How does Humanforce handle complex rotating shift patterns?

Build and manage 24/7 rotating patterns including continental, Dupont, and custom rotations. Automated shift generation with built-in fatigue management rules.

Can you track forklift licenses and machinery tickets?

Track all WHS credentials including forklift licenses, machinery tickets, confined space, and working at heights. Expired licenses automatically block scheduling for regulated equipment.

How do we manage permanent and agency workers together?

Unified scheduling for permanent staff and labour hire with separate cost tracking. Consolidated compliance reporting across your entire workforce regardless of employment type.

How do we align staffing with production schedules?

Match staffing to production demands and track labour costs per production line and shift. Integrate with production planning to optimise workforce allocation.

Does Humanforce support the Manufacturing Award?

Pre-configured with the Manufacturing and Associated Industries and Occupations Award including shift loadings, allowances, and all classification levels.

How do you ensure all workers complete safety inductions?

Track site-specific WHS inductions, toolbox talks, and safety training for every worker. Block untrained staff from accessing work areas until inductions are complete.

Industry reality

Challenges facing manufacturing

Shifts, tickets and overtime need one employee journey, not disconnected clocks, a ticket folder and a payroll export.

Station by station

Shift patterns have to hold on the line

Rotas have to cover production patterns without losing who is qualified to work the station, including nights and changeovers.

Reminders

Plant tickets that expire

Store plant tickets and training with expiry reminders. Rotas can refuse expired qualifications. Humanforce does not independently verify them.

Pay-conditions engine

Overtime and rest have to be visible

A pay-conditions engine outside Australia can support shift penalties, overtime and midnight-shift rules. This is not Australian award interpretation.

Via Brain

Time that has to reach payroll

Kiosk and Work App attendance should reach Payroll via Brain on the same journey as Workforce Management.
