Introducing more flexible permissions for Timesheets, faster load times in Workforce Analytics, and more!

Now available in staging environments, all Humanforce Cloud accounts will be automatically updated to bring you the items below, overnight on Wednesday 8th November 2023.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

A new permission has been created which provides access to all pay companies in Timesheets, without giving access to the Payroll Screen. The new permission is available under View Timesheets Authorisation Page > Allow access to all pay companies.

This permission replaces the existing version Payroll Screen > Allow access to all pay companies, which when active also gave access to the Payroll screen itself.

The new permission specifically relates only to Timesheets functions. The Payroll Screen permission now only applies to Payroll.

All users with the Payroll version of the permission active have automatically been given the new permission, ensuring all users with access to all Pay Companies in Timesheets continue to do so.

With this additional flexibility, it is recommended that all customers check their access levels for the permission under Payroll Screen and remove that permission for all access levels that do not require access to the Payroll screen. To check or adjust permissions, visit Admin > Security Config > Access Levels.

For step-by-step instructions, visit Humanforce Help.

More improvements in the Timesheets screen

Along with minor UI improvements in the Timesheets screen, we’ve changed the way No Shows appear in the Reason column.

A hyphen (-) has replaced No-show in the Reason column (as No show is not a valid reason). No show will continue to appear in the Status column on No show records.

In addition, the Reason filter is now sorted in alphabetical order.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

We’ve improved the performance of the Employee Extended data source in Workforce Analytics, so data is loaded and displayed more quickly in the reports using this datasource. 

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Payrate and Hourly Rate columns are now displayed in the Payrun screen under the timesheet section. Payroll admins can now view the Payrate and Hourly Rate applicable for a timesheet.

Employee Roster

Management > Rostering > Employee Rostering

We’ve fixed two issues that were impacting Employee Rostering:

• Unassigned shifts can now be copied and deleted, eliminating extra steps to re-create identical unassigned shifts.
• The employee roster is now accurately aligning shifts when filters are updated.

Template Manager for Rostering

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

We are now validating total break times to ensure the break length can't be greater than the total shift time and that it falls within the shift start and end times.

Employee Change Approvals

Management > Employee > Employee Change Approvals

We’ve fixed an issue where Managers visiting the Employee Change Approval screen, could see change approval requests from employees outside the manager’s Location/Department visibility. The 'view all departments' and 'view all locations' permissions are now being correctly referenced.
