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 the Humanforce Cloud. In this release, we’re pleased to bring the following capabilities into Humanforce Cloud.
Support for Pronto payroll export
Management > Timesheets > Payroll
Humanforce Cloud now supports exporting pay runs to Pronto Payroll (PRONTOPAYROLL_CONFIG1 and PRONTOPAYROLL_SIMPLE). After processing a pay run, you can select “ProntoPayroll Payrun Export” from the Export dropdown to download the data in the appropriate format, streamlining integration with third-party payroll systems.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
Create a timesheet before re-assigning a shift
Managers can now create a timesheet for the assigned employee during the re-assign shift workflow, where permissions allow, before re-assigning the shift to another employee. This feature provides greater flexibility for managing shift changes and handling last-minute adjustments. For more details, refer to this Help article on Re-assigning Shifts with timesheets.
The bulk add shifts modal now includes options to set Area, Event, and Function fields, enhancing the control and specificity of shift assignments.
Role sorting by hierarchy
When you have applied Group by Location and Department in Role view, the roles down the left hand side of the grid are now sorted based on the role hierarchy defined in the Location setup and Department configuration. This view offers a similar ordering of Roles and Shifts for customers familiar with the Department Roster.
Management > Rostering > Template Manager
Add shifts in bulk
A new “Add shifts” action has been added under the Actions button, allowing managers to create multiple shifts per role at once, significantly increasing efficiency in bulk shift creation. For more details, refer to this Help article on bulk adding multiple shifts.
When you have applied Group by Location and Department, the roles down the left hand side of the grid are now sorted based on the role hierarchy defined in the Location setup and Department configuration.
Expand multiple groups at once
Users can now expand multiple groups simultaneously when using the Group by options, allowing for more efficient navigation within grouped data.
Timesheets
Management > Timesheets > Timesheets
Inline editing for break minutes
The Break Minutes field on timesheets with a single unpaid break can now be edited directly from the main Timesheet page using inline editing, where permissions allow, eliminating the need to open each timesheet individually. For more details, refer to this Help article on Timesheet Inline Editing.
Quick filter application with ENTER key
Based on user feedback, pressing the ENTER key on your keyboard now applies all selected filters in the Timesheets table, making filtering faster and more intuitive.
Error resolved for users without clock-in settings
An internal server error (Error: 500) affecting Timesheet Admin, Employee Rostering, and Payroll pages for users without an assigned Clock-In setting was fixed, ensuring a smoother experience across these sections.
Employee Management
Management > Employee > Employee Management
Increased employee display options with customisable pagination
An “items per page” selector has been added, allowing users to view 15, 30, 50, or 100 employees at a time. The selected page size will be retained the next time you access this page. This feature enhances visibility and efficiency for managers handling large teams.
Automatic role revision on reactivation
When reactivating a non-default role on an employee profile, a new revision is now generated to reflect the current award profile and pay rate, ensuring accurate tracking.
Clearer indication of active role revision
In the Employee Editing screen, a green marker now clearly indicates the currently active role revision. This visual improvement helps users quickly identify which details are effective, reducing potential confusion when managing employee roles.
Resolved visa type save issue
A problem with the “Check Visa” feature was resolved. Changes to the Visa Type are now saved correctly in the employee profile after using the Check Visa function, ensuring important information is accurately recorded.
Leave and Availability
Employee > Availability
Improved unavailability creation on public holidays
An issue was resolved where an employee would receive a “no source hours found” error when converting a leave request on a public holiday into an unavailability request. This fix enables smoother handling of leave requests during public holidays, ensuring accuracy and consistency in availability records.
