   • Fixed 12:11

     Team calendar: notes stay visible on a page that has been open for long

     An open team calendar reloaded its entries regularly, but the notes in the calendar only when the page was opened. If that request failed or a note was added later, it was missing from the tooltip until you reloaded. Notes now update together with the entries.

     • When someone changes a note, everyone with the team calendar open sees it shortly after, without reloading.

   • Improved 11:13

     Team time: offline entries with day and time

     When a terminal recorded entries without a network connection, the notice under Team time now lists the day, type and time for each person. Click a day to open that person's times with the day already expanded, including the terminal's clock time.

     • For an entry rejected at the terminal, “Open times” now also takes you straight to the right day.

     For HR Time recording

   • New 10:12

     Absence types as wishes, such as “afternoon off if possible”

     Under “Settings › Absences” you can now mark a type as a wish. Such an entry shows in the team calendar, but the person can still be planned: a shift on the same day is allowed, and an existing one stays in place. The switch starts off.

     • A wish credits no hours. The time account and the weekly hours in the shift plan only count what is planned or worked.
     • Staffing rules such as “at most two away at the same time” count the person as present.
     • In the team calendar, a wish day with a shift shows both: the wish's code at the top left and the shift below it.

   • New 06:32

     Two-factor sign-in for your account

     Under “My account” you can now protect your account with an authenticator app on your phone as well. After your password or sign-in link, Tiveo then asks for a six-digit code. This is optional; if you do not turn it on, you sign in as before.

     • Set it up with a QR code or a key to type in, for example with Microsoft Authenticator, Google Authenticator or your phone's password manager.
     • You also get ten recovery codes. If you lose your phone, one of them still gets you into your account; two-factor sign-in is then off and your other devices are signed out.
     • Turning it off needs a current code from the app. The setting applies to your account in every company.

3. Thursday 5 November 2026

   • New 17:19

     Birthdays in the team calendar

     A small add-on under Settings › Absences, switched off to begin with. Once it is on, HR enters the date of birth next to the start and leaving dates, and the team calendar shows who has a birthday when, with the age they turn in brackets if wanted.

     • The display starts switched off for every person. The calendar only ever shows the day, or the day and the age, never the date of birth itself.
     • Everyone can see and change their own display under “My account”, and can enter their date of birth there themselves.
     • In the team calendar a corner marks the day, in the month view a small cake. A birthday today gets a badge next to the name, and the start page lists the next two weeks.
     • Switching it on requires the data processing agreement version of 5 Nov 2026. After switching it off, you can delete all stored dates of birth in one go.

     For Administrators

   • Changed 17:19

     Data processing agreement, version of 5 Nov 2026

     The data processing agreement and the deletion policy now cover the birthday calendar and company documents. Owners conclude the new version under Settings › Data protection, where you can also see what has changed. Until then the previous version stays in force; the birthday calendar and the vehicle logbook can only be switched on afterwards.

     For Administrators

   • Improved 16:25

     Shifts & time: now for the whole year too

     Under Reports › Shifts & time you can now choose the year as well as the month. The table then shows each person's duties, day types and recorded hours from January to December.

     • All CSV files are available for the whole year as well.
     • A reported week that spans two months appears as one week in the year view.

     For HR

   • Improved 12:31

     Signing in without a password: a code in the email and clearer hints

     If you use “Sign in without password”, the email now also contains a code. Enter it in Tiveo when the email is on a different device from the one you are signing in on.

     • After sending, the page shows which address the link went to, reminds you to check your spam folder and explains that each new link replaces the previous one.
     • If you open a link that was already used or has expired, the sign-in page now says so and lets you request a new one straight away.
   • New 11:17

     Stand-in: someone from another department helps out

     Shift planning now has “+ Stand-in”. Use it to plan single shifts for someone outside the area, for example management or a colleague from a neighbouring department.

     • The stand-in appears below your own team, with their department, and only in weeks with a shift. You set the shift in their row like for everyone else.
     • You can choose anyone you plan anyway. Only those who usually plan the person can change their shifts. Everyone else sees them in the plan, but not their absences.
     • The shift counts towards demand and mandatory staffing. If a mandatory staffing rule names the whole area, the stand-in counts there too.
     • If shift planning does not apply to the person yet, for example in administration, an administrator turns it on for them in the same dialog.
     • Settings › Shift planning lists who it is turned on for in this way. You can end it there as well.
     • In the view by department, “Assign” offers stand-ins as a group of their own.

   • New 16:08

     Move or remove several shifts at once

     In the team calendar and in shift planning you can now select several shifts and drag them to other days or to another person. If someone is on leave, a week of on-call duty moves in one go.

     • Ctrl+click selects single days, Shift+click or Shift+drag every shift up to there. In the team calendar you can also drag a period and choose “Select”.
     • While dragging you can see where the shifts will land. “Move …” works without a mouse: pick another person, a new first day, or a week earlier or later.
     • If a shift cannot go, for example because of approved leave, nothing changes at first. Tiveo lists the days and asks whether to move the rest.
     • After moving, “Undo” is ready. Published shifts stay published and count as changed, just as when you edit them by hand.
     • In shift planning, Shift+arrow keys and Ctrl+X then Ctrl+V work as they do in a spreadsheet.

     For Shift planners Shift planning

   • Fixed 09:51

     Required staffing: only departments from the same area

     Under “Who counts” you could pick any department of the company, including one that is planned in another area. Nobody from it is scheduled in this plan, so the check report showed a gap every day. The list now only offers departments that can count in this area.

     • An existing rule pointing to another department is marked in the setup. Add it again where that department is planned.

     For Shift planners Shift planning

   • New 00:22

     Search with Ctrl+K: find pages, settings and employees

     Press Ctrl+K (⌘K on a Mac) or click “Search” at the top right, next to the time clock, to open a search on any page. It lists every page you can see, and Enter takes you there. Before you type anything, it shows what is waiting for you.

     • If you manage settings, you can look up a single one, such as “Rest period”. The search opens the right tab and highlights the row.
     • If you manage or lead employees, you can find people by name. Enter opens their overview, Shift+Enter their details.
     • Requesting leave, colour scheme and language work from the search as well, and with time tracking so do clocking in, breaks and clocking out.
     • Short forms work too: “tcal” finds the team calendar.

5. Tuesday 3 November 2026

   • New 23:02

     Data backup: automatic and encrypted to your storage (beta)

     Under Settings › Data backup the owner backs up all data and files of the company to their own storage at night, daily, weekly or monthly. It is part of the paid plans.

     • Backups are encrypted with your own key. Tiveo only receives the public part and cannot open them.
     • The destination is a WebDAV folder (such as Nextcloud or Synology), an S3 bucket, or an email reminder if you prefer to download yourself.
     • Owners and administrators see in the header when the last backup ran and whether it worked. If it fails several times, the owner gets an email.
     • The full export by hand also counts as a backup and appears in the history.
     • Data backup has its own tab under Settings. Under Integrations, data backup and full export now sit side by side, and the overview is grouped by topic.

     For Administrators

   • Improved 10:10

     Swapping on-call weeks: any week up to a year ahead

     If you have a week of on-call duty, “My shifts” now shows it as one entry instead of seven separate days. “Hand over / swap” suggests the whole week. For a swap, you can pick other people’s weeks up to a year ahead instead of six weeks.

     • Pick the person first, then their week. The list shows how many weeks each person can offer.
     • Only weeks you can both take on are offered. Weeks where either of you is off are left out.
     • Single days of the week can still be handed over using “From” and “To”.
     • A 24-hour shift now reads “from 00:00 · 24 h” instead of “00:00–00:00”.

     Shift planning

   • New 10:10

     Documents: instructions and rules from your company

     Under “Documents”, the company keeps what everyone should know, such as how to request leave or how on-call duty works. Employees read it there and download it as a PDF, but cannot change it.

     • HR and administrators write a document right in Tiveo, with headings, lists and bold text, or upload a finished PDF of up to 20 MB.
     • A written document downloads as a typeset PDF with one tap.
     • A document applies to the whole company or to selected teams. Groups such as “Work instructions” keep the list tidy.
     • New and changed documents are marked “New” or “Updated” until opened. Tiveo does not record who read what.
     • The menu item appears once the first document exists.

6. Monday 2 November 2026

   • New 16:36

     My time: how your time is recorded

     My time now shows how your time gets into Tiveo: in the app, at the terminal, automatically on the PC or from the roster, and whether a forgotten clock-out is set.

     • Anything booked automatically is listed there, not only in the monthly list.
     • If clocking in at the terminal is switched off for you, the terminal says so after you log in.

     Time recording

   • New 16:17

     Ways of recording time: who records their time and how

     Settings › Time recording has a new overview. For everyone, each unit and each person it shows how time is clocked: in the app, at the terminal, automatically on the PC or from the roster. Existing settings do not change.

     • Figures at the top: how many record in the app, at the terminal, at the terminal only, on the PC or from the roster. A click filters the table.
     • Values apply from the top down. An own value is shown bold with a dot, an inherited one faded, and the tooltip names the source.
     • Clicking a row changes all ways for that level at once, from a chosen date.
     • New: clocking in at the terminal can be switched off for a unit or person. Without a setting it stays on.
     • Notes where something does not fit: for example terminal only but no terminal access, or workplace only but none set up.
     • HR sees the overview under Team time › Ways of recording; administrators can change it.

     For HR Time recording

   • New 15:48

     Overtime off in hours

     With time tracking, overtime off can now be requested for part of a day, for example from 14:00 to 16:30. The request shows what it costs the time account.

     • In the request for overtime off, choose between “Whole days” and “Hours”.
     • On the right you see the time account: balance today, overtime off already planned, this request and what remains afterwards.
     • The day stays a working day. The account goes down by the time not worked that day.
     • Approvals, the team calendar and “My leave” show the time instead of “1 day”.
     • Managers and HR can also enter hours for others.

     Time recording

   • New 14:15

     Training and other absences: recorded times can count

     An absence such as training counts as a day worked. New is the switch “recorded times count instead of the credit” for each absence type. It starts switched off; without it, nothing changes.

     • With the switch on, only the recorded times count against the target on a day that has times.
     • Anyone who spent longer in training gets extra hours. Anyone who spent less works the rest or takes it from the account.
     • If no times are recorded that day, it still counts as worked.
     • With half a day of leave and half a day of training on the same day, the leave stays credited.
     • Set under Settings › Absences for the absence type in question.

     For Administrators Time recording

   • Improved 10:50

     Time account: entries count right away

     An opening balance, a correction or a payout now shows in the time account right away, not only the next day. Hours worked still count up to yesterday, because the current day is not over yet.

     • Below the balance it now says “Times up to yesterday” instead of “As of yesterday”.
     • This applies wherever the account is shown: My time, Year overview, the start page and the terminal.

     Own domain: Tiveo at your address (beta)

     From the booked Business plan you can also open Tiveo on a subdomain of your company, for example time.your-company.com. You find it under Settings › Access and roles, and the owner sets it up.

     • You verify your domain and add a DNS record, and Tiveo obtains the certificate itself. You get an email as soon as the domain is active.
     • Anyone who only works in your company then signs in at your address, and their emails link there.
     • app.tiveo.de keeps working. If your domain has a problem, emails lead back there by themselves.

   • Fixed 08:36

     A thorough review: time, leave, rosters and permissions

     We went through Tiveo carefully and fixed many faults. Several figures are now calculated more precisely, and no customer's balances changed as a result. Error messages now name the value, and the full export also contains Personio, DATEV and profile pictures. For new versions of the terms and the data processing agreement, Tiveo shows what changed.

     • Clocking in without a connection now tells you straight away. HR sees rejected terminal entries with the person, type and time, and starting a trip shows you if clocking in failed.
     • Time account: changing team or region no longer alters past days. The daily target adds up without a remainder, supplements only count within the time frame, and DATEV gets hours net of breaks.
     • Leave: pro rata twelfths count from the day someone joins, extra leave is prorated too, remaining leave no longer lapses during maternity protection or long illness, and a deficit can carry over.
     • Rosters: half a day of leave now books only half the shift. The plan check recognises split shifts, the 48-hour average and free Sundays, and the repeated hour when the clocks change counts correctly.
     • Permissions: "View as" no longer shows who is clocked in, managers don't see confidential absence reasons, and someone else looks after your own leave balance and personal details.
     • New switches, all off to start with: keep days without a clock-out separate as unclear, calculate leave entitlement by months, and hide planned departures from colleagues.

     English DATEV texts: tax adviser, not tax office

     The English interface said “tax office” for DATEV, which means the tax authority. The texts now say “tax adviser”, which is who imports the file. The description of the vehicle logbook now says “company vehicles”.

     For HR Time recording

   • Fixed 23:59

     Emails are no longer lost during an outage

     If the mail server was down for a while, Tiveo gave up on waiting emails after about an hour, including confirmations. They now wait for up to seven days and go out as soon as the server is back.

   • Changed 23:56

     Only administrators can invite administrators now

     From now on only owners and administrators can grant the administrator role, including through an invitation. HR chooses between standard, manager and HR when inviting someone.

     • Only owners and administrators can change the address of an open administrator invitation. HR for a section cannot change the address of an open HR invitation either.
     • Open invitations stay valid and can be sent to the same address again.

     For HR

   • Fixed 23:52

     Switching companies: the page starts fresh

     Switching between companies kept the filters and selected people of the previous one, which left the list empty. The page now starts fresh after the switch.

   • Fixed 23:51

     HR: “Settings” is now in the menu

     HR may set up absences, qualifications, integrations and imports, but the menu offered no way to get there. “Settings” now appears under “Company”. Permissions stay as they were.

     For HR

   • Fixed 23:50

     Timesheets: loading errors are now reported

     If the connection dropped during bulk printing in the month-end close, a sheet without hours was created silently. Printing now stops and tells you what happened, and you can start it again.

     • This also applies to the Excel workbook.
     • A sheet you may not see still doesn't hold up the print.

     For HR Time recording

   • Fixed 23:47

     Long lists show all their rows again

     In larger companies some lists silently stopped at 1000 rows, so people late in the alphabet were missing. This is fixed.

     • “Shifts & time” report and project times: everyone in the month.
     • Shift planning: the comparison of planned hours and target covers everyone, even across two months.
     • Qualifications and rejected requests: complete.
     • Patterns and weekly templates: the preview and the result count every day. Everything was already being created.

     For Managers

   • New 19:20

     New module: vehicle logbook (beta)

     You start a trip the way you clock in. Odometer readings follow on without gaps, every change stays visible and each vehicle gets a yearly logbook. It is included from the Team plan at no extra cost; switch it on under Settings › Company › Modules once the current data processing agreement is concluded.

     • Pool vehicles, company cars and private cars with mileage allowance, which also goes into the DATEV file.
     • It works together with clocking in, the shift plan (a vehicle per shift), licence checks and projects.
     • You can photograph receipts and see costs per km, plus a comparison with the 1% rule as a rough guide.
     • Recording the route of a business trip is a separate switch and off by default; the app never records private trips or commutes.
     • Anything that couldn't be sent without a connection stays on the device for 30 days. The “Not transferred” card shows the exact date.

     For AdministratorsHR

   • Changed 19:20

     Data processing agreement and privacy updated

     The data processing agreement (version 2026-10-30), the technical and organisational measures, the deletion policy and the privacy policy now also cover the vehicle logbook. Owners conclude the new version in the settings. Until then the previous one stays in force; the vehicle logbook can only be switched on afterwards.

     For Administrators

   • New 15:15

     Overview: planned hours against target

     Where time recording is not used, the month view of the overview shows the hours from the roster: rings for the week and the month, and planned and target hours per day and week on the monthly sheet.

     • Published shifts count without breaks, as in shift planning. Appointments and on-call duties do not count.
     • Print, Excel and CSV include the columns.

   • New 15:15

     Terminal can show time account and remaining leave

     There is a new switch for this under Settings › Time recording. It starts off, and while it is off the terminal stays as it was.

     • When it is on, people see their time account (as of yesterday) and their remaining leave for the year after entering their clock-in number and PIN or badge. These are the same figures as in the app.
     • You can switch it on for the whole company, individual teams or individual people. On a shared device, anyone standing nearby can read along.

     For Administrators Time recording

   • Improved 12:46

     A clearer interface: tidier menu and settings

     Finding your way around Tiveo is now easier. Every page, feature and address is still where it was and works as before; what has changed is the layout and the way things are grouped.

     • In the menu, the current page spans the full width, and dividers separate the groups.
     • New “Management” group: Approvals, Shift planning, Team time, Qualifications and Company calendar.
     • “Settings” expands in the menu, with Rules, Company structure, Appearance and License below it.
     • Settings are now rows in named sections, and checkboxes have become switches.
     • Each module has its own icon. It appears in Settings and, where several modules run, at the top of the module's pages.
   • New 12:31

     Overview: now by month as well, with a new timesheet

     The year overview is now called “Overview” and shows either the month or the year. In month view, your figures are on the left and the printable timesheet on the right.

     • Rings for today, the week and the month: hours worked against target.
     • Time account in three figures: end of last month, this month so far, total. Plus leave balance and next shift.
     • The timesheet shows in and out times per block, absences, shifts and projects, weekly totals and summaries of hours, time account and leave balance.
     • Print or save as PDF, plus Excel and CSV. The “Timesheet” button under “My time” takes you there.
     • HR and managers can open a person’s overview from Team time or under “Employees”, with the same rights as in Team time.
     • In month-end closing, “Print all” and the Excel file now produce this timesheet for every employee, with public holidays by their state.

   • New 12:24

     Shift planning: save a week as a template and carry it over

     You can save a planned week as a template and then carry it over to further weeks and months. You will find it in shift planning on the right under “Weekly templates”.

     • All shifts of the week are saved, including custom times, breaks and notes. Up to six alternating weeks are possible.
     • When you apply a template, a preview first shows how many drafts will be created and who is missing on which days.
     • Anyone with an approved absence or a shift on that day is skipped, and public holidays too if you wish. Whatever you changed by hand stays.
     • Only drafts are created. Publish them as usual with the button above the plan.

      Working time from the roster

      There is a new switch under Settings › Time recording. It starts off, and while it is off nothing changes.

      • If someone doesn't clock in on a day with a published shift, the shift is recorded as their working time, with the planned break in the middle.
      • Entries are made two hours after the shift ends, not on days when someone is absent all day. Anyone who clocks in themselves that day keeps their own times.
      • The entries are marked “automatic”. Anyone who leaves earlier or stays longer corrects the day like any other entry.
      • You can switch it on for the whole company, for individual teams or for individual people.

      For Administrators Time recording

    • New 10:51

      Time recording: “Only the shift counts” and “Recognise time outside”

      There are two new switches under Settings › Time recording. Both start off, and while they are off nothing changes.

      • “Only the shift counts”: on days with a published shift, clocked time only counts within the shift. The entries stay; days without a shift count as before.
      • “Recognise time outside”: employees request minutes before or after their shift with a reason, for example when parents came late.
      • Managers or HR decide under “Approvals” whether to recognise all of the time or part of it, or to decline it with a reason. They can also recognise time on their own initiative.
      • Recognised minutes count as working time and go into the hours account. This also applies to the time frame.

      For Administrators Time recording

    • New 10:30

      Two half days on one date: one thing in the morning, another in the afternoon

      You can now enter two half-day absences of different types on the same day, for example leave in the morning and overtime off in the afternoon. Each half counts on its own: the half day of leave comes off the leave balance, the half day of overtime off comes off the hours balance.

      • In the team calendar the day is split diagonally and shows both codes.
      • Two halves of the same type make a full day and are changed as one entry.
      • On a day the person only works half, one half-day entry already covers the whole day.
      • Approving a request with changes keeps the requested half day at its start or end.
    • Improved 10:08

      Correct working time back to the first day

      If a working pattern has a wrong value, such as 30 instead of 32 weekly hours, you can now correct it from its start. Until now, only a new pattern from a later day was possible.

      • Employees › person › “Change working time”: choose the start of the current pattern as “Effective from”, then “Save correction”.
      • Tiveo recalculates the hours account and leave from that day.

      Handbook: how your company works with Tiveo, always up to date

      Under “Handbook” you see how your company has set up Tiveo: who leads what and what each role may do, who approves your requests, which absence types and rules apply. It is dated and can be printed.

      • It is built from the settings each time you open it, so a change there shows up in the handbook straight away.
      • For you personally: your role, your team and its lead, who approves your requests and who sees your data.
      • Time recording, shift planning and qualifications only appear if your company uses them.
    • New 12:32

      HR for a single scope

      The HR role can now be limited to selected units, for example for the lead of one site. That person then only sees and manages the employees there. Without a scope, nothing changes.

      • Settings › Access and roles: anyone who becomes HR is asked “for whom?” straight away, meaning all employees or selected units with everything below them. Change it later via “Change scope”.
      • Within the scope: master data, working time, leave and hours balances, absences, times, invitations. Settings, rules, import, full export, reports and deletion stay with HR for everyone.
      • On each person’s card under Employees, “Who can see this person?” lists every account with access through a role or as a lead, with the reason. Under leads, each unit shows who manages its staff.
      • Since 30 Oct: the team list in the overview shows the leave of everyone in the scope, including CSV. The team calendar and Employees show their leave figures.

      Info material: handout for employees and flyer as PDF

      If you are introducing Tiveo at work, tiveo.de/en/infomaterial has a handout for your employees, a flyer to pass round and a proposal for management, each as a PDF you can print.

      • Prices, modules and screenshots always match the website.
      • The link is also under “Install as app” in the “For your team” card.

      Required staffing: always someone on duty

      Import times from Excel and preview each time account first

      Under Team time › Import, upload Excel or CSV lists of working hours. Before anything is saved, you see for each person how their time account changes.

      • Tiveo recognises columns and people by itself, even with “Start” twice, one sheet per person, one block per month or only day numbers in the date. If anything is unclear, Tiveo asks.
      • Days already in Tiveo exactly like this are skipped. Where Tiveo has different times, you choose: keep or replace.
      • If the list starts before time recording did, an administrator can move the start back. The preview shows every account this changes.
      • Imported days are marked as imported under “My time”, without any emails. You can undo an import.

      Projects: hour budget, weekly overview and people

      • “Weeks”: projects × calendar weeks, per week or cumulative since the first booking. From 80 % of the budget the total turns orange, above it red.
      • “People”: who booked how many hours on which project in the period.
      • Enter the budget under “Edit”. The list and the project then show how much has been used and what is left.

      With “Year | Month” the team calendar shows a single month across the full width instead of the whole year, with no sideways scrolling. Use the arrows to move from month to month, across the turn of the year too.

      • When you switch, the month you are looking at stays in view, in both directions.
      • The star next to the switch sets which view opens first. The year remains the default.
      • In the month view, “Print” puts the month on a single page, and “Export (CSV)” contains just its days.

      Attendance: see who's in today, if you turn it on

      Under Settings › Time recording you decide who can see who is clocked in right now. Everything is off by default. As before, Team time only shows the current day from the next day on.

      • Set separately for HR, for managers (their team or everyone) and for employees (their team or everyone), and also per department or person.
      • You also choose who sees the clock times: nobody, only administration and managers, or everyone who can see attendance.
      • The “Attendance” page shows who is in, on a break, gone for the day or not in. It refreshes every minute and can print a list for emergencies.
      • “Today” shows who is in right now. Under “My time”, everyone sees who can see their status.

      Confirm month: the right list and a clear reminder

      Team time showed “not confirmed yet” for everyone during the current month, although a month can only be confirmed once it is over. The list now shows the month that is due, and employees see the request right away.

      • Team time › Confirmations names the month and shows the previous month while the current one is running.
      • Anyone without a single day of time recording in the month, for example before starting with Tiveo, has nothing to confirm.
      • “Confirm month” appears on “Today” under “Waiting for you” and as a number next to “My time”.
      • A new “Confirm month” email goes out on the 1st of the month, also as a push notification. It is off by default; turn it on under Settings › Emails.

      Departure: entries after it no longer count

      When a person got an end date, later entries stayed in place. Company holidays after the departure, for example, kept coming off the leave balance, although the calendar greys those days out. Now saving the end date removes the days after it.

      • Entries entirely after the departure are cancelled. Entries running past it now end on that day.
      • Under Employees, you see the affected entries before you save.

      • Settings › Absences › “Leads maintain leave balances”: leads see their team under Employees, set the carry-over and enter corrections. The person confirms a correction.
      • Settings › Time recording › “Leads book to the time account”: leads book an opening balance, correction or payout for their team under Team time.

      While planning, you now see for each person how many hours are planned in the week and how many their working-time model calls for. Anyone planned too little or too much stands out before the work is done.

      • At the end of each row the grid shows “planned/target”, below it ▼ too few, ▲ too many or ✓.
      • Public holidays, days off in the company calendar and approved absences are taken off the target; shifts in other areas count too.

      Reduce leave pro rata for parental leave

      Where your company reduces leave for parental leave, Tiveo now calculates it: one twelfth less for each full calendar month of parental leave. It is off by default.

      • Settings › Absences: “Reduce leave for parental leave”. Anyone working part-time for you during parental leave gets an exception.
      • The leave balance shows the reduction on a line of its own, for example “Parental leave (9 of 12 months)”.

      • On days with a deduction, “Break too short” and “over six hours without a break” no longer appear, as long as the deduction covers the statutory break.

      • Example: you enter the summer holiday first and then add the closing day in July. That week of leave now counts one day less.
      • If a day off is deleted, it counts as leave again, recalculated back to 1 January as well.

      Part-time: leave entitlement counts from the right day

      If you entered a part-time pattern during setup, the leave entitlement was often too high: the work pattern only applied from the day it was entered, and Tiveo counted the time before as full-time. You can now correct the start.

      • Open a person › Working time › “Change start”: the first work pattern then applies from, for example, 1 January. Tiveo recalculates entitlement and leave days right away.
      • A first work pattern now starts on the joining date, otherwise on 1 January, not on the day it is entered.
      • Leave entered before the work pattern counts only the pattern's working days after every change.

      Anyone who signs up and doesn't belong to a company yet now chooses first: join a workplace that already uses Tiveo or set up Tiveo for the business. This stops people creating a second company by mistake.

      • When joining, the page shows the address the invitation must go to. Once it arrives, Tiveo opens on its own.
      • Before creating a company, a notice suggests joining instead if your employer already uses Tiveo.
      • Anyone setting up Tiveo for the company, e.g. from HR or accounting, who ended up on the join page can switch there with “Set up instead”.

      • The tick “Requests from … need no approval” creates a rule for that person. Owners and administrators set it; the rule also appears under Rules.
      • Rules › “Turn off approvals”: nobody decides across the company. More specific rules for departments or people take precedence.
      • Rule sentences say more clearly whom they apply to: where only the name used to appear, they now read “of Anna Muster” or “in Sales”.
      • When requesting, a hint under the note says who can read it: only approval and HR, not the team calendar.

      Time clock: the break in the ring

      Next to your work time, the ring now shows your break: an inner ring measures it against the minimum break that applies to your day. During a break, the centre shows how long it has been running.

      • How much break is needed depends on your day and your company’s settings, for example 30 minutes after more than six hours of work.
      • Once the minimum break is reached, the ring closes and turns green.
      • If your day needs no break, there is no inner ring.
      • An interruption only counts as a break from 15 minutes on; until then it shows faintly in the ring.
      • If you clock out and back in during the day, the inner ring stays. The time in between counts as a break from 15 minutes on, once you are clocked in again.

      On Windows tablets the terminal was missing the “Read badge with the camera” button, because Edge and Chrome cannot read QR codes there. The terminal now reads the badge itself, on any device with a camera.

      • The first time you tap the button, the browser asks once for the camera.
      • If camera access is blocked, the terminal now says so. Before, it closed without a word.

      • Shift planning and roster: the whole week fits on a laptop too. Under “Departments” each area sits above its days, with a legend for the short codes. Swap approvals sit at the top of the side panel.
      • Team time: for the current month, a note says the totals run up to and including yesterday. On phones each person gets a card with the balance up front.
      • Company calendar: past entries are shown dimmed, and the counts read like a legend.
      • Who’s on duty: if nobody is on duty right now, the first line says so. A single duty no longer stretches across the full width.

      • My leave: an entry that has already started reads “In progress”. Type, period, days and status stay together, and the calendar subscription is a tile like the others.
      • Time account: the figure carries its unit, such as “−5:25 h”, under “My time” and in your profile under “My leave”.
      • My shifts: even spacing and smaller buttons on a computer.
      • Notice board: the button now says “Mark as read”.

      • Settings › Data protection: the agreement and the minimum group size sit side by side at the top. The audit log names what changed in plain words, such as “Leave balance · Carry-over”.

      Settings › Shift planning is clearer

      The page is more compact and uses the full width. Each step has its own row with a short sentence on what it is for.

      • Shifts and demand share one table: for each shift type its times, break, working time and how many people you need from Monday to Sunday and on public holidays.
      • Clicking the numbers opens the demand of that shift type: days side by side, minimum, target and maximum below each other.
      • The checklists add-on sits in the shift planning card, the shift areas in one bar.
      • Who plans fits on one row, the process is shown as tiles. The defaults for all areas are now called “Defaults for all areas”.

      Shift planning: the break right in the shift

      When you enter a shift, the break now sits next to start and end. It comes filled in, and below it you see how much working time remains. There are no new required fields.

      • The break lies between start and end and is deducted from working time. That is what planned hours and the check report count.
      • For custom times without a shift type, Tiveo suggests the statutory minimum break. The check report no longer reports a break violation there, including shifts already planned from this month on.
      • With a shift type, its break applies as before. If you change it under Settings › Shift planning, it also applies to shifts already planned from today.
      • If a break is shorter than the law requires, the form says so and enters the required break with one click.

      My leave: choose the year, entries for next year visible

      Choose the year next to the heading. Entries for next year already appear under “My entries”, where you can withdraw them.

      • Choosing a year switches the leave balance, entries and calendar, for example to 2027.
      • “Coming up”, the home page and the number in the menu now include requests for next year.

      API as a beta: pull data from Tiveo into your own systems

      Under Settings › Integrations › API, owners and administrators create keys that let your own systems read data from Tiveo, for example payroll, an intranet or reporting tools. The API is a beta and available from the Business plan, including the trial month.

      • Read employees, units, absences, leave balances and holidays; with time tracking also clock events and daily values, with shift planning the published shifts.
      • You choose the scopes for each key. A key only reads sickness and other sensitive absences with a scope of its own.
      • The key is shown once when you create it; Tiveo only stores a fingerprint. Revoking takes effect immediately.
      • You see the calls of the last seven days. The developer documentation is at tiveo.de/en/entwickler.
      • The API is new and still being extended. During the beta it cannot write data yet.

    • Improved 12:16

      Team calendar: leave also shows the days off in between

      Someone who works Monday to Wednesday only and enters leave from Monday to Friday is shown as away the whole week in the team calendar. Thursday and Friday appear paler and do not count as leave days.

    • New 12:15

      Alternating work weeks, leave entitlement for coming years

      People who work different days in odd and even calendar weeks now get two weeks in their work pattern. And the leave entitlement can be set for the current year and the two after it.

      • Example with four days: odd week Mon–Thu, even week Tue–Fri. Leave, entitlement, calendars and target hours use the week of each day.
      • The entitlement uses the average of both weeks: four days out of five at 30 days is 24.
      • Open a person › Working time › choose the year: a value set in the year of joining no longer carries into the next year unnoticed.

      Backups of your data: checked continuously and now shown in System status

      We have rebuilt the database backup. Every change is recorded as it happens, a second copy is kept at another location, and restores are tested regularly. The new System status page shows what we measure, which is not the same as a guarantee.

      • Every change is recorded the moment it happens, rather than once a night.
      • On top of that, a full backup is made every night as the starting point for any restore.
      • A copy is kept separately from the server at another location and is fetched from there with read-only access.
      • The copy is regularly restored as a trial in an isolated environment, and the records are counted.
      • Under System status you can see the current state, the route your data takes and how far back data can be restored. We are alerted automatically if anything looks wrong.

      Shift checklists

      Shift planning has a new add-on. Whatever needs doing during a shift is listed on the shift, and the people working it tick items off, with a comment and photo if needed. Administrators switch it on under Settings › Shift planning. Until they do, nothing changes.

      • Templates are set up per area. Each item can carry a note and “photo required”, and a template is attached to shift types and weekdays.
      • For a single shift, planners add their own items or insert a template.
      • Items can be ticked off on the day of the shift and the day after, on a phone as well, in any of the app’s ten languages.
      • Shift planning shows progress on every shift (e.g. “3/5”) in both views. A card next to the roster lists open and unfinished checklists.
      • Planners see today’s lists and anything left open from yesterday on “Today”. People on a shift find theirs under “My shifts”.

      New sidebar with your logo, in the style you choose

      The menu sidebar now runs the full height of the window with your logo at the top, and the header sits only above the page content. By default the sidebar is grey with the selected item in your brand colour, light or dark to match the colour scheme.

      • Administrators can choose a different style under Appearance: Light, Brand colour, Gradient, Charcoal or Match the page, with a preview for computer and phone.
      • Text and icons are a little more compact, and on Windows they use the system font Segoe UI.
      • If the sidebar has more items than fit, it scrolls on its own, without a second visible scroll bar next to the page.
      • All colours follow your company's brand colour and stay easy to read.
    • Fixed 14:44

      Checkboxes easy to see again in the light colour scheme

      If you chose the light colour scheme while your device is set to dark, checkboxes appeared dark grey with faint ticks and looked disabled. Checkboxes, option buttons and drop-down lists now follow the colour scheme you pick in Tiveo, and the same goes for the dark one.

      Mandatory leave with an admin-only account

      If the company had an admin-only account, creating mandatory leave stopped with an error. It works now, and the admin-only account gets no leave entered.

      • Take Christmas Eve: add it as a half day off and put mandatory leave on the same day. Everyone who would have worked uses half a day of leave.
      • If you delete or change a day off that has mandatory leave on it, the mandatory leave now applies to that day by itself.

      Team calendar shows every entry, without reloading

      For companies with many absences a year, the team calendar left out the entries of the people at the end of the name list. New entries by others also only appeared after reloading the page. Both are fixed.

      • The team calendar loads every year in full, however many entries it has. This also applies to the absence breakdown in Reports.
      • Changes by others show up on their own, usually within seconds: in the team calendar, My leave, the year overview, the company calendar, Approvals, shifts and Team time.
      • If the connection drops, the page reloads every minute and whenever you return to the tab or the app.
    • Improved 00:05

      Invitations with a message, at most one per address every ten minutes

      The envelope icon in the employee list opens the form with the field for a personal message again, even when the address is already on file. Only one invitation goes to the same address within ten minutes.

      • After an invitation the icon is greyed out, and the tooltip says when it works again.
      • This also applies to “Send again”.
      • Open invitations are collapsed, and the heading shows how many there are.

      Leave balance corrections, only once confirmed

      You can now add or deduct days on a leave balance, for example to trade overtime for leave or to clear a negative balance. A correction only counts once the other side confirms it.

      • HR enters it under Employees for the person, and the person confirms it under “My leave”.
      • Employees can request a correction themselves, and HR approves it under “Approvals”.
      • If the person has no account of their own, a correction by HR counts right away. Nobody approves their own request.

      • Settings › Time recording › Change status › Move start earlier. When switching on, an earlier day works too.

      DATEV as a beta: one payroll file per month

      Under Settings › Integrations › DATEV, HR and administrators create one file per month for DATEV LODAS or Lohn und Gehalt, which your tax adviser imports. It is a beta and included in the paid plans.

      • The file holds absences from approved leave and, with time tracking, hours worked, overtime and premium hours from the month-end close.
      • You map each value to your tax adviser’s wage type; the usual absence types come with suggestions.
      • Before each file, Tiveo checks for missing personnel numbers, values without a wage type, open requests and months not yet closed.
      • If something changes afterwards, the next file only contains the changes, so nothing is counted twice. Every file stays available.
      • As a beta it is new and still being built. It’s best to check the first month with your tax adviser.

      An overview of integrations, plus Personio as a beta

      Under Settings › Integrations you see what Tiveo exchanges with other systems and files, and in which direction. The connection to Personio is new, available as a beta in the paid plans.

      • Employees, departments and approved absences come over from Personio; absences and clocked working time can be sent back if you like.
      • You see a preview first, and nothing changes in Tiveo until you press “Start”.
      • You decide which absence type goes in which direction. By default, sick leave only comes from Personio.
      • As a beta it is new and still being built, so your feedback shapes it directly.

      Signing out turns push off, deleting is more thorough

      When you sign out, that device no longer receives push notifications. “Delete data” now also removes sign-ups for open shifts, shift patterns and terminals. Uploaded files of deleted companies, people and accounts are removed by a daily run.

    • Changed 10:45

      Data processing agreement and privacy updated

      The data processing agreement (version 2026-10-15), the technical and organisational measures, the deletion policy and the privacy policy now also cover time recording, shift planning, qualifications, the notice board and push.

      Next to “People” there is now a “Departments” view: all areas one below the other, with each day’s shifts as cards showing time, staffing and names. The star remembers your view.

      • Planners drag a person onto a shift, or click the person and then the “+” on the shift.
      • On the left you see everyone with their planned hours against the target from their working-time model.
      • The weeks at the top show drafts, gaps and what is already published.

      Employees: no setup access, full labels on the cards

      While a setup access was open, Tiveo’s access showed up under “Employees” as a person with the role Administrator. It isn’t one of your people, so it no longer appears there, or in role management and the setup guide.

      My leave: your profile and who approves your requests

      “My leave” now shows your profile on the right: photo, department, staff number and details, your leave balance item by item and your other absences this year. Below it you see who approves which kind of request.

      • The ring shows your remaining leave: solid is approved, hatched is requested.
      • Where time tracking applies, your time account is shown too.
      • “Who approves” lists the people for each absence type, step by step and from which length, also in the request dialog.
      • The yearly overview now shows everyone their leave entitlement and special leave. Some people saw 0 there before.

      Absence breakdown: your year in a single bar

      Under “My leave” a bar shows how your working days since 1 January split into public holidays, leave, sick leave and the other types, with the days per type listed below. It follows your work pattern and includes half days.

      • The year sheet under “Year overview” shows the same bar for the selected year.

      Employees as a grid: one card per person

      Under “Employees” you switch between table and grid. Each card shows department, role and status, the absence breakdown since 1 January and four figures: leave left, leave taken, sick days and, if you use time tracking, the hours balance.

      • Search, filters, sorting and selection work in both views.

      A unit that holds nothing but an admin-only account can now be deleted. The account moves up one level. This also lets you remove the top unit created at sign-up once all teams sit below it.

      • To remove the top unit, set “Belongs to” to the top level for every team, then delete the empty unit.

      • You see who is on duty right now, until when, and who comes next. A week of on-call duty shows as one block rather than seven separate days.
      • With “Can be taken over across sections”, everyone the shift type applies to can hand over, swap and take over duties, even outside their own section.

      Splitting hours across projects can now be switched on under Settings › Time recording. Employees then split a day’s work across projects or free text under “My time”. HR maintains the projects and sees who booked how much on each one, and when.

      • A project has a title and, if you like, a number, a link to your own system and a contact. Inactive projects can no longer be chosen.
      • Under Company › Projects: hours per project, week and person, every booking, all as CSV too.
      • Assign free text to a project later on; the text stays as a note.

      Anyone who works in two departments, such as therapy and course instruction, now appears in both in the team calendar, with the same days and a single leave balance. HR sets this under Employees, on the person, under “Additional departments”.

      • In the additional department, the row shows the person’s own department.

      Under Settings › Absences you decide whether employees see everyone in the team calendar, only their team or only themselves. You can make exceptions per team and per person. Until you change something, everything stays as it is.

      • HR and administrators always see everyone, leads and planners their teams.

      • Under “My shifts” › “Hand over / swap”, choose the period: to everyone, to one person or 1:1 for the same number of days of the same type.
      • On-call duty can now be swapped for on-call duty, and someone who already has another shift that day can take over an on-call duty.

      • The data processing agreement comes before the first personal data, accounts for your team at the end.
      • “Who approves?” says where requests go and warns when requests would be approved without anyone deciding.
      • Sample data no longer counts as done.
      • Settings › Access and roles now says it correctly: leads without an account do not decide; their team’s requests then go to the owner, admins and HR.

      If you plan shifts, click a day in the team calendar or the year overview to edit, cancel or add shifts right there, without switching to shift planning. Drag across several days to add a shift for the whole period.

      • Clicking a day shows its absence and shifts together, plus “Add absence” and “Add shift”.
      • Dragging across several days adds one shift per day. Days off are skipped, except for on-call duties. Anything skipped is listed afterwards with the reason.
      • If the day falls within a plan that has already been published, including an imported one, a new shift can take effect straight away. Otherwise it stays a draft until the plan is published.

      • Tiveo suggests the matching person for each request. “Match all” handles many at once.
      • Matching doesn’t use up a new place in your plan. A new person is only added if you explicitly choose that.
      • If someone is listed twice, once with and once without an account, you can link the two entries.

      • The shared mailbox receives new requests, reminders and escalations of its step, without a decision button. Decisions are made after signing in, under Approvals.
      • Whether any email goes out is still set under Settings › Emails. If emails for new requests are off there, the rule tells you right away.

      The year overview now opens like a wall calendar: twelve months with calendar weeks, days off in a grey circle, absences as a coloured bar with their code. The previous view is now called “Table”, and the “List” is still there.

      • In the calendar you add entries by clicking or dragging, as in the table; printing puts the whole year on one landscape page.
      • Under My leave, “My calendar” now shows three months across the full width, up from two.

      • In the plan, a type that only applies to individual people is only offered in their row.
      • Moving from Excel now creates the same on-call duty of two teams only once and lets it apply to the people of the second team as well.

      • Each person is created once, even if they appear in several years. Name, team and state are taken from the most recent year.
      • Start and end dates follow from the sheets: whoever appears later has started, whoever is missing the next year has left. What seems certain is ticked; dates already in Tiveo stay.
      • A following year's carry-over is checked against the previous year's remainder: if it matches, Tiveo calculates it from then on, otherwise the workbook's figure applies.
      • Requests for days that have already passed can be imported as approved, so they don’t end up with managers as open requests.

      • The request dialog shows entitlement, approved, requested, this request and what is left afterwards per year. If that is not enough, it says what is missing and the button is off.
      • The team calendar shows the leave left for the year next to each name, with a small bar for approved and requested days; all figures in the tooltip.
      • Approvals: you cannot approve a request that overdraws a year. You can shorten it (“Change”) or decline it.
      • Company holidays are only booked for employees whose leave covers them. Anyone skipped is named in the message.
      • Carried-over leave that expires on a cut-off date after the expiry notice no longer covers days after it.
      • “Taken” is now called “Approved”, because it has always counted all approved days, including upcoming ones.
    • Fixed 19:17

      Printing the year overview: signature line clear again

      When four panels appeared below the year, for example with shifts and working time, the signature line ran through the “Days by absence type” panel on the printout. The signatures now have their own space on the left, and the sheet still fits on one page.

    • New 19:03

      Year overview as a list

      Above the sheet on the right you can now switch between “Calendar” and “List”. The list shows every absence as a period with its type, days and status, grouped by month. The figures below stay the same.

      • Click a period to open the entry, just like in the calendar.
      • In the list, Print and Export (CSV) output the periods.
    • New 16:35

      Reports: shifts and recorded time for payroll

      Under Reports › Shifts & time you see, per person and month, which duties and on-call shifts they had and how many of those days were weekdays, Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays. With time recording you also see when and how much time was recorded and how much of it fell within a shift or on-call duty.

      • On-call duty shows as continuous periods, such as “01.10.–07.10.”, with the weekday of each public holiday.
      • Each day counts once: a public holiday on a Sunday counts as a public holiday.
      • People who left during the month are included with their days.
      • Two CSV files for payroll: by person and by day.
      • The tab appears as soon as shift planning or time recording is in use in your company.

      Settings: clearer order, nothing twice

      Settings now answer one question per card, in the order you ask them. Where there were two ways to do the same thing, one remains.

      • Absences: entitlement next to the leave year, expiry next to remaining leave at year end, then half days and “Requests and accrual”.
      • Settings › Absences and Rules point to each other, so nobody searches in the wrong place.
      • The minimum group size for reports is now under Data protection.
      • Access and roles: you assign HR like any other role in “Who may do what”; the second card for it is gone.
      • Time tracking: “For whom” says “Applies to all employees”, and exceptions can be added with a click, as “record” or “do not record”.
      • “Default” is now called “Standard”, meaning the value Tiveo starts with.

      My leave and year overview: click days or drag across them

      Just like in the team calendar, you can now enter absences straight from the calendar under “My leave” and on the year overview: click a day, or hold the mouse button and drag across several days, and the dialog opens with the whole period.

      • Under “My leave” this becomes a request, just like the “Request leave” button.
      • On the year overview you request leave on your own sheet; where you may enter absences for others, you enter them on their sheet.
      • Clicking a day with an entry offers “Remove this day only” and withdrawing the whole entry.
      • With the keyboard: Tab into the calendar, arrow keys from day to day, Enter.
    • Fixed 16:17

      Switching from Excel: carry-over and entitlement from newer Premium files

      Some Premium files have hidden columns between “requested” and “approved”. There the import read last year’s remaining leave, the entitlement and special leave from the wrong column and reported a missing entitlement for everyone. It now finds the columns by their headings.

      • A category renamed to a leave block in the file counts as a block. If the leave block itself was renamed, for example to “on-call”, it no longer counts as one.
      • A row that holds only leave blocks no longer becomes a person. If an earlier import created it as a person, the dry run says so.
      • “Leave (fixed)” and “Leave (requested)” are suggested as approved and requested leave.

      For HR

    • New 16:17

      Switching from Excel: on-call duty and leave blocks come along

      The import from the Excel leave planner now also takes on-call duty and leave blocks. On-call days go into shift planning as on-call duty, blocks into the company calendar. Both can be undone with the import for 24 hours.

      • Codes such as “PC on-call” are suggested as on-call duty; any other code can be made one under “Assign codes”.
      • If a team has no shift area or shift type yet, the import creates them. If the shift type already exists, its times apply, such as a handover at 8 am.
      • Days before today are left out, as are days that already have another shift.
      • Leave blocks are created per team, as a warning on requests and for leave types only. You can make any of them strict under Rules.
      • The “On-call and leave blocks” tab shows what will be created before you import.
      • Importing the same file again creates no duplicates.

      Under Settings › Shift planning the list of shift areas is now also the selection. Click an area to see its setup below in four steps: shift types, demand, process and planners.

      • Each area shows how many people work in it.
      • The industry template sits above the steps and is open while an area has no shift type yet.
      • Shift types only list the ones that apply in the chosen area.
      • Planners now include the lead from the company structure.

      Shift types lasting 24 hours, e.g. for on-call duty

      A shift type can now last 24 hours: tick “24 hours” and enter only the start. It ends the next day at the same time. The plan, the roster and “My shifts” show it as “from 08:00 · 24 h”.

      • Each email shows when it comes and to whom.
      • You see how many emails went out in the last 30 days and how many did not because they were off.
      • For reminders and expiry notices you see beforehand how many the next run would send.

      In the team calendar, hold the mouse button and drag across several days; the dialog opens with the whole period. In your own row this becomes a request, in rows you may enter for, an entry.

      • A click in your own row requests leave, just like under “My leave”.
      • New under Settings › Absences: “Leads enter absences”. Leads can then enter and withdraw absences for their team, never for themselves.
      • On a day with an entry there is “Remove this day only”; the confirmation names the whole period.
      • Withdrawing an entry for someone else sends that person an email.

      Ill during leave: credit the days back with a doctor’s note

      Entering sickness over existing leave now asks “Credit the leave for these days (doctor’s note on file)”. When ticked, the leave is interrupted on those days, the days go back to the leave balance and the person gets an email.

      • HR can do this and, when switched on, the person’s lead.
      • People reporting sick themselves are told how it works with a doctor’s note.
      • Only HR can now withdraw a company holiday; “My leave” marks it.
      • Overlaps now say what is in the way before you send.
    • New 20:32

      Approvals: see the leave balance, approve part of a request

      Every approval now shows the person’s leave balance: entitlement, taken, planned, this request and what is left afterwards. With “Change” you approve only part of the period, starting later, ending earlier or with a half day at the edge.

      • The same figures appear in the team calendar and on the page the email link opens.
      • With the accrual model, it also shows what has accrued by the start and what is still free afterwards.
      • The person sees what they had requested, in the email and under “My leave”.

      Confirming a domain: the right message when the DNS record is missing

      Accrual model: leave per day employed, as with the construction holiday funds

      The accrual model under Settings › Absences now has an accrual rule: “per full month” as before, or “per day employed”. With 30 days of annual leave, one day accrues per 12 calendar days, rounded down during the year and up from 0.5 at year end.

      • The request shows what is still free on its first day, without taking cover away from leave planned later.
      • When the accrual model is on, it applies to the whole current leave year, including entries added afterwards.
      • With “per day employed”, the entitlement in the year of joining or leaving also follows the days employed.
      • Sick days count as days employed and cost nothing.

      Team calendar: sub-units now sit under their department

      A location or team could appear before the department it belongs to, such as “Montage München” before “Werkstatt”. The team calendar now follows the company structure: each unit comes before its sub-units, all in the order set there.

      • The same order applies to the “Department” selection and to printouts.
      • Your own order under “Order” stays as it is and still comes first.

      Tiveo refined: every page now has the same layout

      Every page now has its title and a one-sentence introduction at the top left, the main buttons at the top right and period and filters in an even bar below. Only what needs your attention is highlighted. The entries below describe what changed on each page.

      • You choose year, month or week the same way everywhere, and “‹ Today ›” is one connected control.
      • Key figures appear as tiles with a name, a number and a sentence, in the style of “My time”.
      • Absence types carry their short code in their colour, and periods include the weekday.
      • Good news shows as a green tick, open items as a number or colour.
      • Tables are narrower and buttons in lists less prominent. Tiveo also makes better use of wide screens.
      • Everything works in light and dark mode and on your phone.
    • Changed 10:22

      Employees: role changes now ask for confirmation

      Changing a role in the list under “Employees” now asks you to confirm, just as under “Settings › Access and roles”. A slip in the drop-down no longer makes anyone an administrator by accident.

      • The question names the person and the new role.
      • If you cancel, the field returns to the previous role and nothing is saved.

      The tabs from “Company” to “Move from Excel” stay at the top when you scroll down a long tab such as “Time recording” or “Access and roles”, so you can switch tabs without scrolling back up first.

      • A fine shadow separates the bar from the content scrolling underneath.

      • The details sit in the same place in every row and wrap as a group.
      • The name field is as wide as the name.
      • “Add a head …” now sits unobtrusively next to the heads, without a frame.

      Name and priority sit on the left, “active”, Edit and Delete on the right, with the sentence saying what the rule does below. As that sentence matters most, it is now in the normal text colour rather than grey. A green tick shows that everyone has someone to approve their leave.

      • The priority appears as a small label next to the name.
      • When you point at a rule, it gets a coloured border, so you see which row you are working on.
      • Like every other page, it now has a header with title and introduction.

      • You choose the year at the top right next to the title.
      • All tiles stay in one row, even when there are five or six.
      • “How much has been taken?” now shows as two rows of two tiles, where it used to be three and one.

      Employees: a slim list, edit with one click on the name

      Edit, record an absence and invite are now small icons at the end of the row, with the word in the tooltip. Clicking a name opens the editor. The list is much narrower as a result; where it still scrolls sideways on smaller screens, the icons stay at the right edge and the row fades out just before them.

      • The role is a quiet drop-down that only shows a frame when you point at it.
      • The carry-over column is called “Carry-over expiry” and says clearly what applies: “as the company” or, for example, “after 6 months”.
      • Long email addresses are shortened; the tooltip shows the full address.
      • “Without an account only” and “Show people who left” sit directly above the list they filter.
      • Short details such as the staff number stay on one line. Department, region and carry-over expiry take a second line when space runs short, so the whole list fits most laptops.
      • Fixed: regions such as “Nordrhein-Westfalen” appeared with a stretched hyphen.

      • You choose the month right next to the heading “Totals per person”, as on “My time”.
      • The “Credit” and “Break deduction” columns only appear in months that have any.
      • The table becomes narrower as a result and stays easy to read on a laptop.
      • The column is called “Department”, as everywhere in Tiveo, and so is the search.

      Approvals now show who else is away on the same days

      Each request under “Approvals” now comes with a small grid of its days: the person asking at the top, below everyone from their team who is away on those days anyway, in the team calendar's colours and hatching. You decide without switching pages.

      • If nobody else from the team is away, you see a green tick.
      • People from other departments who are away on those days are shown as a number below the grid.
      • The type shows with its short code in its colour, the period with weekdays, the duration right next to it.
      • The top right shows when the request was made; after three days or more it shows in red how long it has been waiting.
      • The number of pending requests sits next to the title, together with a sentence on what the page is for.
      • Once everything is decided, the page shows a tick. It used to stay blank.

      • The period shown appears as text right next to the control, such as “28.09.–04.10.2026”.
      • In shift planning, “Set up” is at the top right and the plan starts right below.

      Order, Print and Export are now at the top right, with year, department and the switches in one row below. The legend for absences and shifts sits in its own box above the calendar and explains every colour.

      • If requests are waiting for your decision, a bar shows how many and takes you straight to the list with “Go to approvals”.
      • Shifts appear in the legend set apart from the absences.
      • Fixed: when only a few days of a month were in view, its name ran into the next one.

      Year overview: the figures in panels below the year sheet

      The year overview has been reorganised: Print and Export at the top right, below them in one row view, person, year and school holidays. The year appears as a sheet with the name at the top, and below the twelve months follow leave balance, working time and days per type as panels of equal height side by side.

      • The leave balance is the first panel, with carry-over, entitlement, days taken and remaining leave.
      • The panels line up at the top instead of stepping down along the right edge.
      • Labels sit next to their fields, and the whole bar has one height.
      • The team view also sits on its own card.
      • The printout for the personnel file stays as it was: twelve months on one sheet, with signatures.
    • Improved 09:40

      My time: future days are toned down in the table

      In the monthly table, the days still to come are shown lighter and more compact. Today and the past days, everything you check, add or correct, stand out at once, and the table becomes noticeably shorter.

      • Target and dash for the coming days are still there, just lighter.
      • The same applies when managers open a person's times under “Team time”.
      • The page has the header with title and introduction that every page now shares.

      My leave: balance at the top, upcoming entries first

      At the top you see your leave balance for the current year: the remaining days in large figures, next to them entitlement, taken and requested days with their bar. “Request leave” is at the top right. Your entries start with what comes next; past entries are collapsed and back with one click.

      • Each entry shows the short code of its type in that type's colour, just like the calendar above.
      • Periods include the weekday, as in Monday 12 to Tuesday 13 October 2026, so you can tell at once whether leave ends on a Friday.
      • An entry that is running right now sits at the top with the upcoming ones, not with the past.
      • Withdrawn and declined entries step back, with their period crossed out.
      • “Away in the next 14 days” shows the type of absence as a small colour square.
      • You browse the calendar with one connected “‹ Today ›” control.
    • Improved 09:37

      Calmer buttons, one colour for every request status

      Buttons such as “Delete”, “Withdraw” and “Decline” no longer have a red frame, only red text. They turn red when you point at them, so a list of ten entries no longer looks like a warning.

      • A request's status has the same colour everywhere: requested yellow, approved green, declined red.
      • “Cancellation requested” and “partly approved” appear yellow like “requested”, as both are still waiting for a decision.
      • The warning colour is kept for what really needs your attention.

      • Departments appear in the order you choose. Administrators can set a default for everyone.
      • Leads and deputies are shown in bold at the top of their team.
      • Joining and leaving during the year are marked as “not employed”.
      • Long team names no longer wrap, and tooltips appear instantly.
      • The year you last viewed stays selected, and printouts follow the same order.

      Delete employees created by mistake

      People created by mistake or imported twice can now be deleted permanently, one at a time when editing or several at once via the bulk action. Beforehand Tiveo tells you for each person whether anything stands in the way, such as recorded time.

      Excel import without emails to managers

      When moving from Excel, a checkbox decides whether managers get an email for every imported request. Without the tick, notifications and reminders for these requests are switched off.

      Company selector shows each company once

      The selector at the top sometimes listed a company several times, and picking the wrong entry showed another person’s menu and role. Now each company appears exactly once, with your own role. Permissions themselves are checked by the database on every access.

      Set-up access: Tiveo helps you set up

      Tiveo can help set up your company as an administrator for a limited time, for example when you switch over. Under Settings › Data protection you see whether such access is running and can end it at any time. Every step is recorded in the access log.

      When inviting someone, you can add a few lines. They appear in the email under your name. Links are not allowed in the message, for security reasons.

      Clearer calendar in “My leave”

      Today is marked with a circle, and absences run as a continuous bar: approved ones filled, requested ones hatched as in the team calendar. A legend explains what the colours mean.

      “View as”: see Tiveo the way someone else does

      In the account menu, choose a person under “View as …” and see the menu, pages and data exactly as they do, read-only. Managers choose from their team, HR and administrators from the company up to their own role.

      Shift plans name their sub-units

      If a shift area includes further departments, the heading now names them as well. If Assembly Munich belongs to the Workshop, for example, the heading reads “incl. Assembly Munich” after the name. Shift planning, the roster and the printout now make clear which plan you are looking at.

      Two shifts on one day are easy to spot

      If there are two shifts on one day, the year overview and “My leave” now show a “+”, just like the team calendar. New shift types also get their own, still unused colour straight away.

      Clearer menus and less text

      The menu is now organised into “Personal”, “Team” and “Company”. Many pages are shorter and use the full screen width; legal notes and rarely used forms are collapsed.

      • The year grid is now called “Team calendar”. “Open approvals” is now “Approvals” and shows the number of open requests.
      • Settings have one tab per area: Company, Absences, Access and roles, Data protection, Move from Excel.
      • Old addresses and bookmarks still lead to the right page.

      New module: time recording

      Employees record their working time in the browser, on their phone or at a terminal by the entrance. Tiveo turns this into the hours balance and the payroll export.

      • Clock in, clock out and take breaks with a single tap. Entries can be added or corrected within a deadline, and manual changes stay marked.
      • The hours balance updates live. Target hours come from the working pattern, and leave and sickness are credited.
      • Tiveo flags breaks, maximum working hours and rest periods, including for young workers and during maternity protection. Colleagues aren’t told who that applies to.
      • Managers and HR see the team’s times. If you prefer, you can use trust-based working time, which records no clock times.
      • Anyone without their own device clocks in at a terminal with a PIN or an ID card with a QR code.
      • Monthly payroll export with night, Sunday and public holiday hours under § 3b EStG.

      New module: shift planning

      With the new module you plan shifts, check the plan and then publish it. Employees see their shifts on their phone, enter preferences and swap with each other.

      • You set up shift types and demand per weekday and choose a planning style. There are templates for your industry.
      • The plan grid works with the keyboard. Before publishing, Tiveo checks rest periods, maximum working hours and staffing.
      • “My shifts” shows the next shift, preferences and open shifts. Shifts can be taken over, swapped and handed on.
      • Everyone in the shift area can see the roster by week or by month and print it.
      • Published shifts appear with their times in the calendar subscription.
      • Leave requests show which shifts would be dropped and what staffing would look like afterwards.

      A guide walks you through the setup

      After you create a company, a guide takes you through the setup step by step: industry, modules, location, leave entitlement, departments, employees, approvals, rules and logo. It recognises what is already done and points straight to the right place.

      Leave figures for the whole team in one list

      Delete data without deleting the company

      Accrual model: leave month by month

      If you wish, leave only becomes available once it has accrued month by month. You set it for the company, a department or a person: off, as a notice or as a block. Those affected see their status in “My leave” and in the request.

      Remaining leave carries over automatically

      Carry-over is now calculated continuously; there is no year-end button any more. If leave is added to the old year later, the carry-over still adds up. “My leave” and the year overview show what was carried over or paid out.
