We regularly update MyHR's software to make sure your people processes are streamlined and your organisation is up-to-date with industry best-practice and current employment law.

Here's an overview of the latest MyHR product enhancements and new features we've added recently.

We’re celebrating MyHR joining the Xero App Marketplace!

Similar to the Apple and Google Play stores, the Xero App Marketplace is where people can find and connect awesome, Xero-endorsed apps to their business that integrate with Xero to improve business efficiency and provide great benefits.

This is a huge win for MyHR, linking together with one of the global leaders in accounting and payroll software with our smart HR software and HR advisory support. We’re pretty excited!

MyHR’s app on the Xero marketplace allows new customers to easily sign up for a trial and get their integration between MyHR and Xero underway straight away, which unlocks the power of MyHR’s leave feature.

Easy leave management in MyHR

With MyHR’s world-class leave management feature, you can schedule and manage employee time-off simply and accurately, keep track of approvals, review leave in a shared calendar, and fully integrate with your chosen payroll service, such as Xero, PayHero, and iPayroll.

Employee passed their probation period? Let them know!

23-212 - MyHR - Product Update August - Probation Pass

We wanted to make it easy for you to reward your employees and celebrate the successful end of a probation period with a new probation pass letter, which you can generate and present to your new permanent employee; to complete the formalities or just to congratulate them!

You can also request that they accept the document so you’re both on the same page.

Keep track of employee onboarding

23-212 - MyHR - Product Update August - Onboarding Summary 

Onboarding reports make tracking what onboarding tasks are and aren’t completed much easier for employers, such as tracking a set of health and safety tasks before a site visit.

The Onboarding module in MyHR comes with two reports that summarise onboarding plans and tasks, and sections are an important grouping structure in onboarding plans to help employers keep up to date with how the onboarding plan is progressing. So, What’s changed?

The "Onboarding Summary" report now includes the columns "Completed Sections" and "Incomplete Sections" and the "Onboarding Task Summary" report now includes the "Section Name" column to make it easier for employers to see onboarding progress at a glance.

Access to MyHR for new starters

Account login status details have been added to the All People Detail report, which helps managers find new employees who haven't yet got access to MyHR to sign their employment agreement.

23-212 - MyHR - Product Update August - Login Status Detail

To make life easier for our customers, we’ve added three new values into the All People Detail report so customers can see if their people have been invited to MyHR yet, when they were invited, and if they've accepted their invite and logged in.

Complying with privacy laws

We now have given customers the ability to delete people who have been inactive in their system for at least 7 years.  

Why do you need to do this?

As an employer you collect personal information for the purpose of employment, and according to employment legislation, you need to keep employment records for 7 years post employment. After 7 years, employment records need to be deleted to avoid any privacy risk.

The MyHR team will reach out when a record has been inactive for 7 years, but as the employer it’s your responsibility to decide if the inactive record can be deleted, and to delete it. If you don’t delete the inactive record, the privacy risk sits with you. 

Now, MyHR account owner and manager users (with the relevant permission and department access) can delete these records without needing someone from MyHR to do it.

But beware; when you delete the person, that’s it! Their record is 100% deleted and we can’t recover it.
