Summary¶
The Hire2Retire Phase 4.5 release adds new features and significant enhancements to the product based on market needs and customer feedback.
Hire2Retire now has a “future hire and future termination” feature. Hire2Retire will determine future events by checking the start date and the last day of work, store them in the RoboMQ future event database, and employees will be hired or terminated on the execution day. Users will not need to manage future employee profiles manually.
In addition, Hire2Retire now supports Paylocity as a compatible HR system. Users can now integrate Paylocity and AD (Active Directory) or Entra ID systems to handle lifecycles. SuccessFactors with API approach is also available as a backend service, andthe user interface will be available later.
In addition to the above, there are other minor improvements to existing capabilities and/or bug fixes listed below.
Support Future Hire and Termination¶
This is a new feature in the Hire2Retire Platform.
The “future hire and future termination” feature is now available on the Hire2Retire Platform. When using this feature, the Hire2Retire workflow will only process employees on the designated start date and/or last day of work. Users can also set up an offset to process employees a few days before the start date or after the last day of work. By calculating the start day and last day of work, the Hire2Retire flow will determine if the incoming employee event is a future event or not. Future events will be stored and processed when the execution date arrives.
Support Paylocity as a new HR system¶
This this a new feature in the Hire2Retire Platform.
The Hire2Retire platform now supports Paylocity as a compatible HR system. At runtime, Paylocity will send file extracts to the RoboMQ-hosted SFTP server, and the Hire2Retire flow will process employee profiles based on the pre-defined rules set on the Hire2Retire platform.
Support SuccessFactors with API connection type (Backend)¶
This is a new feature in the Hire2Retire Platform.
Hire2Retire now supports an API connection approach for SuccessFactors. With an API connection you will be able to define the polling interval and employee attributes needed for Active Directory profile mapping. Both full load and delta load options are available.
Support default password length to 18 characters¶
This is a feature enhancement in the Hire2Retire Platform.
Hire2Retire now supports an employee onboarding initial password with a maximum length of 18 characters. You can choose the password length that best fits your business use case.
There is no impact on users’ existing flow functions.
Support collapsed view for group mappings on overview page.¶
This is a feature enhancement in the Hire2Retire Platform.
Hire2Retire now has a collapsed view for group mappings on the overview page. Instead of a long list of group mappings, the initial view will only display a small number of mapping rules. Users can then choose to either see more or see less groups.
