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 our latest MyHR product enhancements and new features we've added recently.
MyHR and Xero Payroll integration is here!
This month we’re shouting about our shiny new MyHR and Xero Payroll integration! There are lots of benefits to an integrated payroll and leave management system, like reducing manual processing of leave and payroll data and paperwork, increasing transparency, and making both processes quicker, more accurate, and cost-effective.
We designed this Xero and MyHR integration with 2 time and admin-saving goals in mind:
- To cut down on duplicate data entry when new employees join your business and when employees apply for leave in MyHR.
- To provide employees and managers with the information and tools they need to request and approve leave without needing to log in to your payroll system separately.
How it works
For new employees
New employee records are automatically created in Xero Payroll when a new employee e-signs their first employment contract in MyHR, or a signed copy of their employment contract is manually uploaded to MyHR.
For existing employees
For existing employees, the integration process will require the link between both MyHR and Xero NZ Payroll to be established manually.
MyHR’s amazing support team can help you with the integration process if you’re having trouble.
Approving leave made easier
Once an employee is linked between MyHR and Xero NZ Payroll, you and your employee will be able to see their up-to-date leave balances directly in MyHR, and any leave you approve will automatically be sent to Xero. Easy!

Not a Xero customer? No problem!
MyHR fully integrates with other payroll software providers, such as PayHero and iPayroll, for a seamless experience between payroll, people, and processes.
Keep track of employee onboarding
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.
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 risks.
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.
