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.

Payroll & HR made easy!

Employment Hero’s HR and Payroll modules have proven to be an efficient and reliable system for our Club. The platform incorporates the relevant and up-to-date Awards we operate under, while also providing practical HR templates that are extremely useful for employment contracts, pay reviews and internal policies. The seamless integration between the HR and Payroll modules ensures a consistent and streamlined workflow. As a result, our payroll processing time has been significantly reduced from 3–4 hours to approximately 45 minutes, delivering both time savings and improved accuracy.

Constantly evolving!

Employment Hero is a super user-friendly platform, and it's always evolving in response to feedback - which, while it has its pain points in day-to-day use, is actually really exciting and you get a great surprise when you come across a new update that makes things work better!

The customer support has also improved which is a major plus!! You get to speak to a person quicker now. The AI chat is helpful too, and a great starting point!

Hi Colette,

I love that framing, and honestly that's exactly the feeling we're going for!

You've put it really well. Knowing that the changes we're shipping are actually landing and making things better is what keeps the whole team going.

Really glad the support experience has improved too - getting to a real person faster has been something we've put genuine effort into, so it's brilliant to hear that's coming through. And great to know the AI chat is a helpful first step as well!

Thanks for sticking with us through the evolving bits. It genuinely means a lot.

All the best,
Zara @ Employment Hero

Easy production of contracts…

The system makes producing contracts incredibly easy, and payroll is quick and efficient to process. We also really value having a central place for policies and procedures, where staff can easily access and acknowledge them.

Employment Hero has great range of teh modules that allows this HRIS to be a one stop-shop solution for small and medium size organisations. It acquired a great range of the learnign and training material (video and audio courses and library) which could be accessed by staff 24/7 remotely. This allows staff being trained and upskilled for their job, whereas it helps organisaiton to stay compliant with the industry standards.

Easy to use and very supportive platform

Our experience with Employment Hero has been very positive. The platform is user-friendly, easy to navigate, and has helped streamline a number of our HR processes. It has made tasks such as performance management, policy acknowledgements, and team member record keeping much more efficient. The system continues to evolve, and overall it has been a helpful tool for our business.

For Date of experience, just add the date that best reflects when you were actively using or reviewing the platform.

EH is always adaptive

Employment Hero always strives to improve the platform. We always discover new features. Recently, we have been using the rostering tool for our departments, which helps us manage timesheets and overtime, which ultimately results in efficient cost management.

Along with this, when payday super is coming to effect. I am 100% certain that EH will be ready for this and will have enough resources for platform users.

Thanks EH Team!

Normally we receive a great service until its critical like today

Normally we receive a great service. Today we had a critical payroll issue. Its end of year, HMRC reporting etc. Ticket raised an no response. Bot has raised further tickets. There is no email address to contact in a critical payroll situation. Very disappointing.

Hi Lyn,

I am so sorry we left you feeling unsupported. We know that when it comes to payroll and HMRC reporting, you need to know we’ve got your back right then and there.

We missed a beat in our communication yesterday, which we're truly sorry for. Our team received your message and were working hard on the issue, which has now been resolved.

One of our consultants reached out earlier today and left a voicemail to help you get everything squared away. Please look out for our follow-up so we can jump on a call and make sure everything is sorted.

All the best,
Zara @ Employment Hero

Sold a self-guided implementation that can't be self-guided

The support staff are lovely, that's the only positive. Everything else has been a disaster. Now they have moved to a chat-only support model, which creates a fundamental problem: the chat clears when the page refreshes while you're working in the platform. Having to stop work to keep a support chat alive isn't practical. When I emailed to flag this, I got an auto-reply telling me to use the chat. That is precisely the issue I was writing about, I have no way to report a problem with the chat except through the chat itself.

Beyond that: broken links, failed template uploads, empty interactive demos, help articles that don't match what's actually on screen, resources referencing plan tiers that don't map to what I actually pay for, and an AI bot that gives conflicting information and throws "unable to load image" on every single response.

I signed up for software that would give me more time. It's created more problems than I started with. We're a 56-person team locked into a 12-month contract with no working complaints channel except the chatbot, ironic, given that Employment Hero publishes grievance policy templates for other businesses.
