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.

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.

Reply from Employment Hero

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.

Simple and effective!

Employment Hero is a simple and effective way to manage staff, annual leave, assets, contracts, policies and much more all in one platform. It makes HR and payroll so much easier and more secure. It's also super easy to scale up as your business grows.

Not the best

Very hard to get help from a human. Businesses can change quickly and admins can come and go and getting help to train a new user is very hard

Employment Hero has combined a number…

Employment Hero has combined a number of previous legacy programs into one integrated and easy to use platform. It is intuitive and has greatly improved on our employee management capabilities but also for performance tracking and recruitment.

10/10 easy to use, you won't regret it!

We have been using employment hero for a few years now and their ongoing development features assist us greatly.

We also use payroll and have never had an issue.

Would highly recommend if you are looking for an easy to use, seamless, end to end hr solution! Your team will also love it!

Great One stop shop!

We have been able to make work arounds if we run into any issues that don't align with what we need. The way EH is constantly evolving is a big green tick.

Ease of employees booking leave

The Employment Hero app and platform is easy to use as a employer and employee. Its so easy and quick to use for my team to book leave, they can see if it clashes with anyone and i can approve leave from anywhere as the app is great. It shows up to date balances of leave which is very handy.
