In this release, we’re excited to deliver a few enhancements to Timesheets and the Roster Manager feature, improvements to the Payroll Processing Screen, and more.

Read on for more details!

All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to bring you the items below, overnight on Wednesday 21st August 2024.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

The ability to split multiple Timesheets that share the same Start Date is now available, providing a faster method for splitting multiple timesheets. 

For more details, visit Splitting Timesheets on Humanforce Help. 

When adding or editing a timesheet, the Shift Type dropdown now only returns items that are available under the employee’s effective award profile based on the date of the timesheet. Previously, this drop-down was showing Shift Types based on today’s date.

The Cost fields for all Authorised Timesheets in all expanded groupings will now be refreshed when a related timesheet becomes authorised or when changes are made to its Pay Start or Pay End using the inline edit function, eliminating the need to manually refresh to see the cost impact of changes.

We’ve resolved an issue that caused the date picker in New Timesheets from Rosters to only be partially visible until hovered over. The date picker now appears correctly at all times.

The recent date picker enhancements that provided the new 'Today' button, which caused issues with using the previous/next arrow buttons to move between predefined pay periods, have been reverted, and the issue is resolved.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Approved leave hours are now included in the CUR hours displayed for employees on People view. 

The Status filter now provides the options of Published and Unpublished shifts.

You can now easily unassign all shifts assigned to employees who have approved leave. A new option has been added under Actions > Unassign > All on Leave.  

Within Shift view, you can now bulk create unassigned shifts for a single location and department.  When clicking on the + icon to add a shift, you now have the additional option to Add multiple shifts.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

You can now filter your templates by Location and or Department to easily find the template you need.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

The Export_Code label in the Timesheet datasource has been renamed to Location_Export_Code to better indicate which field the export code data is related to.

The Timesheet datasource now correctly excludes deleted adhoc allowances from the AdhocAllowanceCount.

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll 

The Payroll Processing Screen now correctly adheres to the permission "Allow viewing/editing payruns processed by other users." Accordingly, it will show payruns processed by other users only if the permission is enabled for the user. Previously, the payroll screen would ignore the permission and show all payruns processed by all users. 

Filters for Location, Department, Role, Employment Type,  and Award Profile have now been updated with a new dropdown list that allows easier data selection.

 

Humanforce Cloud now supports exporting payroll data files for Empower Payroll (EMPOWER_CONFIG1).  

Pay Comparison Report

Reports > Payroll > Pay Comparison Report

An issue affecting the selection of employees for Pay Comparison report has been resolved. The screen now displays the Employee Code, and Payroll code along with the employee name. 

Messaging

Employee > Messages 

Messaging |  An issue affecting the selection of employees when sending a message has been resolved. The screen now displays the Employee Code, and Payroll code along with the employee name.
