Team Calendar & employee management improvements

The Team Calendar is now easier to read with employee colours, clearer half-day leave and optional weekends, alongside several improvements to managing employee details and time off.

A clearer, more flexible Team Calendar

We’ve made several improvements to the Team Calendar to make it quicker to see who is away and exactly what has been booked.

  • Each employee is now automatically given their own colour on the Team Calendar, making it much easier to distinguish between team members at a glance.
  • Full-day and half-day absences are now much clearer.
  • Half days show whether the employee is away in the morning or afternoon.
  • Employee colours remain consistent throughout the calendar rather than changing each time.
  • Today and upcoming absence information has also been updated to make the length of each absence clearer.

Choose whether to show weekends

Not every business operates seven days a week, so companies can now choose whether Saturdays and Sundays appear on the Team Calendar.

A new setting is available under Company & holiday year:

  • Show weekends on the Team Calendar

Turn this off and the calendar will display Monday to Friday only.

Existing companies will continue to show weekends by default, so nothing changes unless an administrator chooses to turn them off.

Better employee management

We’ve also improved some of the everyday tools available to owners, admins and managers.

  • Employee names can now be corrected or updated from their profile.
  • Employee email addresses can be changed using a confirmation process for the new address.
  • Owners, admins and managers have improved controls for correcting employee time-off records when something has been entered incorrectly.

These changes are designed to make Awayly easier to manage day-to-day while keeping the Team Calendar clean, clear and useful for different types of businesses.
