screens.
All standard validation rules remain enforced (service eligibility, availability, etc.).
Created shifts follow the same approval and payroll lifecycle as standard roster shifts.
Compatible across Day, Week, and Month calendar views.

🔧Not Billable Shift Enhancement – Web
Non-Billable shifts are now managed similarly to regular shifts, with the same lifecycle and tracking behaviour.
A new “Force Accept” button is available at the top of the Non-Billable shift creation screen.
The previous automatic force-accept setting on publish has been removed.
Now, roster admins can choose to force acceptance of the shift during creation or allow staff to manually accept/reject via Staff Mobile.
Now, a non-billable shift can be published with a location and can be saved or published without a location.
Now the Staff user can add 'Staff Notes' for the non-billable shifts.
These can be viewed under the 'Notes' tab on the staff profile, along with the Not billable shift ID for filtering and references.

Enhancement to the Payroll Approval module, enabling dynamic shift classification between Active and Sleepover.
A toggle labelled “Sleepover” is now available within the Payroll tab: ON → Shift treated as Sleepover and OFF → Shift treated as Active
-
The Payroll Approver can change the toggle regardless of:
Original shift configuration
Staff amendments submitted via mobile
Toggle can be changed at any time before payroll finalisation.

When the toggle state is modified, payroll classification updates immediately.
