Users of the Workforce App will now be sent Notification reminders and alerts! These Notifications will remind them to sign in and out from their shifts based on their plan. As part of the Fatigue Management process, capturing when Staff actually start and end their shifts is important to generating accurate rest, fatigue and risk.

The initial batch of Notifications will be sent for the following reasons:

• 1 Hour before the scheduled start of the Shift, to remind the User about their upcoming shift.
• 30 minutes before the expected finish of the Shift, to remind the User that they are approaching the end of their shift.
• 30 minutes before they will have been on-site longer than the on-site rule (and then when they breach the rule).
• 30 minutes before they will have a door-to-door longer than the door-to-door rule (and then when they breach the rule).

If you choose to not have these alerts/reminders sent out, then Organisation Admins can disable notifications via the Settings module in Fatigue360. 

If your Clients have different On-Site & Door to Door Rules you can set these up for use in rostering in Fatigue360 and these notifications. If you aren't sure how to do this, contact us via the helpdesk: helpdesk@workforce360.co.uk

Today, we’re excited to announce a much-requested feature for Fatigue360 – customisable minimum rest length. This new feature makes Fatigue360 even more comprehensive and as you no longer have to apply a blanket minimum rest rule – it can now be tailored to individual client requirements. 

This can be customised in two ways:

• Organisation Admins can now set up the desired minimum rest length for the Organisation via the Settings screen in Fatigue360.
• Organisation Admins can now set the desired minimum rest length for a specific Company via the Organisation Dashboard. This has been added alongside the fields for the On-Site/Door-to-Door rules.

Note: Any changes will only affect future Events. Any Event that has finished or is currently underway will use the previous value (e.g., 12 Hours)

New Features and Enhancements

Upload Word & PDF documents to a planned shift, under two categories ‘General Shift Documents’ and ‘Risk Assessment’. Documents can be uploaded under the Media Section or via the new icon added at the top of the Shift sidebar. ‘Risk Assessment’ documents are automatically removed when Staff Members are unassigned.

• Admin Users can view all files uploaded in Fatigue360 and what they are associated with.

• Additional Media upload options to come in future updates to Events & Staff

New Features and Enhancements

• Fatigue360 Accommodation Import
  • Users can use the Excel Template to capture all required information needed.
  • Users can also export their bookings from Roomex and upload them into Fatigue360.
  • Like other Importers in Fatigue360, if any issues are found with the upload these will be shown to the User for them to resolve or choose not to import.

• Staff Creation will now opt out Staff Members from the 48 Hour Working Time Directive by default.
• Staff Importer updated to highlight the specific fields that have an issue.
• If a User had a username generated, then this will now be shown on the User profile on the Organisation Dashboard

Bug Fixes

• Slow loading time when viewing a User’s profile from the Organisation Dashboard
• Fatigue360 Dashboard didn’t remember the selection of date/team made after navigating away.
• Selecting the ‘Allow Access to Workforce App’ when creating a Staff record wouldn’t link the User account and email the individual.
• Start/Finish times on the Shift Importer would ignore an invalid year value e.g., 20223.
• Workforce App Links in the email linked to the production or demo versions of the app rather than just the production version.
