What's New: March 2026

Inactive Employees Tab

The Inactive Employees list has moved to a new tab within the View Employees page to help you navigate your team records more efficiently. You can now toggle between your active and inactive staff members in one centralized location under the Team menu.

• Access the updated list by navigating to Team and selecting View Employees.
• Search for specific individuals within the Inactive Employees tab independently from your active roster.

7shifts iPad App

iPad users can now enjoy a seamless mobile app experience tailored specifically for tablet screens. This update replaces the previous web-based view with a native interface that matches the 7shifts mobile app for a more consistent workflow.

• Access your schedule and communication tools through a scaled interface designed for iPadOS.
• Ensure your device is updated to version 2026.10.2 or higher.
• Switch to a web browser at app.7shifts.com if you prefer the classic desktop experience on your tablet.

Canadian Labor Compliance

7shifts has updated Labor Compliance settings to support provincial Reporting Pay rules and federal Right to Rest requirements across Canada. These updates help you maintain compliance by automatically flagging scheduling gaps and calculating minimum pay top-ups based on your specific jurisdiction.

• Reporting Pay is now supported across all provinces, including British Columbia, to calculate top-up costs for 2, 3, or 4-hour minimum pay rules.
• Right to Rest alerts are available for the Canada Federal Jurisdiction to flag instances where employees have fewer than 8 hours between consecutive shifts.
• New customers who provide their location during account setup will have these jurisdiction-specific settings enabled by default.
• Existing customers can manually enable these updates within their Labor Compliance settings to avoid immediate changes to their current workflows.

Scheduling Templates for Mobile

You can now create, apply, and manage scheduling templates directly from the 7shifts mobile app to speed up your weekly drafting process. The following capabilities are now available through your mobile app: 

• Save any drafted or published weekly schedule as a template. 
• Fill your schedule from a template to automatically assign employees based on their availability and roles.
• Rename or delete saved templates on the go to keep your department's scheduling library organized.
