Swedish collective agreement change

We’re aware of recent changes in the Swedish collective agreement that may impact scheduling and compliance for some of our customers. Our teams are actively investigating how we can address these updates within Quinyx. Once we have a confirmed plan of action, we’ll share more details. Our intention is to have a solution in place by 1 April 2026. However, as we explore the technical feasibility of a solution, the timeline is subject to change - but we’ll do everything we can to deliver before the agreement change date.

New scheduling rules: Simplify compliance and protect your team

Navigating the complexities of labor laws and collective agreements can be challenging. To help you automate this process and ensure your workforce is scheduled fairly and legally, we have expanded the rule sets available in Schedule Compliance, Auto Assign, and Compliance Checker.

These new rules enable you to configure precise constraints—reducing the risk of non-compliance and ensuring your schedules align with both legal standards and employee contracts.

Overview of new rules

For in-depth configurations and specific parameter settings, please refer to our Schedule compliance rules article.

Below is a summary of the new configurations available.

Working time

  • Max working days per period: Limits the number of days an employee can be scheduled within a specific rolling period (e.g., max 5 days in any 7-day window).
  • Max working weekends per period: Caps the number of weekends an employee can be assigned shifts within a defined timeframe.
  • Max shift length: Prevents shifts from exceeding the maximum duration defined in an employee’s agreement.
  • Nominal hours should be reached: Ensures the total scheduled time meets the employee's contracted nominal hours.
    • Available in Compliance Checker and Auto Assign only.
  • Min hours per period: Guarantees that employees are not scheduled for fewer than their minimum required hours over a set rolling period of weeks.
    • Available in Compliance Checker and Auto Assign only.

Rest

  • Min consecutive days of rest: Mandates a minimum block of consecutive rest days that must be provided to the employee.

Availability

  • Earliest shift start: Restricts shift assignments to ensure they do not start earlier than the specific time provided.
  • Latest shift end: Restricts shift assignments to ensure they do not end later than the specific time provided.
Item trail for absences and absence requests

We're releasing the Item Trail for absences and absence requests in the Audit Logs.

The Item Trail provides a chronological overview of every change that has happened to an absence item, helping you understand the full context behind it - essential when investigating disputes or resolving issues related to workforce planning.

Where to find it

  • Audit logs: When searching in the Audit logs, the right-most column of your results now contains a link to the item trail for each absence or absence request. Selecting it will display the full history of actions and updates.
  • Schedule View for absences: You can also access it by opening any absence in the schedule. In the Edit absence panel, select Show absence history to view the complete item trail.

This enhancement gives you clearer visibility into how absences have evolved over time, making it easier to resolve any issues quickly and confidently.

Updates and performance improvements

None at this time.

Bug fixes

  • Resolved an issue where the section of a shift in the base schedule would disappear if you assigned it to an employee.
  • Resolved an issue in Base schedule that caused individual warnings to not be selectable when rolling out.
  • Resolved an issue that caused an internal server error when rolling out a base schedule.

SOAP API / Web service updates

Tag Categories API update: Deprecation postponement

We are providing an update regarding the deprecation timeline for the unpaginated Tag Categories API endpoint.

The change

The planned deprecation date for the old API endpoint, GET /categories/{categoryExternalId}/tags has been postponed.

Detail

Original

Updated

Old Deprecation Date

December 10, 2025 (Release 0226)

 

New Deprecation Date

 

February 4, 2026 (Release 0229)

 

Why the Change?

This extension to the dual-run period is being implemented to provide our customers with additional time to successfully migrate their integrations to the new, performant, and paginated API (GET /v2/categories/{categoryExternalId}/tags).

We remain committed to supporting a smooth transition to the new endpoint, which resolves critical performance issues (such as 504 Gateway Timeouts and OutOfMemoryError) experienced by customers using the old endpoint with large datasets.

Action required (for users still on the old API)

Customers using the old API are strongly encouraged to complete their migration to the paginated API as soon as possible.

  • Old Endpoint (No Pagination, to be deprecated): GET /categories/{categoryExternalId}/tags
  • New Endpoint (With Pagination, required for future stability): GET /v2/categories/{categoryExternalId}/tags

The deprecation warning will be updated in our official Swagger documentation to reflect the new February 4, 2026, date.

We encourage all of our customers to make use of our APIs to maintain data and to make sure that information is up-to-date. To ensure the scalability of our APIs while growing our customer and user base, we've decided to add restrictions on the usage of our SOAP APIs. These restrictions will be enforced programmatically, which means we will enforce a limit on concurrent calls per customer to 10. You should expect response code 429 if you happen to exceed this limit, and you are recommended to implement a backoff retry mechanism to handle the limit. Note that the limit applies to SOAP only. When moving from SOAP to REST over the coming years, any limits will be built into the API. 

Please make sure to forward this information to the party within your company responsible for integrations.
