Workforce Management
Home
Rebranded Home Navigation Menu
We have introduced a new design in our Workforce Management navigation menu as part of rebranding. This design update only introduces a new colour palette, and all navigation items remain unchanged.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
Bulk Assign shifts
You can now assign shifts to employees in bulk which significantly reduces the time taken to assign multiple shifts. A new “Assign” action has been added under the Actions button, allowing managers to assign multiple shifts in one step.

Removed employee contact details in Fill Shift screen when ‘See Phone number’ access level permission is disabled
Employee phone numbers are now hidden within the Fill shift screen when the logged in user does not have the permission "See phone numbers" enabled. This helps limit the ability for contact details to be made visible by ensuring only people with the right permissions settings can view them.
Template Manager
Management > Rostering > Template Manager
Employee Break Check Validation
Roster Managers can now check to see if they have rostered a shift to an employee who does have the correct break length, and then make the required adjustments, so that they can quickly validate break details in Template Manager.
Bid Manager
Management > Shift Bid > Bid Manager
Correct hourly rates applied to shift bids
We have fixed a minor error where employees were all showing with the same rate of pay within bid manager. Now employees will appear with their correct hourly rate when managers are publishing bids to their employees for shifts.
Timesheet Admin
Timesheets > Timesheets
Corrected overnight shift durations
In the Timesheet Admin screen, shift durations in specific overnight scenarios will now be correctly calculated in specific overnight scenarios. Previously we may have incorrectly calculated shift duration Start and End Times for overnight shift of 12 hours or more duration.
Timesheet
Timesheets > Timesheets
No Show overlap alert validation
We have made a minor improvement with timesheet alerts by removing an unnecessary overlap alert when timesheets were overlapping with no shows. Previously timesheet alerts were active when it overlaps with no shows.
Pay Periods
Admin > Award Config > Pay Periods
Locked Pay period length and start dates
A minor change within Pay Periods has been made where historical Pay period lengths and start dates cannot be changed. This restriction ensures historical pay runs are not inadvertently moved between pay periods, and supports better pay run reporting.
Role Revisions
Management > Employee > Employee Management
Pay rate override field showing current effective rates
When viewing the Role Revisions for an Employee, we have fixed a display error to ensure the most up-to-date Pay Rate revision is shown. Despite previously shown display data not actually being used by the system when interpreting timesheets or payroll, the Pay Rate display field now shows updated Pay rate data based on any Pay rate revisions.
Leave Approval
Management > Availability > Leave Approvals
Leave request comments not obscured by navigation menu
We have now improved the visibility of leave request comments, where they have been obscured by the main navigation menu. This update will ensure these comments appear clearly and are no longer cut off by the navigation menu.
Department Qualifications
Admin > System Config > Department Qualifications
Assigning qualifications to Locations or Departments is now possible in Humanforce Web, making it easier to maintain the recommended or mandatory qualifications needed across the business. Previously, this function only existed in the Back Office.
Managing these qualifications is essential for having up-to-date Employee Qualification alerts during Rostering. For more information, read this help article.
