We’re excited to announce the release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.65. This release delivers impactful improvements across file imports, rostering, leave accuracy, payroll, permissions and analytics, making WFM faster, clearer and more reliable. These updates reduce manual effort, remove legacy dependencies and streamline everyday workflows, giving teams greater accuracy and efficiency across scheduling, data management and reporting.

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 13 November 2025
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, 26 November 2025

Roster Manager

Roster Manager > Actions > Edit 

Shift times can now be adjusted backward or forward in bulk 

Bulk Edit Shifts now supports adjusting shift start, break and end times forward or backward by a custom number of minutes. Event managers and roster planners can instantly apply timing changes such as delays or early finishes across many shifts at once; streamlining last-minute roster adjustments and reducing manual editing. For example, this helps account for event delays, additions, early or late finishes due to unpredictable schedule changes to an event. 

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Updated ‘Assign & Unassign’ roster permission

The “Assign & Unassign Only” permission in Roster Manager has been updated and renamed into a standard permission; “Assign & Unassign.” This permission is now required for all shift assignment actions, including Fill Shift, Bulk Assign/Unassign, Re-assign, and editing a shift’s assignee. 

For existing users who previously had either “Assign & Unassign Only” or “Allow Shift Editing” will automatically retain the correct access. Additionally, managing Shift Offers will now require both “Assign & Unassign” and “Allow to Offer Rosters.”

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Improved error visibility in request confirmation dialog

When a bulk send cannot find any valid shifts during the Request Confirmation workflow, the warning is now displayed directly in front of the confirmation dialog, preventing scenarios where the dialog remained open with no user feedback. Users can quickly assess the messages and take action accordingly.

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Improved overtime warning display in Shift Editor

Overtime warnings have been refined to show all applicable overtime components when multiple overtime types are triggered. Rather than multiple scattered alerts, all overtime warnings now appear in a single consolidated alert panel, improving clarity and ensuring roster editors can make informed decisions.

Leave Management 

Admin > Award Config > Shift type settings 

Updated leave accrual eligibility threshold

The leave accrual rule “Apply this rule when Employee has worked at least…” now works consistently with the configured service threshold. Accruals will only begin once the employee reaches the configured service years (e.g., 7 years for Long Service Leave), preventing early projections and ensuring long-term accuracy of accrual forecasting.

Admin > System Config > Leave block-outs 

Blackout periods excluding Shift Types

Leave applications now properly allow leave during blackout periods when the associated shift type is configured as excluded from the blackout. These shifts are no longer greyed-out and are now correctly restricted. This ensures blackout rules fully match the customer’s configuration and is clearer when employees are applying for leave.

Workforce Analytics

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics 

Performance optimisation for multi-widget dashboards

Dashboard performance has been optimised through reduced database calls. This removes redundant load, dramatically improves dashboard speed, and stabilises system performance during peak reporting periods for a smoother overall workforce reporting experience.

Administation

Admin > Org structure  

Location code updates

Administrators can now reliably update Location Codes, with all changes persisting correctly to the database. This ensures accurate location data management and eliminates the need for workarounds.

Integration Central

Management > Advanced > Integration Central

Additional Roles & Role Revisions File Import Available 

A major enhancement within Integration Central introduces a new file-based import type allowing users to upload additional Roles and Role Revisions for an employee. 

Users can now upload additional roles after an employee’s basic profile is created, along with the pay related revision history.

The import supports unlimited rows (within a 15Mb file limit), full field-mapping controls, inheritance logic for role revisions, and robust validation with detailed error logs. Enhanced logs include row-level success/error status and downloadable error files via URL or SFTP. This modernised import process enables a faster onboarding of employees. Any customers using Back Office file imports can now utilise this file import to import employee data.
