Written by the company

Employment Hero is an AI Employment Operating System (OS) that unifies recruitment, HR, payroll and benefits into one automated infrastructure for SMEs and growing organisations. Built to remove everyday employment friction, the company provides a global solution for over 350,000 businesses and 2 million users to manage their workforce across industries like tech, healthcare and retail. Employment Hero moves beyond traditional HRIS by using AI to enhance manual workflows into a hands-off operation. The platform functions as a system of action rather than just a system of record, where AI handles the heavy lifting of the employment lifecycle. Instead of simply presenting a to-do list, the OS triggers the next move; whether that is shortlisting a candidate, updating a compliance policy or running a complex pay cycle. It is designed for businesses that want their employment tasks handled autonomously, rather than just having another software tool to manage. AI-Led recruitment: Moves candidates through the funnel automatically, from job posting to offer, using an AI Recruitment Agent to screen and rank talent 24/7. Automated payroll engine: Orchestrates complex calculations, tax compliance and reporting across different jurisdictions without the need for manual data entry. Unified HR & compliance: Acts as a single source of truth for contracts and policies, featuring built-in triggers that automate onboarding, time-tracking and performance reviews. Employee superapp: A mobile-first hub where teams access payslips and manage leave while tapping into a suite of wellness perks and financial benefits. Integrated Learning Management System (LMS): Enables tailored training pathways and performance reviews to foster professional development without manual coordination. Proactive people ops: Uses built-in AI to answer routine HR questions instantly and surface items needing attention before they become administrative bottlenecks. The primary value of the platform enables companies move faster by reducing operational drag across the employment lifecycle.. It solves the problem of fragmented tools and repetitive manual work by providing a single, intelligent thread that connects every part of the employee experience. By automating the routine, Employment Hero allows leadership teams to stop chasing paperwork and start focusing on the strategic growth of their people and culture. Languages supported: English and French.

The portal is extremely user-friendly…

The portal is extremely user-friendly and has been invaluable in helping us transition our annual leave approval process from paper-based forms to a fully digital system. I particularly appreciate the reporting functionality and the ability to create customised reports tailored to our needs.

Responsive & Helpful Customer Service

Responsive & Helpful Customer Service
Staff are really helpful & quickly responsive, you could request an agent help if the Employment Hero AI couldn't give you the expected outcome.
So, when you request the agent interfere, they do respond quickly & aim to give you the assistance as fast as possible.

Employment Hero has genuinely simplified HR

Employment Hero has genuinely simplified HR at Trampoline NH. Recruitment through to onboarding feels seamless, no clunky handoffs or duplicated admin like we've had with other systems.

The app for clocking in and out is a particular highlight. It's simple and intuitive, staff picked it up straight away with zero training needed.

Would happily recommend it to any organisation looking to cut admin friction without losing functionality.

Employment Hero - Fantastic

I have found Employment Hero really intuitive and easy to use as a System Admin. They release regular updates, and their new Doc Studio is fantastic. It saves us a lot of time with templates and bulk issuing documents. The customer support has also been great, as well as the built-in Hero AI. Highly recommend.

A Strong Integrated HR & Payroll Solution That Continues to Improve Our Payroll Processes

Since implementing Employment Hero HR and Employment Hero Payroll at Quo Vadis Trust (QVT), we have seen significant improvements in the way we manage our people and payroll processes.

Previously, we used IRIS Payroll, where many payroll activities were completed manually. This included entering new starter and leaver information, calculating overtime, additional hours for contracted employees, relief worker hours, payroll additions and deductions, statutory payments, and other payroll adjustments. These manual processes were time-consuming and increased the risk of errors.

After moving to Employment Hero Payroll and integrating it with the Employment Hero HR platform, many of these processes have become automated. Employee information entered in the HR platform is mirrored directly into Payroll, eliminating duplicate data entry for starters, leavers, and employee changes. This has saved considerable administrative time and improved data accuracy.

Some of the key benefits we have experienced include:

Seamless integration between the HR and Payroll platforms, reducing duplicate work.
Automatic transfer of employee details from HR to Payroll.
Accurate calculation of statutory sick pay and leave-related payments.
Simplified payroll processing with fewer manual interventions.
Improved compliance with HMRC and pension processing, helping us submit payments on time.
A single platform for managing employee records and payroll information.
Better audit trails and visibility of payroll changes.
Reduced administrative workload compared with our previous payroll system.

While we have already realised many benefits, we recognise that we are still only using a portion of the platform's capabilities. Some payroll calculations and adjustments are still completed manually because we are gradually introducing business rules and refining our payroll processes.

Going forward, we plan to make greater use of Employment Hero's automation features, workflows, reporting capabilities, and integrations. We are currently working towards integrating Sage Intacct with Employment Hero to automate payroll journals, which we expect will further improve efficiency, accuracy, and financial reporting.

Overall, our experience has been positive. Employment Hero has provided us with a modern, integrated HR and payroll solution that has reduced manual effort, improved accuracy, and laid the foundation for further automation as our organisation continues to optimise its processes.

The system is good .....but every thing else is pretty poor!

The system is good, unfortunately there support in the back ground for the system is very slow and can take a few days for any action before it is resolved with their system. The accounts department absolutely no help at all, we had an issue and didn't hear back from them for nearly 7 days and not to mention they are in different country so you are working on there time zone, which is pretty bad for Employment Hero Customers, that are in a different country to Australia.
