MYOB Acumatica — Workforce Management 24.10, October 2024

The 24.10 update includes a change to casual work hours aimed at New Zealand employers with employees who have no fixed hours, a further improvement to managing multi-factor authentication and a number of fixes.

We’ve also launched our early access programme for our agreement library, which makes it easier for Australian businesses to comply with Fair Work modern awards. We’ll have more information available as we move towards release.

What's new?

Work pattern improvements for casual employees in New Zealand

To make it easier to manage true casual employment agreements in New Zealand, we’ve removed the requirement to include specified work hours in these cases.

To set this up, select Casual for the Employment type, Work hours for the Hours type, and then leave the Hours per day and Days per week fields blank. These fields were previously mandatory.

Fair Work awards library — early access program

To make it easier for our Australian sites to manage Fair Work modern awards, we’re excited to introduce our awards library to a limited number of MYOB Acumatica — Workforce Management sites, through our partner network.

For more information, see Managing Fair Work modern awards with MYOB Acumatica — Agreements Library (early access). If you are participating in the early access program, your partner will be in touch to help get you set up.

Users can now reset their own multi-factor authentication method

When your employees change phones or want to switch MFA methods, you no longer have to go in and reser their MFA for them. They can now go to the Settings tab of their employee profile and click Reset MFA. The next time they log in they’ll be prompted to set up their authentication method again.

This doesn’t help when they lose access to their account — they’ll still need to do a password reset as usual.

Legacy onboarding documents available from the employee profile

With the recent updates to our document management features, some older onboarding documents weren’t showing up on the Documents and Notes screen in employees' profiles.

These are now available along with their other documents.
