  • Automatic tip pool distributions that allocate tips among participating staff and allow employers to define unique distribution rules, such as 'equal share' or 'proportional to hours worked'
  • Improved scheduling efficiency that enables managers to schedule multiple shifts in a single action
  • More precise labor forecasting that gives employers the option of setting open/close times for the entire enterprise or for individual operations
  • Transfer employee enhancements that permit the transfer of employees in both standard and advanced HR module configurations
