We’re pleased to announce the upcoming release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.69, bringing new rostering enhancements to help managers build accurate rosters faster, including improvements to Bulk Add Shift and Role View, plus added flexibility in the Humanforce Payroll integration. Read on for all the details!

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 29 January 2026.
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, 11 February, 2026.

Roster Manager

Rostering > Roster Manager

Bulk Add Shift: Select Shift Definitions (including paid breaks support)

Roster managers can now choose a Shift Definition when using Bulk Add Shift, automatically applying the correct start/end times and break rules to each role. We’ve also improved break handling by adding clearer paid vs unpaid break fields, and ensured duplicated rows retain these settings, making large roster builds faster, more consistent and less error-prone.

Bulk Add Shift: Add comments in Roster Manager and Template Manager

You can now add comments while bulk-adding shifts in both Roster Manager and Template Manager. This makes it easier to capture important shift context (e.g. notes for employees or managers) across multiple shifts at once. Comments can be duplicated across rows where needed and are reliably saved on all created shifts including shifts created within Labour Groups.

Role colours now shown on shift cards in Role View

When viewing rosters in Role View, shift cards now display the role colour indicator on the left edge of each card. This creates a more consistent experience when switching from People View and helps teams using role colours identify roles at a glance.

Introducing the colours along the edge, rather than the entire shift background, ensures we remain compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) and avoid contrast problems with the shift details text.

Admin Settings

Leave Black-Outs

Exclude shift types from block-out block types

Admins can now configure Leave Black-Outs to exclude one or more shift types when setting up black-out block types in Humanforce Web. This gives organisations more control over how leave restrictions are applied, supporting more flexible rules and reducing the need for manual exceptions.

Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Faster access to employee pay type breakdown

We’ve streamlined navigation in the Payrun screen so that when employee details are expanded, the daily breakdown automatically expands too. This provides quicker access to pay type details and reduces extra clicks when reviewing employee pay information.

Integration Central

WFM > HF Payroll

Configurable mapping for Email 1 and Email 2 fields

We’ve added flexibility to the WFM → Humanforce Payroll integration, allowing customers to switch which WFM fields map to Email 1 and Email 2 in Humanforce Payroll. This makes it easier to align with your organisation’s preferred contact data setup and improves accuracy for employee email syncing.
