Release schedule

Roster Manager

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Error notification for failed request confirmations via SMS or push notification

To help roster managers determine if shift request confirmations via SMS or push notifications have been generated successfully we have generated an error notification at the top of Request Confirmation window. This will assist roster managers determine the number of shift requests that failed to send, and the reasons for incomplete requests. 

Area filter award profile conditions applied to shifts

Rules with "Area" filter special conditions will now successfully be applied in Employee/Dept Rostering when the relevant Area is selected for an assigned shift. This means when award profiles are set up with a special condition using the area filter, shifts will now correctly be applied to these set conditions. 

Optimised Template importing processing

Roster managers will experience faster template import processing when importing a template into an existing roster period with large dataset. Roster Managers will no longer experience temporary page freezing or inability switch between view tabs, whilst reducing the overall time it takes to import a template into Roster Manager.

Template Manager

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

Grouping visibility with shift deletion

When a "Group by" option is applied and shifts are deleted, the grouping will now be automatically removed from the template immediately, without requiring a page refresh. 

Timesheets

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

Back Office to Humanforce WFM (Cloud)

We continue to bring core Back Office functionality into Humanforce WFM (Cloud) to improve efficiency, control, and ease of access. In this release, we’re pleased to introduce:

Roster and Timesheet charge out reporting in Workforce Analytics

Workforce Analytics now contains additional Roster and Timesheet charge out reporting data for enhanced workforce reporting capability. Timesheet managers will now be able to access "Roster Charge Out Report" and "Timesheet Charge Out Report" capability in Workforce Analytics to perform more detailed reporting through Cloud WFM, and migrate away from Back Office (TimeTarget) reporting operations. 

Changing Default list filter from Unauthorised & No-Shows

“Unauthorised & No-Shows” is no longer the default filter applied to pages being loaded when either your browser does not have memory of the last filter used on the page, or when the browser recalls the last view was “All Timesheets” or “All Timesheets & No Shows”. 

Hourly rates displayed on timesheet admin  

We now ensure that when the Hourly Rate field is included in the table, the hourly rate value displayed is based on the Employee's assigned Pay Rate or the Override rate that was applicable for the timesheet date.

REST API

Effective Award Profile per date of timesheet

We have improved a query for the “GET /Timesheets” endpoint to ensure the API returns the most accurate effective award profile per date of timesheet. The “GET /Timesheets” endpoint will now return the correct effective award profile per date of timesheet.

Payroll Integrations

Chris21 Payroll Export - Weekend counter column addition

We have now added Weekend counter exporting data as an additional column for Chris21 payroll export. Reporting managers will be able to access this additional information when this option is enabled from the Pay Company configuration.

Exporting pay runs to Pay Global Payroll

Humanforce Cloud now supports exporting pay runs to Pay Global Payroll (PAYGLOBAL_CONFIG1, PAYGLOBAL_DEMO). After processing a pay run, you can view it and then select “Pay Global Payrun Export” from the Export dropdown to download the data in the appropriate format, streamlining integration with third-party payroll systems.
