How do Employers authorise Flare to contact employees?

Question

I recently started work with a company in the accounts/admin area and received contact on the day I started from Flare requesting all sorts of information which I had already provided to my Employer.

when I later asked the Director in charge of HR  about the association with Flare, she said there was no association and my employment with them would not have triggered communication between me and Flare.

Subsequently, when I setup a new employee on MYOB (I am performing bookkeeping and payroll function for the business) MYOB prompted me to involve Flare which I elected not to do.

Has the company unwittingly involved itself with Flare? Can this be reverted within MYOB. I am looking for guidance so that I can provide information for my employer who seems to be unaware of what has occurred. Simultaneously I have asked Flare to delete all personal information they have picked up from whatever occurred when my employee record was created. What is the true situation regarding the relationship between MYOB, Flare and employers.

Hi @Nic-MYOB_user,

MYOB recently acquired Flare to integrate its services into the MYOB ecosystem, which helps enhance digital employee onboarding and benefits management. Flare still operates independently and offers specific solutions like novated car leasing and other financial perks. For more details, check out this link.

When setting up employees in MYOB, there's an option to involve Flare for enhanced onboarding and benefits. If you decide to opt into Flare's services, MYOB will share the employee's name and email address with them. Ideally, if you choose not to opt in, Flare shouldn't collect any additional details after the initial prompt. You can check out this post to have more details about flare.

You've taken the right step by asking Flare to delete your information. If needed you can directly reach out to Flare support site.

Cheers,
