Week 44 2024 | Release notes

Here are the latest product releases and updates (categorised by product family) for Employment Hero for the week of the 28th of October to the 31st of October.


Workplace Compliance

Initiative: Employee Profile Vision

  • Description: We are excited to announce that the Employee Profile Vision update is now live. This upgrade introduces a more intuitive interface and a tooltip feature located next to the header's search bar. The tooltip aids new users, specifically Admins, Owners, and Managers, in easily locating and utilising search navigation when viewing an employee file for the first time. This addition aims to enhance the overall discoverability of important features and streamline navigation within the employee profile, making the user experience more engaging and accessible.
  • Release Date: October 29, 2024
  • Target Users: New customers across all regions and plans who joined on or after October 20, 2024

 



Talent Management

Initiative: Feedback Requests in 360 Review Module

  • Description: This update enables Admins to grant employees the ability to initiate feedback requests directly within the 360 Review module, eliminating the need to route requests through Admins or Owners. Admins can enable this feature by adjusting permissions in Custom Security Settings, under Other Permissions, within the 360 Review section. Once activated, employees can see which colleagues have contributed feedback, and Admins gain visibility into these interactions as well. By removing this administrative bottleneck, we anticipate a more streamlined feedback process that promotes timely and actionable insights for employees.
  • Release Date: October 31, 2024
  • Target Users: Classic Platinum, Next Gen Unlimited



Integrations

Initiative: Sync Automation of UK Pension Settings

  • Description: Previously, users had to manually sync Pension Settings data from Payroll to HR by clicking 'Update From Payroll' each time a change was made. This release automates that process, enabling real-time updates for any Create/Update/Delete actions made within Payroll to automatically reflect in HR. This improvement is designed to enhance user experience by reducing the likelihood of data inconsistencies and minimising support tickets. To accommodate any unusual cases, we retained the 'Update From Payroll' button as a backup on the Update Data page, though this will be phased out with further automation.
  • Release Date: October 28, 2024
  • Target Users: All HR – EH Payroll connected customers in the UK, including AutoPay UK organisations



Super Services

Initiative: Enable ESS + SCMP for AU Payroll Direct and Partners

  • Description: With this release, SCMP is now activated for all AU Payroll Direct users and partners, with specific exceptions, while ESS is available to all AU businesses. By enabling ESS and SCMP, we anticipate a marked increase in onboarding efficiency and revenue generation, especially as more users complete their onboarding within the payroll system. However, if a Payroll Direct user is integrated with EH HR, ESS will remain disabled, encouraging users to follow HR onboarding. This adjustment aims to enhance user experience while driving ESS utilisation from its current 16% to an anticipated 50%, potentially increasing AU Payroll ESS ARR by $1.4M.
  • Release Date: October 30, 2024
  • Target Users: AU Payroll Direct and Partners (excluding QBO, ELMO, ROUBLER, and EPG)



Performance Management

Initiative: Performance Reviews Allocation by Location and Employing Entities

  • Description: Organisations often require flexibility when allocating performance reviews, and this release responds to that need. Now, Admins can specify additional fields, such as location and employing entity, when creating or editing review periods. This update provides greater customisation and aligns review processes more closely with organisational structures, ensuring that reviews are assigned efficiently and meaningfully across distributed teams.
  • Release Date: October 28, 2024
  • Target Users: Global, Employment Plus and Unlimited, Classic Premium, and Platinum
