New release! Humanforce Cloud Workforce Management – Version 6.0.63
We’re excited to announce the release of Humanforce Workforce Management (Cloud) version 6.0.63. This release delivers further support to transition from BackOffice to Humanforce Cloud, with a new insufficient leave alert for Timesheets, and several enhancements to Roster Manager and other key modules. Read on for all the details!
Release Schedule
- Staging environments were updated on Thursday, 16 October 2025
- All Humanforce WFM (Cloud) accounts and UAT environments will be automatically updated overnight on Wednesday, 29 October 2025
Back Office to Humanforce Cloud
Timesheets
Management > Timesheets > Timesheets/Daily Authorisation
New alert for insufficient leave balances in Humanforce Cloud
A new Timesheet alert is now shown when an employee has insufficient leave for the leave type selected on their timesheet. This gives Managers and Payroll Admins early visibility of insufficient leave issues, allowing them to be addressed promptly and ahead of payroll processing. The alert both highlights the timesheet record and surfaces a notification.
For those customers using Back Office to process payroll, this new alert fulfills the same purpose as the Leave Adjustment screen in Back Office, to support your transition to Humanforce Cloud.
To enable the Timesheet alert for Insufficient Leave Balance, head to Admin > System Config > Clock In Settings. For step-by-step guidance on how to set up Timesheet alerts, visit Configuring Timesheet Alerts on Humanforce Help.
Roster Manager
Management > Rostering > Roster Manager
More space for more shifts
Based on customer feedback, the Roster Manager grid layout has been optimised to accommodate more shifts. While your screen real estate depends on your device, it now shows 8 days (on a browser at 100% zoom, on a 16” laptop, with the main menu minimised).
Still need more shifts visible? Try reducing your browser zoom setting (using Ctrl and minus key). At 80% zoom, a 16” laptop will now show 10 days in the Roster Manager grid.
Default start times of Unpaid Breaks set according to Award Profile
When adding shifts for an employee, the system now sets the Unpaid Break Start Time to the latest possible time (allowed by the Break Schedule configured in the relevant Award Profile). This ensures breaks are added consistently and in compliance with award rules.
There is no change to the break duration, only to when the break starts. Previously, breaks were placed mid-shift; now they are scheduled as late as possible (based on the schedule) while remaining compliant.
One exception to note: if you edit a shift and choose “Yes” when prompted to update break minutes for compliance, the existing break time will remain unchanged if it’s within shift hours and already meets Break Schedule requirements. This prevents overwriting intentional break placements made by managers or shift definitions.
Shift Offers have “Offered” status in Roster Manager shift tiles
Bid Manager provides the option to offer a shift to a bidder. These shifts were appearing in Roster Manager with the status of "Confirmation Requested" which was not accurate - as they've actually been offered (to a single employee). As such, we've updated the shift tile to ensure the "Offered" status is now reflected in Roster Manager.
With filters applied, People view shows all employees, including those without shifts
The People View has been enhanced to include the display of all employees with the assigned Location, Department or Role when applying filters - even if they have no shift. Previously, when filters were applied, any employees without shifts became hidden.
We understand this change is important for rostering managers to review shift allocation across their entire team, and provides a more consistent experience for users transitioning from the older Employee Rostering screen.
Alerts Service
We've improved the Humanforce Alerts service to allow notifications to be triggered for shifts marked as Request Confirmation when you have an alert configured for shifts that are unconfirmed. This was a logical change because a shift waiting for confirmation should be considered the same as unconfirmed.
Template Manager
Management > Rostering > Template Manager
The Roster Minimum Period Hours and Roster Maximum Period Hours alerts have an option to exclude non-attended roles from their scope, visible in the configuration within Clock-In Settings. Template Manager has been updated to now correctly respect this setting when calculating roster alerts for employees.
This ensures any non-attended role shifts (such as sleepover shifts where the min/max hour alerts should not be considering “non-worked” hours) will be properly excluded in the worked hours scope for these alerts.
Payslip imports
Management > Advanced > Payslip Import
We’ve resolved an issue where large payslip PDF imports (e.g., ~5000 pages) caused duplicate payslip records to appear on the Payslip Delete page shortly after import completion. The import process now correctly handles high-page-count files, ensuring each payslip is imported only once regardless of file size or timeout conditions.
Onboarding (Australia only)
Humanforce Legacy App
Superannuation selection now part of the onboarding flow
We’ve streamlined the WFM onboarding experience by embedding superannuation selection directly into the workflow. New employees can now choose their preferred superannuation fund during onboarding through our integration with SuperAPI, eliminating the need for separate forms or manual data entry.
Integration Central
Management > Advanced > Integration Central
Import Employee Contacts to WFM via new file import capability
Customers are now able to import Employee Contacts to WFM using this latest file import added to Integration Central. Along with the capability, it also delivers improved error handling and user experience. This file import replaces the legacy contacts file import supported in WFM BackOffice version.
