We’re pleased to introduce Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.52.  This release delivers a broad range of improvements across key modules, including Roster Manager, Template Manager and Integrations. We’re also delighted to share that automatic forwarding of employees to Humanforce Payroll is now available for those who wish to opt in for early access. 

Read on for all the details!

Release schedule

• Customers with staging environments will be kept informed of the schedule for release to staging environments
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.52 overnight on Wednesday, 28 May 2025.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Improved shift sorting

We've added to the sorting criteria for shifts in Roster Manager.  Shifts are now sorted by shift start time, then shift end time. This means that when you have multiple shifts with the same start time and varying end times, they will appear in time order.

New option to edit Labour Group from Role View

When you are grouping by Labour Group in Role View (and are viewing a single day), you are now able to edit a labour group directly from Role View.

Labour Group break minutes in shifts created in bulk

When bulk adding shifts to a labour group and the labour group break minutes is set to 0, the break minutes in the shifts created will default to 0. 

Faster loading of Fill shift

We've improved the time it takes to load your employee list when entering the Fill shift screen. 

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

New option to display Custom Roster Fields

Custom Roster Fields are now available in Shift detail settings so you can toggle display of each field in the shift tiles on/off as needed, improving visibility of key shift information directly on the template.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

Improved handling of timesheet splits

We’ve improved handling of timesheet splits in scenarios where a timesheet has a correct active break alongside deleted breaks. The timesheet will split successfully if the deleted break start times are later than the first timesheet split's end time.

Payrun upload to Xero NZ

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

After processing a payrun in WFM, attempting to do a Direct Upload to Xero API may have failed due to an integration issue. This has been resolved so the upload can complete without issue.

Employee Management

Management > Employee > Employee > Employee Management
Admin > Security Config > Access Levels

New permission options for controlling visibility of Pay Rate names and rates

The permissions for viewing pay rates within the Employee Management space have been expanded, to provide the option to allow a user to see and change Pay Rates without seeing the actual rate value. This enables more of your team members to help update Pay Rates within an employee's role revision by referencing the Pay Rate name, while keeping the hourly rate ($) information hidden.

Clocking

Improved usability for Shift Transfer

We’ve addressed a limitation in the Employee Self Service workflow when using the Shift Transfer function. This feature now allow users to end their active timesheet and immediately clock a new timesheet with different values (eg, new role or new department) without needing to re-select the Location.

Integration Central

Management > Advanced > Integration Central

Employee forwarding to Humanforce Payroll: early access availability

Automatic forwarding of employees from HR to WFM and Humanforce Payroll, including the employee's current active role and rates, is now available for customers who wish to opt in for early access. If you’re interested in opting in for early access, reach out to your Humanforce contact. 

Humanforce HR to WFM

Improved employee data sync of employees with termination dates (such as fixed-term contracts)

With this improvement, employees with a termination date in their profile at the point of creation (such as fixed-term contracts) will be successfully loaded to Humanforce WFM. Employee data will also sync with WFM after termination dates (up to a configured number of days) to ensure the accuracy of final pay processing.

Improved reliability for Qualifications syncing

We’ve improved the reliability of syncing employees' qualifications (that are in non-draft status) from Humanforce HR to WFM. This sync occurs when the Qualification Instance Updated webhook is triggered, or when an employee bulk import is run in Integration Central.

Improved logs of data syncs

Logs for all webhooks (that send data from HR to WFM) have been expanded to include data syncs that were successfully processed without any errors, improving traceability. Previously, only errors were logged.

Field mapping enhancements

Field mappings in Humanforce HR to WFM integration now allow mappings with HR Job.Remuneration fields (where applicable). We’ve also removed irrelevant fields in the mapping drop-downs making it easier to setup accurate field mapping.

File imports: improved handling of empty rows

With this improvement, all empty rows of data will be skipped and a log of these skipped rows provided back to users for review via Integration Central log screens. Further, we have also introduced a maximum row limit per file of 50k.

Datapay NZ: easier mapping and improved tasks

We’ve made mapping Pay-Types for the Humanforce Payroll - Datapay NZ integration much easier by keeping the column names in the table visible at all times.  Previously, the column names would disappear out of view when you scrolled down.

We've strengthened the stability of Datapay NZ tasks to ensure Pay-Type mappings remain intact. Previously, navigating directly to the scheduler page after reopening a saved task could cause configurations to be lost. With this update, managing settings is more intuitive and efficient.

REST API

Role revision improvements

This improvement aligns our API with the web application when it comes to modifying roles for an employee. Specifically, when using the POST and PATCH Employee and Employee/RoleRevision endpoints, the Revision Effective Date can no longer be older than the Employee Start Date. 

This ensures Role Revisions are not updated in a way that makes them incompatible when employee data is synchronized with payroll systems.

Award Profile with shifts

It's now possible to find the Award Profile associated with a shift using the Roster Items endpoint. It includes the award profile that was effective for the shift based on the roster date.

For more information and API documentation, visit Humanforce WFM REST API Overview.

We are excited to announce that we have now released an update to our Humanforce Talent Indeed Apply integration, helping deliver greater insights for HR talent acquisition teams.

🔥  What’s New?

We have updated the existing Indeed Apply integration functionality. As a result of this change, customers are advised that the processing of candidate information for Indeed Apply applications will change slightly.

When candidates apply to jobs posted on Humanforce Talent using Indeed Apply, Humanforce Talent will now sync the candidate status with Indeed through a process known as ‘Disposition Sync’.

All Humanforce Talent statuses will be mapped to a corresponding Indeed Disposition Sync status, allowing for any status move occurring in relation to Indeed Apply candidates within Humanforce Talent to be reflected in Indeed. Apart from the status, only an Indeed ID will be transferred to Indeed, no other PII or candidate application information will be used.

The use of the Indeed Integration is at all times governed by Indeed’s terms of service, Indeed’s cookie policy, and privacy policy. Disposition Data will be transferred to Indeed as data controller in accordance with Indeed’s privacy policy and Humanforce customers are assured that application data processed through Humanforce Talent’s integration with Indeed Apply, will only be relayed back to Indeed, and continues to adhere to existing Humanforce customer data protection policies.

⭐️  Why It Matters

Humanforce Talent customer utilising Indeed Apply can gain greater application tracking capability from Indeed, empowering talent attraction teams with greater candidate intelligence and insight.

🏁  Next Steps

This new capability will be applied automatically to Humanforce customers utilising Indeed Apply, so there is no requirement for customers to activate or perform any configuration.

If you would like to opt-out of this element of the Indeed Apply solution for any reason, please email support@livehire.com.

Our April 2025 release for Humanforce HR (formerly known as intelliHR) delivers a suite of enhancements designed to streamline your HR workflows, boost visibility into job changes, and improve data accuracy across your platform. With a revamped Pending Job Updates page, smarter export tools, and API improvements, your team can act faster and with greater confidence. Plus, we've addressed key bugs to ensure a smoother experience for everyone.

Let’s explore!

Feature Updates

Early Access: Enhanced Pending Job Updates Page

A new Pending Job Updates page is now available for early access, providing your team with all the details needed to review and action pending job changes as part of the Job Approval process. 

This update to the feature ensures that your team has all the information they need to action pending updates as part of your Job Approval process, and ultimately make faster, more informed decisions on pending job changes with all relevant information at their fingertips.

This feature will be generally available from May 13, 2025. To get early access, System Administrators can contact maryc@humanforce.com with your platform URL.

Export Primary Jobs from the Bulk Data Tool

A new filter in the Bulk Data Tool allows you to export only Primary Jobs, making it easier to identify and report on key roles within your organisation. Users will now be able to extract and analyse primary job data easily for compliance, reporting, and workforce planning purposes.

API Enhancements

Users will now experience smoother integration with external systems thanks to more comprehensive webhook events. In this April update, the  job.onboarding_payroll_completed webhook event now includes both Person and Job IDs, improving integration and tracking capabilities.

In addition to this, the person.updated webhook event now features an "Updated via Onboarding" flag, offering greater transparency into changes made during onboarding.

Additional Fixes

• Resolved errors with onboarding templates, including disabled custom field options and misplaced document sections.
• Fixed a 404 error in Qualification expiry reminder URLs.
• Users can now successfully download charts as images from analytics pages.

We’re pleased to introduce Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.51. This release delivers valuable enhancements across rostering, payroll, and API integrations, as well as introduces new data capture options in Employee Management. These improvements help payroll and operations teams improve efficiency, reduce manual tasks, and maintain data accuracy across the platform.

Read on for all the details!

Release schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 1 May 2025
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.51 overnight on Wednesday, 14 May 2025

Back Office to Humanforce WFM (Cloud)

We continue to bring core Back Office functionality into Humanforce WFM (Cloud) to improve efficiency, control, and ease of access. In this release, we’re pleased to introduce:

Manually interpret payrun data at daily level

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

You can now manually edit payrun data for individual days within the payrun screen. This allows you to adjust pay types when timesheet data is correct but payroll interpretation needs modification.

Manual edits can be made in the Daily breakdown of pay types section:

• Click on a date or unit value to open the paytype list
• Pay types with existing values appear at the top of the list for easier access
• Edit the required pay types
• Click OK to save your changes

⚠️ Manual overrides will be cleared if the payrun is reprocessed.

Permission required: Allow manual editing of payroll paytype data

Note: Manual interpretation remains available during pay processing at the timesheet level, where you can change pay types on specific timesheets. This new option at the daily breakdown level offers greater flexibility, allowing you to revise interpreted payrun data independent of the timesheet.

Smartly Payroll export now supported on cloud

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

You can now export pay runs directly to Smartly Payroll (SMARTPAYROLL_CONFIG1) via the Export dropdown in the payrun screen. This makes integration with Smartly Payroll simpler and brings this export functionality to Humanforce WFM (Cloud).

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Download and preview SFTP export files

When exporting to SFTP, you can now download a local preview of the export file directly from the payrun. This gives payroll teams the ability to review files before they are sent to their destination.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

View Labour Group and Custom Roster Fields in shift tiles

Two new options are now available in Shift detail settings to improve visibility of key shift information directly on the roster:

• Labour Group: Display the labour group associated with each shift.
• Custom Roster Fields: Display any custom fields set up for shifts.

When enabled, these fields will be visible on shift tiles in the roster grid, helping managers quickly access important shift details without needing to open individual shifts.

Filter by Labour Group

You can now filter by Labour Group in People view and Role view, making it easier to focus on specific groups during rostering.

Automatically populate Custom Roster Fields when bulk adding shifts

When adding shifts into a Labour Group in bulk, any assigned Custom Roster Fields now automatically populate on new shifts, reducing manual entry.

Employee Management

Management > Employee > Employee Management

New Payroll Tax Exempt setting

A new Payroll tax exempt checkbox has been added to the employee’s Employment details. Use this to indicate whether employees should be excluded from payroll tax calculations.

Permission controlled via: Field Permissions > Employment details
API support: Available via GET, POST and PATCH in the Employees endpoint.

Note: This field is not yet available in integrations, including Humanforce Payroll. Support for integrations will be added in a future release.

REST API

Integrations > REST API

Correct ExportPays value in Employee summary API

The EmployeeSummaryModel (GET /Employees) endpoint now correctly returns the ExportPays value, which reflects the “Include in Payroll Export” setting.

We’re excited to announce Humanforce Work App. Version 1.20, which includes improvements in key mobile workforce management areas such as the addition of a new Team View screen, and updates to Schedule, Clocking and general performance improvements.

Release Schedule

• iOS and Android Work app v1.20 release is expected to be available in the week of 12th May 2025.

Team View – New Feature

Schedule > Team View

We’re excited to introduce Team View — a new way for employees to quickly and easily see who they are working with each day.

Accessible only when permissions have been enabled by assigned administrator/s, Team View displays employees working at the same location and department. 

Team View provides greater visibility across teams for employees so that they can be encouraged to pick up additional shifts with colleagues, and also increasing overall workforce productivity.

Schedule Screen Improvements

We are excited to share some Schedule screen improvements that will assist by delivering greater usability, efficiency, and clarity, ensuring a more intuitive and productive experience for all users each day. 

• Expanded Shift Detail Screens: Shift Detail Screens now include additional fields such as shift type, event location, comments, and custom roster data. This provides users with comprehensive information at a glance, enabling better-informed decision-making.
• Improved User Interface & Clarity: The Shift cards and Calendar UI have been updated to enhance readability. This ensures users can quickly identify the current day and navigate their schedules more efficiently.
• Net Shift Hours: Net Shift Hours are now displayed directly on shift tiles, eliminating the need for additional clicks and saving time during shift management.
• Shift Bid Withdrawal Process: Withdrawing from a shift bid now triggers a confirmation popup and updated bid language. Users are automatically redirected back to the Schedule screen afterward, streamlining the process and minimising disruptions to workflow.
• Schedule Screen Fix: A previous issue causing the Schedule screen to display only the current day’s data by default has been resolved (Android devices). Users can now seamlessly access and review schedules for any date without manual adjustments.
• iOS-Specific Calendar Sync: iOS users will experience smoother navigation thanks to improved synchronisation between the calendar view and the bottom day view. This ensures consistent data display and a more intuitive interface.
• Visual Clarity for Non-Working Days: Grey/Black Out tiles, which indicate non-working days, are now displayed outside of the Leave section. This update provides clearer visual differentiation between leave days and other types of non-working days, reducing confusion.
• Permission-Based Availability Screen: The availability screen will now be hidden for users without permission to manage availability This ensures a clutter-free interface and reduces confusion for users without access to set availability.

Clocking Enhancements

• Location Accuracy Improvements: Clocking in now provides enhanced accuracy for users with geo-fence enabled, ensuring precise location capture when starting work. This minimises errors and ensures compliance with location-based shift requirements.

General UI and Performance Improvements

• Leave Request Permissions: The 'Allow Advanced Leave Requests to be Made' permission is now strictly enforced. Users without this permission can no longer enter custom leave hours.
• Roster Comment Visibility: Roster comments are now hidden on the clocking screen for users without the 'View Roster Comments' permission. This ensures sensitive or irrelevant information remains inaccessible to unauthorised personnel.
• General UI & Performance Enhancements: Minor UI issues, such as incorrect net shift hours displayed on shift offers (Android), have been resolved. Android users will also see corrected net shift hour calculations on the Clocking screen, ensuring accurate data representation
• Timesheet Improvements: Timesheet creation and editing have been streamlined across Android and iOS. Fixed issues include incorrect date population and error messages, resulting in a smoother, more reliable timesheet management experience.

We’re excited to announce Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.50, delivering practical enhancements across rostering, payroll, reporting, and integrations. This release introduces smarter shift handling, new permissions, improved reporting flexibility, and important integration fixes—helping you streamline operations and maintain accuracy across connected systems.

Read on for all the details!

Release schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 17 April 2025
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.50 overnight on Wednesday, 30 April 2025

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Apply shift type hierarchy when using leave reassignments

When you create a timesheet using a leave shift type and the employee has insufficient leave, the system now automatically applies the next available shift type based on the defined hierarchy. This ensures shift assignments are completed without manual correction.

Tip: Configure shift type hierarchies in Admin > Award config > Shift types.

New permission: Assign and unassign shifts only

A new permission—Assign and unassign only—lets users manage shift allocations without access to full roster editing.
Make sure the Allow editing permission is disabled to restrict access correctly.

Display labour group comments in Role view

When Group by labour group is enabled in Role view, comments linked to the labour group are now visible. This makes context-specific information more accessible within the roster.

Import templates on any day

You can now import templates on any day within the roster date range, not just the original start date. This allows for more flexible planning and easier template reuse.

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Xero NZ timesheet upload fix

We’ve resolved an issue where timesheets were not being created in Xero NZ after a successful payroll export.

Important notes:

• Reimbursement pay types are not included in the export
• Manual payslip creation in Xero NZ is required if the employee is not set up for auto-payslip creation

Reports

Reports > Roster > Roster by roles

Order shifts by start time

The Roster by roles report now includes an option to order shifts chronologically by start time. This improves readability, especially when reviewing or printing reports with multiple shifts per role.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce analytics

New data field: Employee default period

The employee’s Default Period field is now available in the following data sources:

• Leave request
• Leave balance
• Roster template

This supports more granular filtering and grouping of workforce data.

Tip: Default periods help define shifts into ranges (e.g. morning, evening), and can be used to support better sorting and filtering in rosters and reports.

REST API

Integrations > REST API

Improved timezone handling for mixed clock sources

We’ve made improvements to how timezones are handled when a timesheet is clocked in using Humanforce Web or the Mobile App, and then clocked out via the REST API.

This ensures start and end times are correctly aligned across systems, reducing inconsistencies when capturing time through different entry methods.

Integration Central

Management > Advanced > Integration Central

Humanforce HR qualification sync

Qualification updates in Humanforce HR now sync reliably to WFM when the Qualification Instance Updated webhook is triggered or when running a bulk employee import.

Download task history to CSV

You can now export task history logs as CSV files, making it easier to review, audit, and troubleshoot integration activity.

Historical logs in Data Import

Historical logs in the Humanforce HR Data Import section are now retained. You can now view entries older than the current day—restoring access to important historical integration records.

Early access features

The following features are available in version 6.0.50 as early access and are not enabled by default.

To activate either feature on your site, log a support ticket via Humanforce Help.

Sync role revision effective dates from Humanforce HR

Customers using the Humanforce HR to WFM integration can now sync role revisions into WFM with the correct effective date, ensuring downstream payroll accuracy.
Learn more about the HR-WFM integration.

HR-WFM employee forwarding with pay rate

The employee forwarding feature now includes the employee’s current active role and pay rate when syncing data from Humanforce HR to WFM and then to Payroll. This ensures accurate and complete payroll setup across systems.

We’re excited to announce Humanforce Cloud Workforce Management Version 6.0.49, which includes improvements to Roster Manager, Template Manager, Employee Management, Timesheet, Payroll and more. 

Read on for all the details!

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 3rd April 2025.
• All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.49 overnight on Wednesday, 16th April 2025.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Comments within labour groups to be automatically included in shifts added to labour group

To enhance the visibility of comments, when creating shifts within a labor group, we will automatically include the comment in new shifts if the labor group has comments applied.

Creation of duplicate roles within bulk add shifts

To improve rostering efficiency and accuracy, users can now add a new row for a role when creating shifts via the bulk add feature. Users can now create shifts for the same role with different shift criteria.

Automatic authorisation selection when timesheet shift type is ‘Leave’

To enhance timesheet accuracy, when creating a timesheet and selecting a "Leave" shift type, we have ensured that the Authorise checkbox will be automatically selected.

Add Offered and Declined shift counts to the footer

To encourage greater visibility of shift offers and responses we have now added Offered and Declined shift counts to the footer.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager 

Un-assign All shifts getting disabled after un-assigning selected shifts

To improve shift assignment for users, we now have ensured that when un-assigning shifts, the un-assign All Shifts option is now available for selection. 

Removal of notification to apply updates in Template Manager

We have created more accurate notifications in Template Manager so that users will no longer receive roster manager related notifications in Template Manager.

Employee Management

Management > Employee > Employee Management 

Limiting Role Revision ‘Effective Date’

For greater accuracy we now have ensured that the "Effective Date" on new Role Revisions are no longer allowed to be earlier than the Employee Start date. This is to ensure employee are paid accurately and to make it compatible with any subsequent integrations.  

Please note, existing revisions - e.g. those set with a year of 1900 - will not be affected. However if you attempt to modify those revisions, and they are the current revision, the system will validate that the date is after (or on) the Employee Start date.

Timesheet

Management > Timesheets 

Refactor shift types dropdown load

We have optimised the time it takes to load the timesheet editing screen, allowing you to make changes faster.   

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Leave Pay types inclusion in adjustment pay run export files

For greater reporting completeness, we have now ensured leave pay types are now correctly included in the adjustment pay run export file for the Generic Payrun Export (Identifier: GENERIC_PAYTYPE01) when “Consolidated Leave Export” setting is enabled in the Pay company configuration.

Fast payroll export in simple format

To enhance quick and easy payroll reporting, and minimise Payroll reporting export timeouts, after processing a pay run in Humanforce, users have the option to export a Simple Format report. Payroll teams will now experience faster and more reliable report generation when exporting unformatted .

Payroll data export 

We have improved payroll system responsiveness for users performing payroll data exports. Users will now experience improved payroll exporting after processing a payroll.

REST API

Rest API > /clocking/clockin

Timezone offset adjustments via API

We have improved timesheet records by ensuring accurate timezones are captured. Now timesheets clocked exclusively via API will accurately reflect with Timezone offset adjustments.

We’re excited to announce Humanforce Cloud Workforce Management Version 6.0.48, which includes improvements to display options in Roster Manager and Template Manager, and better default filtering behaviour in Timesheets.  We’re also excited to provide early access to syncing New Zealand bank account details across Humanforce HR, WFM and Humanforce Payroll.  

Read on for all the details!

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 20th March 2025.
• All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.48 overnight on Wednesday, 2nd April 2025.

Roster Manager and Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager/Template Manager

New option to show Event Export Code in shift tiles 

A new option for Event Export Code has been added to the Shift Detail Settings in Roster Manager and Template Manager. This allows you to view Event Export Code within the shift tile.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

New option to show Employee Code  

From Shift view, you are now able to add a column for Employee Code within the Role summary window.

Accurate Group By Location

We've fixed an issue in People view when Group By Location is applied. Employees were being displayed within all locations, instead of only the locations they were assigned to.

Accurate Hours Required calculation and display of Unavailable or on Leave warning

We've resolved an issue that was occurring within the Hours Required warning where non-attended shifts were incorrectly being included within the calculation of total hours worked.  

We've resolved an issue where the employee Unavailable or on Leave warning was not shown on the shift details.  Now you will see details of the warning within the shift if the employee is rostered during a period of leave or unavailability, as well as in the Alerts panel. 

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager 

Accurate break validations after Date Effective is edited

We've fixed an issue that was occurring if the Date Effective date in a Template was edited. Previously this would cause incorrect break validations for overnight shifts where the break occurred after midnight.  Now all shifts will validate as expected and successfully import into the roster.

Filter options now displayed as expected

We've fixed an issue where the Event and Function filters were not displaying any options to select when clicking on the dropdown. 

Timesheet Admin

Timesheets > Timesheets 

Default filtering for improved performance

To improve performance, Unauthorised & No-Shows is now the default filtering applied on page load, when:

• your browser doesn't have memory of the last filter you used on this page, or
• the browser recalls your last view was All Timesheets or All Timesheets & No Shows.

We’ve made this change because the Unauthorised & No-Shows view is optimised for the most common Timesheet workflows, and will contribute to faster page performance.

Improvements to splitting timesheets that cross over midnight

We’ve improved the business logic within splitting timesheets that cross over midnight. When split, any splits which fall entirely within the second day were having the DateStart and PayDate values of the original timesheet. This has been rectified so their DateStart and PayDate values are updated to match the second day’s date.

Payroll (Workforce Management)

Export to Sybiz Visipay Payroll added

Humanforce Cloud now supports exporting pay runs to Sybiz Visipay Payroll (Pay Package ID:SYBIZ01). After processing a pay run, you can view it and then select Sybiz Visipay Payrun Export from the Export dropdown to download the data in the appropriate format, streamlining integration with third-party payroll systems. 

New option to use Custom folder for exports to SFTP

Customers using the Generic Payroll Config now have the option to use a Custom folder if they have the Export to Humanforce SFTP setting enabled in their Pay Company settings. This can make it faster for 3rd party payroll systems to download the file from a specific location. Please contact Humanforce Support if you are interested in using this option to ensure the shared folder mapping is correct.

Humanforce Payroll

Early access to syncing New Zealand bank account details now available

With this feature, your New Zealand region employees are able to setup their New Zealand bank accounts in HR and have it sync'd through to Workforce Management and (via Workforce Management) to Humanforce Payroll. This feature is now available for early-access customers. Please reach out to your Humanforce contact to enable it in your site.

REST API

We have improved the logic when using POST for a clock out request in the restful API. Specifically to only accept UTC Datetime provided in ClockInTimeUtc and ClockOutTimeUtc fields for clocking requests. If those fields are not provided, we'll use the server UTC time. You can find more information via https://[your-subdomain].humanforce.com/swagger/ui/index (just replace the [your-subdomain] with your company's humanforce domain.

For further background information, visit Humanforce Help for an overview of the Humanforce REST API.
