Hassle

A notice was circulated via email yesterday by UCLA Campus HR that appears to be a potential hassle for some folks (and raises concerns about an outside firm handling UC personnel data). Moreover, the notice was given yesterday to take effect today:

Sent: Monday, September 30, 2024 9:31 AM

Subject: Family Member Eligibility Verification – Multi-Factor Authentication to be Enabled on UnifyHR Portal as of 10-01-2024

Dear Colleagues:

Please distribute this notice to Staff and Faculty in your organization.

Re: Family Member Eligibility Verification – Multi-Factor Authentication to be Enabled on UnifyHR Portal as of 10-01-2024 

On Tuesday, October 1, 2024, UnifyHR will enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for employees and retirees logging into their portal to complete Family Member Eligibility Verification (FMEV). MFA adds an extra layer of security by verifying a user’s identity before access is granted. Below are the steps that will be required for new and existing users:

New Users:  After setting up their account, new users will be asked to authenticate. A code will be sent to their email address, and they will need to enter their username, password, and 8-digit code to log into the portal.

Existing Users:  Upon logging in, existing users will be asked to authenticate. A code will be sent to their email address on file, and they will need to enter their username, password, and 8-digit code to log into the portal.

Employees and retirees who experience issues logging in may contact UnifyHR for assistance at 1-844-718-3970.
