We’re excited to announce Humanforce Cloud Version 6.0.45, which includes improvements to a range of Workforce Management modules such as Roster Manager, Timesheets and Leave Approval. Read on for all the details!

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 6th February 2025.
• All Humanforce Cloud accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated to version 6.0.45 overnight on Wednesday, 19th February 2025.

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

New sort by Status option

The Offer tab within the Fill shift workflow now allows you to sort by the Status column.

Role hierarchy in Shift View

Sort by role hierarchy is now applied in Shift view when you have Group by Location and Department on (just like Role view).  The roles listed within the Location and Department grouping are now sorted based on the role hierarchy defined in your Location and Department configuration. 

Scrolling shifts

We've fixed an issue in Shift view that occurred when viewing shifts for a single role. If there were more shifts than were visible on the page, when scrolling down the list there were duplicate shifts displayed.  

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

Breaks on overnight shifts at end of month

We've fixed an issue where a break was not being added to a timesheet if an employee was rostered for an overnight shift that crossed from the last day of one month into the first day of another month.

Profile field correction when adding a timesheet

We’ve resolved an issue that occurred when adding a timesheet for another user in the Timesheet Admin area. The Profile field was displaying the effective award profile for the currently logged in user, instead of the target employee (who would own the timesheet).

Timesheet date correction in some inline edit scenarios

In the Timesheet Admin screen, we've addressed an issue related to the inline edit function. Adding an end time to an active timesheet was using today's date, instead of the timesheet's start date. This case was most evident when a day or more had passed after the shift ended when a user added an end-time to the timesheet (as the date of editing and the date of the shift were different).

Leave Approvals

Management > Availability > Leave Approvals  

Submitting leave requests for an employee during a gray out period

A manager or supervisor with the permission “Allow request leave during gray out maxed,” can now successfully submit a leave request for one of their team members during a “gray out” period where the number of employees allowed to take leave has already been reached. 

For background, a “gray out” period allows a limit to be set on the number of employees that can take leave during the gray out period. Before this change, the supervisor or manager might have been blocked as the system was checking the permission of the employee taking the leave, instead of the user adding the leave request.

Area and Period information when source hours set to Profile Hours

When approving leave requests, Humanforce automatically pulls relevant Default details from the Employee profile. However when the source hours for the leave request was Profile Hours, the system was not linking the Period and Area info to the timesheet, as expected. This has now been corrected.

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Adjustment Payrun export file resolved

Resolved a case where some users encountered an error when attempting to generate an export file for an Adjustment Payrun in Humanforce Cloud.

Alesco Payroll - Batch number option

Humanforce provides a 3rd party Payroll Export to support Alesco Payroll. The export process in Humanforce Web now supports the display of a prompt Enter Batch number, which is consistent with the Back Office functionality when exporting the file. You will have the option to enter the batch number, which will be automatically included in the generated payroll file, provided this setting is enabled in the Payroll config.

Role Revisions

Management > Employee > Employee Management

When managing the Role Revisions for an employee and selecting a Pay Rate, the rate value was shown in the Rate Override field, which was creating some confusion - since the override was not actually in use. For easier and more efficient Role Revisions, we’ve introduced a clear display of the Pay Rate's value in a separate column called Rate. This is a read-only column and reflects the existing rate value that is attached at the end of the Pay Rate title.

Additionally, we are no longer copying the Rate value into the Override field, so it is much clearer when an Override value is actually set.
