NEW: Unpaid Break Flexibility
Unpaid Breaks can now be scheduled whether or not they are required by labor rules. Previously, unpaid breaks could only be assigned to a shift when required by the Meal Period labor rules in each State/Province. Now, there is no limitation to how many unpaid breaks an employee can be scheduled to receive. This allows for managers to have more flexibility when creating schedules.
Daily Hours Calculation
With this enhancement, the calculation for Daily Hours has also been updated:
Daily Hours = Total Scheduled Shift Hours - Required Unpaid Breaks - Additional Unpaid Breaks
Example
In the example below, one 30-minute unpaid break is required for shifts greater than 8 hours, as determined by the Meal Period labor rule.
When scheduling a shift in Teamworx, we'll see that the first 30 minute unpaid break does not decrease the employee's Daily Hours. Since this break is required by the labor rule it has already been accounted for in the Daily Hours calculation. When an additional unpaid break is added, the Daily Hours is adjust down as well.
Enhancement: Consolidated Employee Maintenance
The Employee Maintenance screen now has a consolidated view, allowing users to view and edit employees at all locations they are linked to, regardless of what location they're currently signed into! To access this feature, users will need the NC-Emp. Maint. Summary Screen > Consolidated Employee - All Locations permission enabled.
Note: When the Consolidated Employee Maintenance view is enabled, employees from alternate locations will not be indicated with an asterisk (*) before their Employee Number. If you would like to see a consolidated list of employees that are eligible to work at the current location, we recommend using the Employee List in Teamworx.

NEW: Shift Feedback
The new Shift Feedback (aka Attestation Clause) feature allows employees to submit feedback in a survey-style questionnaire at the end of their shift. These questions and answers can be customized, with the option to prescribe positive, negative, and neutral values to the answers.
Note: Employees can currently complete any assigned feedback from their My Shifts Worked screen in Teamworx web.
Managers will be able to review the responses from the new Attestation Clauses Report in Net-Chef!

NEW: Labor Rule Compliance Report
Keeping up with the increasingly complex labor laws can be difficult and time consuming. That's why we've created the new Labor Rule Compliance report. This report cross-checks your stores’ labor rule configuration with local, state and federal laws, and then flags any rules that need corrective action.
Attention: If you're interested in enabling this report, contact your CSM to get started!

NEW: Sales Forecasting APIs
We added new Sales Forecasting APIs that allow users to import and export forecast data, making it easier to create detailed and accurate forecasts in Net-Chef. Data can be imported and extracted based on three different time increments:
- 15-Minute Sales by Revenue Center
- Hourly Sales by Revenue Center
- Daily Sales
Note: Unlike other API connections, the formatting of this integration differs from the Sales Forecasting (268) CDP import.

Tip: Knowing whether Sales Forecasts were auto-generated or manually entered is important because these forecasts directly impact Suggested Order, Suggested Prep, and Ideal Hours.
