Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for eFinancePlus Core

We’ve enhanced account security in eFinancePlus by introducing standalone Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). This added layer of protection requires users to verify their identity using a one-time code sent to their email, in addition to their password. With this enhancement, eFinancePlus helps districts reduce the risk of unauthorized access and better protect sensitive financial and employee data.

Why This Matters

Passwords alone are no longer enough to prevent modern security threats. MFA adds an extra verification step that:

• Protects against compromised passwords and phishing attacks

• Strengthens access security for sensitive system functions

• Supports compliance with state-mandated security standards, including:

  • Arkansas Act 846

  • New York Education Law 2-d

Prerequisites

To use Multi-Factor Authentication, users must have a valid email address that will be used to deliver the one-time verification code required during sign-in.

Additional Information

Multi-Factor Authentication can be enabled independently or used alongside Single Sign-On (SSO). This flexibility allows districts to choose the right security approach for different areas of the system, including:

• eFinancePlus Core

• Employee Access Center (EAC) (MFA will be done in upcoming releases)

• Vendor Punchout (MFA will be done in upcoming releases)

• Employee Timesheets (MFA will be done in upcoming releases)

Districts can mix and match MFA and SSO based on their security policies and user needs.

Import Tool: Improved License Import Handling for Multiple License Records

Previously, when importing licenses for an employee, only the first license record in the import file was successfully loaded. If multiple license rows existed for the same employee, the system processed only the first row and ignored the remaining ones. This occurred because the import logic grouped records primarily by Employee Number, causing additional license entries (with different license types, issue dates, expiration dates, license numbers, state values) to be skipped unintentionally.

What Has Been Fixed

The license import process has been enhanced to correctly support multiple licenses per employee. The system now:

• Evaluates each license row independently using all relevant license fields (such as Type, Issued Date, Expiration Date, License Number, and State).

• Allows certain license fields to be optional, enabling valid records to import even if some non-mandatory fields are missing.

• Skips inserting a license only when all fields exactly match an existing license already on file (reported as “Record already on file” in the import summary).

• Inserts a new license record when any field value differs, ensuring distinct licenses are properly captured.

You can now import multiple licenses for the same employee within a single file. Each unique license entry will be correctly added to the employee’s record unless it is an exact duplicate of an existing license.

Pay Run Processing to look at new FLSA OT option of M - Manual FLSA OT

Human Resources > Reference Tables > Payroll > Pay Codes - FLSA Overtime field

• The M - Manual FLSA OT option will be available.

Human Resources > Entry & Processing > Payroll > Pay Run Processing - Edit Employee Time

• The system will look for the FLSA Overtime option of M (like it does for Y) and flag the timecard accordingly. If a timecard is entered for manual FLSA OT, then it does not create a system-generated FLSA overtime for that employee in that FLSA cycle.
