Deduction Plans
▌New Feature
Release: Jellyfish
Deduction Plans let you recover money owed by a worker in fixed instalments, taken automatically from their pay over a set number of pay periods. Simply enter the total amount, the number of instalments and the start pay period, and Chime does the rest. Plans can be paused, edited, settled with a lump sum or cancelled at any time, and every change is recorded in the plan's history.

Approval Delegation – Time Requests
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
Delegates can now cover time request approvals as well as timesheet approvals. When adding or editing a delegate in the Address Book, tick the new "Approve time requests" option, and the delegate will be able to approve that person's time requests alongside their own, so requests keep moving while someone is away.
Your Approvals – Week View and Completed Timesheets (Mobile)
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
Your Approvals in the mobile app is now organised by week, with a simple week bar to move backwards and forwards. A new Completed filter shows timesheets you have already approved, so you can check what has been signed off and undo an approval where allowed.
Lock a Timesheet from Detailed Approvals
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
You can now lock a person's timesheet without leaving Detailed Approvals. Each site section on the timesheet has a Lock button, and a confirmation box shows whether all hours are approved and whether any payments are still pending before you lock.
Pay Tables – Clone, Adjust and Edit Rates
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
Three new actions make pay tables much quicker to maintain. Clone copies a whole pay table into a new one, Adjust raises or lowers every rate by a percentage or a fixed amount, and Edit changes a single entry without deleting and re-adding it.
Edit the Code on a Time Request Type
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
Time request types now show a Code field when you add or edit them, so the code can be changed directly on screen. This is the code other systems, such as an HR system, use to identify the type when they send time requests into Chime.
Report on the Main Company as Employer
▌Improvement
Release: Jellyfish
A new setting stops business units being counted as a person's Employer in reports. Instead, the Employer is the main company, or the supplier for supplier staff, while people can still be assigned to business units. New Business Unit and Employer filters have also been added to reporting. Contact our Support team if you would like this setting switched on.
Health & Safety
HAVS (Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome)
▌New Feature
Release: Jellyfish
HAVS is a new add-on to the Health & Safety module that replaces paper vibration records. Workers log the time they spend on vibrating tools from the mobile app, either when signing out or from the HAVS tile, and Chime works out their daily exposure against HSE limits. Managers receive a daily summary of anyone over the limit and can review alerts, record follow-ups and view each worker's history from one dashboard.

Site Documents
Restricted Checklists as Site Documents
▌Improvements
Release: Jellyfish
Checklists marked Restricted can now be used as site documents, and workers complete and sign them on site as normal. Only people allowed to view the checklist can see the site document and its completed submissions, and the same restriction now applies everywhere completed checklists appear.
Equipment
Location Filter, Equipment on Site and Tidier Issues
▌Improvements
Release: Jellyfish
A new Location filter makes it quicker to find equipment in your inventory, and sites in Chime Time now show an Equipment on Site view listing everything currently at that site. Archived equipment no longer appears in the Issues tab or the fitters tile on mobile, so your lists only show what is relevant.
Bug Fixes
Approval Change Reason pop-up – the reason and comment boxes are now always visible, so a reason can be picked in one click.
Later clockings now count – approving an automatic line, such as Travel Time to Site, no longer marks the whole day as approved, so later clockings add hours and pay as expected.
Locked weeks in Approval By Site (New) – locked weeks now show a padlock instead of Approve and Undo buttons.
Deleted checklist sections – a repeated section that has been deleted no longer reappears when the form is reopened, or in the submission and PDF.
“Submitted by” on checklists – the checklist submissions list now always shows the person who completed the checklist, even after a score review.
Sign-in skill requirements – where a site requires certain skills to sign in, workers who don't meet them (for example, with an expired card) are now correctly stopped from signing in.
Equipment Issues tab – the tab now refreshes each time it is opened, so resolved issues no longer show as open.
Training joining instructions – joining instructions now open correctly on the training tile in the mobile app.
Email addresses with special characters – sign in now accepts all standard email characters, such as an apostrophe.
“Last seen on” in reporting – reports now show when people last logged in after every scheduled update.
Skills Matrix site filter – filtering the Skills Matrix by Site or Site Business Unit now shows everyone who has clocked in at those sites in the last seven days, even if they have since moved to another site. People who have not been on site in that time no longer appear, and the Excel export matches what is on screen.
