What's new
We ship improvements constantly
A running record of the user-visible changes to CrewBase — new features, enhancements, and fixes. Want something specific? Tell us.
May 2026
- New
Leave balances — set each employee's vacation, sick, and personal day balances. Approved requests automatically deduct the right number of working days, and the request form shows a live “days left after approval” preview before anyone submits.
- New
Your plan, at a glance — the Settings page now shows your current plan, price, user limit, and trial countdown in one card.
- Improved
Every leave request now shows its total working-day count — on the request itself and inline in the approvals queue — so managers can see the cost of a request without doing the math.
- Improved
Can't accidentally overspend leave — the system now blocks a request that would push an employee's balance negative (counting any requests already pending), with a clear explanation instead of a surprise later.
April 2026
- New
Getting-started checklist — new owners get a guided setup checklist (branding, departments, inviting the team, a first test request) so your portal is ready for everyone quickly.
- New
In-app support — open a support ticket from inside your portal and track the conversation, with attachments, without leaving the app.
- Improved
Free 60-day trial — every plan now starts with two full months free, no credit card required. Long enough to actually roll CrewBase out to your whole team.
Earlier in 2026
- New
Policy acknowledgement campaigns — send a policy to your team and capture a timestamped, typed-name acknowledgement from each person, with a dashboard of who's done and who hasn't.
- New
Onboarding & offboarding checklists — task lists assigned across the new hire, their manager, and admins, so the first day (and the last day) is fully handled.
- New
Self-serve password reset — employees reset their own passwords by email, no admin involvement needed.
- Improved
Mobile-first portal — install CrewBase to your phone's home screen and approve requests one-handed. Forms, lists, and approvals are all built for small screens first.
