We’re happy to announce the release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.74, focused on strengthening rostering compliance, improving award interpretation accuracy, and tightening reporting security. You’ll see earlier validation in bulk rostering workflows, clearer permission boundaries in Template Manager, more predictable award outcomes across edge cases, and reporting exports that pay strict attention to visibility controls.

Release Schedule

• Staging environments were updated on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
• All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

Rostering & Templates

Bulk rostering actions enforce Minimum Shift Gap compliance - upfront

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

The Bulk Assign and Bulk Edit flows have been enhanced to check Minimum Shift Gap rules before applying changes. If a bulk action would create shifts that breach your configured rest periods, the action is stopped and affected shifts are clearly highlighted. This helps roster managers avoid accidentally publishing non‑compliant patterns and reduces the time spent undoing or fixing bulk updates after the fact.

Clearer permissions for assigning and unassigning template shifts

Management > Rostering > Template Manager

Assigning or unassigning shifts in a template now consistently requires the appropriate Template Manager > “Edit Template & Shifts” permission, in addition to existing rostering “Assign & Unassign” permission. People who can view templates but aren’t meant to maintain them will no longer be able to assign or unassign template schedules. This gives admins tighter control over who can roll out template changes and helps prevent unintended updates to shared roster templates.

Payroll, Costing & Awards

Manual Interpretation - better support for Back Pay and Advance Pay

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Manual Interpretation now opens reliably for timesheets dated outside the current payrun period, including Back Pay and Advance Pay items. Payroll teams can review and override these entries using the same editor they rely on for regular timesheets, reducing the need for workarounds and helping ensure unusual scenarios are still interpreted correctly before export.

More predictable overtime level assignment for Period Threshold rules

Award Profile Costing

Period Threshold rules that reset overtime levels per day now assign overtime to Level 1 as expected when the overtime amount on a shift sits within the Level 1 duration, even when hours span different days in the period. This keeps overtime splits aligned to your configured tiers and helps payroll admins trust that level‑based overtime is being applied consistently across multi‑day patterns.

Shift Gap rules honoured across pay‑period boundaries

Award Profile Costing

When you use the “Stop when shift gap is reached” option, calculations now stop at the configured gap threshold even when the relevant shifts cross from one pay period into the next. This ensures ordinary time and higher‑rate hours are capped correctly, avoiding overpayments caused by cross‑period edge cases and keeping entitlements aligned with your intended rest‑break logic.

Fairer, more consistent Missed Break penalties

Award Profile Costing

Missed Break Penalty rules have been refined to behave more predictably in everyday use. Recurring unpaid break penalties now use the actual break end time to schedule subsequent penalty windows, rather than relying solely on the planned schedule time. In addition, the “apply penalty only for the duration of the missed break” option can now be used with scheduled breaks, aligning behaviour with rostered breaks. Together, these changes help ensure penalties reflect what actually happened on shift while still following your configured rules.

Gross‑hours thresholds trigger intelligently at the end of a shift

Award Profile Costing

Thresholds that are based on Gross hours now trigger even when an unpaid break ends at, or after, the shift end time. Allowances and other threshold‑driven components will still be applied when the total hours worked meet your configured rules, so payroll teams can rely on end‑of‑shift patterns behaving as expected without needing to manually review borderline cases.

Reporting and Analytics

Weekly Department Roster CSV includes cost‑visibility controls

Reports > Roster > Weekly Department Roster Report

When exporting the Weekly Department Roster report to CSV, only users with permission to view costs will see cost values in the export. This brings CSV exports into line with the existing PDF and Excel behaviour, ensuring sensitive information is only visible to authorised users, regardless of the chosen export format.
