Q2 2025 Quinyx and Employee Hub quarterly release highlights

Updated by Leigh Hutchens

As we look back on Q2 2025, both the Quinyx web app and Employee Hub have seen meaningful enhancements that reflect our continued focus on usability, flexibility, and operational efficiency. These updates are part of our broader commitment to supporting workforce leaders and frontline teams with tools that are not only powerful, but intuitive and adaptable to real-world needs. Whether you're managing complex schedules, coordinating multi-site teams, or streamlining communications, this quarter’s improvements are designed to help you work smarter, move faster, and stay connected.

Summary of major Q2 new features and performance improvements

Version 0208 (April 2, 2025)

Quinyx web app

  • We introduced the Schedule Compliance Rules page as part of the open beta for Schedule Validation 2.0. This gave administrators full control over how compliance rules are applied, including setting custom severity levels and assigning them to agreement templates.
    This gave organizations more flexibility and confidence in staying compliant while scheduling.
  • We made it easier to configure Optimal headcount settings by adding unit names to local shift types and updating the interface with new QUI components.
    This reduced setup confusion and helped users select the right shift types more easily.
  • We added preconditions for Time Tracker Accruals, allowing organizations to delay when accruals begin based on time since hire, birth date, or other key milestones.
    This brought more flexibility to time-based entitlements and improved alignment with local policies.
  • We introduced transparent error reporting for Auto Schedule and Auto Assign. Now, users can view error messages directly in the interface when something goes wrong.
    This helped users troubleshoot issues faster and improve scheduling accuracy.
  • We refined the behavior of the Free days field in Schedule Validation 2.0. A value of 0 now correctly means that no free days are required.
    This clarified how compliance rules behave and reduced scheduling surprises.
  • We redesigned display options in the Schedule and Base schedule views, replacing radio buttons with dropdowns and adding a new sorting option by last name.
    This improved the interface and made it easier to navigate employee lists.
  • We fixed several issues, including:
    • Forecast variables displaying incorrectly on dashboards
    • Labor graphs not updating in real time when changing the schedule
    These bug fixes contributed to a smoother and more reliable scheduling experience.

Employee Hub

We continued our Employee Hub redesign (formerly Frontline Portal), rolling out phase 4. This included visual and functional updates to resource views, event cards, and the daysheet view.

These updates made the interface more modern, consistent, and easier to use.

  • We added the ability for users to set their own default sort order in global search and across all content hubs (Tasks, Stories, Files, Forms).
    This gave users more control over how information is displayed and helped save time.
  • We officially renamed Frontline Portal to Employee Hub, aligning the name with how customers use the platform—as a central place for workforce communication and content.
    This name change reflects our continued focus on improving clarity and usability across the platform.
  • We shared important guidance around Daylight Saving Time adjustments, helping users maintain accurate scheduling across time zones.
    This ensured tasks and stories were sent at the correct times, even across regional DST shifts.
  • No new functionality or bug fixes were introduced in this release, but the improvements laid the groundwork for future enhancements.
    This focus on interface consistency and usability helps create a more engaging and productive experience for frontline teams.

Version 0209 (April 16, 2025)

Quinyx web app

We introduced custom values for compliance rules in Schedule Validation 2.0. Users with account settings access can now override agreement-level values with custom thresholds or hard stops within the rule itself.

This gave administrators more flexibility and control in enforcing scheduling limits, reducing manual workarounds.

We improved the employee list for bulk shift assignments in the Schedule view. The same relevance-based logic used for individual shift assignment now applies to multiple shifts.

This made bulk assignments quicker and more consistent, helping planners assign the right people faster.

We refined the Forecast table experience for users with read-only access. Edit options are now clearly disabled to avoid confusion.

This helped prevent frustration by aligning the interface with the user’s access level.

We updated the logic for shift offer notifications to managers to better reflect unit hierarchy and scheduling permissions.

This ensured that the right managers are notified of approved or denied offers, improving clarity and accountability.

In schedule statistics, we moved the total optimal headcount values to the top of the legend for easier viewing.

This small change made it easier for users to interpret headcount data at a glance.

We resolved several issues, including:

  • Time cards not linking new shifts correctly
  • Assigned shift bookings being visible to other applicants
  • Notifications showing incorrect employee names
  • Forecast data not loading consistently
    These fixes helped improve scheduling reliability and data accuracy.

Employee Hub

We introduced the ability to set your preferred first day of the week in calendar views. This preference is no longer tied to your language setting and will persist across all calendar views.

This update gave users more control over how their calendar is displayed, improving personalization.

We introduced a new content download permission, which will become active in version 0210. While it has no effect yet, it will let administrators control whether users can download content from the Employee Hub.

This prepares organizations for tighter content access control in future releases.

We resolved bugs that:

  • Caused widgets from deactivated modules to still appear on the Home page
  • Led to users losing access to files and folders unexpectedly
    These fixes improved stability and access consistency across the hub.

Version 0210 May 6, 2025

Quinyx web app

We introduced an enhanced multifactor authentication setup flow for mobile users. Those in tenants using MFA can now enter their mobile number during the authentication process—even if it's not already stored in their employee card.

This improvement made mobile onboarding more flexible and secure.

Starting May 5th, the Schedule Validation 2.0 beta is now enabled by default for all new rollouts. Users can still turn it off in account settings if needed.

This step helped accelerate adoption of smarter compliance validation across organizations.

We improved the inheritance logic for punch properties in task shifts. Now, when task-level shift details (such as agreement, cost center, or project) are updated, those changes are correctly passed to the connected punches.

This ensured more accurate time tracking and reduced manual corrections.

We resolved a bug that made the time selector unclickable in Safari when creating shifts.

This fix improved browser compatibility and reduced scheduling friction.

Employee Hub

We launched a new "Download content" permission that allows administrators to control whether users can download attachments from Stories, Tasks, Forms, or Files in the Employee Hub. The permission is turned on by default to maintain current behavior.

This gave organizations more control over sensitive content while maintaining flexibility in access settings.

We resolved an issue that caused some users to lose access to all folders and files in the Employee Hub.

This fix improved file access stability and prevented unnecessary disruptions for frontline users.

We also released several new reports in HelpDocs:

  • Store activity report
  • Task compliance report
  • Story engagement report
  • User activity report
    These resources help users track performance and engagement across Employee Hub features.

Version 0211 (May 14, 2025)

Quinyx web app

We launched the new Business view—a smarter way for managers to assess and plan team schedules. This view groups shifts by type, includes collapsible categories, and introduces a new KPI for assigned shifts. It’s accessible across daily, weekly, monthly, and custom views.
This upgrade gave managers deeper visibility and made it easier to align scheduling with operational needs.

We added the ability to add, edit, and delete punches directly from the staff portal. This mirrors the functionality already available in the mobile app and respects the same user permissions.

This gave staff greater flexibility and control over their time records, reducing admin overhead.

We released significant enhancements to the Dutch Vacation Configuration, allowing users to define how different absence and salary types affect statutory and non-statutory holiday balances. This includes support for proportional deductions and fully custom rules.
This improvement supported Dutch legal requirements and helped organizations automate more complex leave policies.

We resolved an issue where the schedule printout would crash when using the monthly view.

This fix improved stability for users needing printable versions of their schedules.

Employee Hub

While no new features were added in this release, we introduced several minor design improvements across the Employee Hub. These included:

  • Updated look for question elements
  • New empty state illustrations
  • Refreshed sidebars for due and send-out dates
  • Modernized pop-up styling (e.g., “make this task private”)
    These updates contributed to a more consistent and polished user experience.

No major bug fixes were included in this release, but the visual changes help lay the foundation for future interface improvements.

Version 0212 (June 2, 2025)

Quinyx web app

We launched the first version of daily resolution input data for forecasting. In addition to 5, 15, 30, and 60-minute intervals, users can now import, configure, and analyze data at a daily level.

This gave organizations more flexibility in how they forecast and plan for daily staffing needs.

We introduced shift filters and age filters in Schedule Compliance rules. Shift filters let you apply rules to specific shift types, while age filters help ensure certain rules only apply to employees above or below a defined age.

This allowed for more precise and legally compliant scheduling tailored to different work types and age groups.

We improved the Custom view selection in Schedule view. You can now adjust the date range in a single click instead of two.

This small change made it faster and easier to update schedule views on the fly.

We fixed several issues, including:

  • Local managers not being able to view Optimization settings
  • Faulty results from old optimal headcount calculations
  • Errors when renaming home units or setting agreement end dates
  • A SOAP call returning incorrect agreement values
    These fixes enhanced system reliability and reduced disruptions for admins and planners.

Employee Hub

We continued our design improvements in the Employee Hub with several small updates, including:

  • Background color adjustments to widget previews
  • Updated "add widget" and sidebar buttons
  • A refreshed look for the "List item" widget and loading indicators
    These refinements helped create a more polished and modern visual experience for users.

We resolved an issue that caused duplicated folders to appear when creating new folders.

This fix improved file management and helped keep folder structures clean and organized.

We also shared a preview of an upcoming Home page redesign, which will better utilize screen space for pinned content and carousels.

Version 0213

Quinyx web app (June 11, 2025)

In Schedule Validations 2.0, warnings for period-based rules (like max hours per week) now display all contributing shifts, not just the one that exceeded the limit. This provides a clearer picture of violations during base schedule rollout.

This gave planners better context and control over compliance issues in multi-day schedules.

We expanded the Late Schedule Change rule to include shift deletions, in addition to edits and new shifts. If a manager tries to delete a shift within the restricted window, it now triggers validation.

This protected employees from last-minute changes and helped organizations meet labor law requirements.

In Schedule Statistics, we enhanced the display of daily resolution input data. When viewing one day, daily data now appears as a single merged value, making it easier to read and interpret.

This improved the clarity of daily forecasts and helped reduce errors during review.

We introduced a new section grouping option in Business view. Users can now group schedules by section instead of shift type, with collapsible headers, assigned shift KPIs, and full drag-and-drop support.

This provided a more flexible way to align staffing with the structure of your business.

We improved how nominal hours are distributed across the week. Instead of always starting from Monday, the count now aligns with the start of the workweek defined in the agreement settings.

This ensured more accurate compliance with region-specific or company-specific scheduling rules.

We resolved a bug that previously prevented users from setting an end date for agreements, which was causing errors.

This fix restored stability for users managing agreement timelines.

Employee Hub

We redesigned the Employee Hub home page layout to use the full screen width. Carousel widgets now adjust dynamically based on screen size, with smarter placement of images and descriptions.

This improved readability and made content more accessible across all devices.

We added a “Show more” button in the calendar week view, allowing users to scroll and view multiple overlapping events in a clean, compact way.

This update improved usability for teams with dense event schedules.

We fixed an issue where managers could approve their own absences via the Mobile Manager tab, even if the setting was disabled. That permission is now correctly enforced across both web and mobile.

This ensured that absence approval rules are respected, reducing the risk of policy breaches.
