Rostering & Templates

Copy shifts without assignees by default

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

When you copy a Labour Group with shifts included, the "Unassign" option is ticked by default, so shifts are copied without assignees. You only carry assignees across when you choose to untick the option.

Continue template imports with duplicate labour group names

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

When importing a roster template in Roster Manager or Event Manager, you can now review a warning and choose Continue if named labour groups match existing groups on the same date. Unnamed labour groups no longer trigger the duplicate-name check, so they do not prevent the import. Duplicate-name validation when adding, editing or copying an individual labour group is unchanged.

Availability alerts respect date-specific changes

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

Roster Manager now raises the configured Availability and Leave alert when date-specific unavailability or approved leave conflicts with a shift, even if recurring Available or Preferred availability covers that time. This helps you identify these conflicts when reviewing, saving or assigning shifts.

Roster update notifications only for changed shifts

Management > Rostering > Roster Manager

When shift adjustments trigger roster recosting across a pay period, the system now preserves original edit timestamps on any shifts where costs remain unaffected. This ensures published roster notifications are delivered exclusively for shifts with genuine changes, eliminating unnecessary update alerts for employees and managers.

Leave & Availability

"Do not create timesheets on leave request approval" applies to Humanforce Cloud WFM

Admin > Admin Config > System Settings > Leave/Availability

This setting now applies to Humanforce Cloud WFM, as it did in Back Office. When it is turned on, timesheets are no longer created for the approved leave period, allowing you to manage and approve leave consistently at scale.

Timesheets

More reliable timesheet totals when editing inline

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

When you edit "Pay Start" and "Pay End" inline in Timesheet Admin, the timesheet's total and net minutes now update more reliably when your changes are saved. This helps Workforce Analytics reports accurately reflect the net time recorded on the timesheet.

Adjust award interpretation from the Edit Timesheet modal

Management > Timesheets > Timesheets

You can now manually adjust award interpretation for authorised timesheets from the Edit Timesheet modal in Timesheet Admin. This lets you correct issues and make adjustments before pay day, while you review and approve timesheets, without switching to Payroll.

From the Edit Timesheet modal, you can:

• Select "Manual Override" to edit pay type quantities, add pay types or remove rows.
• Select "Apply" to recalculate costs immediately and see the financial impact of your changes.
• Select "Clear Override" to undo your changes and return the timesheet to automatic costing.

The Timesheet Admin and Payroll admin pages now use the same design for award interpretation, so the experience is consistent wherever you make these adjustments.

Kiosk

Exclude Offline Kiosk timesheets from server auto log off

You can now exclude timesheets started through Offline Kiosk from DataExchange Auto Log Off. This lets the actual clock-out time recorded at the kiosk sync when the device reconnects, instead of the server ending the timesheet before that clock-out is received. The option is off by default, so existing Auto Log Off tasks remain unchanged.

Automatically end open shifts on Offline Kiosk

Admin > System Config > Location Settings > Offline Kiosk Auto Log Off

Offline Kiosk can now automatically end open shifts when employees forget to clock out, without waiting for a connection to the server. You can set separate time limits for rostered and non-rostered shifts in Location Settings. Open breaks are also ended, and the timesheets sync when the kiosk reconnects, remaining unauthorised for review.

Manual breaks at kiosk clock-out are recorded on the correct day

Breaks entered at kiosk clock-out are now recorded on the correct day, including for employees in time zones behind the server. Timesheets and kiosk logs now match the day the break was taken.

Payroll & Integrations

Missed break penalties trigger at the correct point in the shift

Missed break penalties now trigger at the required point in the shift, so pay is calculated accurately when a break is taken close to the scheduled break window. For example, where an award has a break schedule configured for a 30-minute unpaid break at 6 hours and 30 minutes, a break taken at 6 hours and 1 minute into the shift now triggers the penalty as expected.

Timesheet View Settings on Processed Payroll

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

Processed Payroll now has a "Timesheet View Settings" button, so you can set up the timesheet view to suit how you review pay runs. Use it to:

• Choose which columns appear and change their order.
• Freeze up to five columns on the left so key details stay in view.
• Choose how employee names display, either first name first or last name first.

Your settings are saved and applied each time you return. Columns also now use the same names as Timesheet Admin, including "Employee Name", "Start Date", "Timesheet Gross Hours" and "Timesheet Net Hours". This means you can review timesheets at scale on the Processed Payroll screen and adjust the view to suit your workflow.

Authorised At and Modified At show local time

Management > Timesheets > Payroll

The "Authorised At" and "Modified At" columns now show your local time when you review an employee's timesheets in a pay run, consistent with Timesheet Admin.

Reporting

Locked status in the Timesheet Data (Built-in) report

Management > Advanced > Workforce Analytics

The Timesheet Data (Built-in) report now includes the "IsLocked" column, so you can see which timesheets are locked.
