We’re excited to introduce Humanforce Cloud Version 6.0.38, which continues our investment in bringing further configuration options into Humanforce Cloud, and includes improvements to Roster Manager, Timesheets, Employee Management and Workforce Analytics.

• All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments, will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday 30th October 2024.

Back Office to Humanforce Cloud

We continue to invest in enabling you to perform key workforce management and payroll tasks faster and more efficiently in Humanforce Cloud. In this release, we’re pleased to bring the following capabilities into Humanforce Cloud.

Configuration of Gender Types

Configuration of Gender Types can now be completed in Humanforce Cloud.  This capability allows a manager to configure the gender options that will appear in a dropdown for selection within the Employee record in Management > Employee > Employee Management. For more information, please refer to the Help article Gender Type Configuration. 

Roster Alert Configuration

Roster alerts for Employee Role Restriction and Availability and Leave can now be fully configured in Humanforce Cloud.  Visit Admin > System Config > Clock In Settings to configure these alerts.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

In this update, we resolved an issue where the qualification warning is incorrectly displayed when: 

• a qualification was set to "can expire," and 
• the employee’s profile lacked an expiry date for the qualification. 

Now, if the qualification is marked to expire, you will see an alert only if the employee’s profile has an expiry date for the qualification and the expiry date is prior to the shift date.

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

Bulk authorisation issue resolved

We fixed an issue with bulk authorisation of timesheets. Previously, the Cost data was not always updated for all authorised timesheets. With this update, Cost values now update consistently for all authorised timesheets. Note that when a large number of timesheets are authorised, updates to Cost may take some time to display, while background processing completes. 

Start Date on Split Timesheets

Where there is insufficient leave for a timesheet leave type and the Shift Type offers an alternative leave for the remaining as per the configuration of the Shift Type Hierarchy, any resulting split timesheets that start on or after midnight into the next day now receive the correct DateStart value.

Employee Management

Management > Employee > Employee Management

Enhanced Termination Filters

When reviewing employees, you now have a drop-down to filter terminated employees by a specific time frame, such as "last 90 days." This makes it easier to customise your view without displaying all past terminations, which also improves loading times.

Role Reinstatement Update

When re-activating a role on an employee profile, it was re-instated with the existing role revision even though the default profile/rate had changed. This differs from the expected behaviour, and so an update has been made to ensure we add a new revision for a re-instated role using the updated profile/rate.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

To enhance variance analysis, we’ve added a new setting in the Variance Analysis By Hours and Variance Analysis By Paytype dashboards. The Include Unassigned Shifts option (found in Dashboard Parameters) now ensures that unassigned shifts can be accounted for in the analysis, providing a complete view of roster data.
