Managing your team shouldn’t be your second full time job
From hiring people to staying compliant, the challenges can pile up quickly. Let’s make managing your small business simpler, so you can reclaim your time, and your passion for what you do.
Any of these sound familiar? Here’s how Employment Hero helps.
PAIN POINT #1
Employee admin is eating up your time
When you’re running a small business, every hour counts. But between payroll, compliance and managing employee records, admin tasks can quickly take over your day. Staying on top of awards and legislation is critical, but it’s also exhausting when you’re wearing so many hats.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero puts enterprise-grade HR infrastructure within reach of any business. Payroll, leave, onboarding and compliance, all in one place.
PAIN POINT #2
One compliance mistake can cost more than a year of software
Casual conversion, modern award interpretation, superannuation obligations. The rules are complex, they change regularly and the penalties for getting them wrong are real. Most small businesses find out they’ve made a mistake only when it’s already expensive.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero monitors Fair Work updates automatically and flags compliance risks before they become claims, giving you a way to stay on the right side of the rules.
PAIN POINT #3
Attracting and retaining talent is harder than ever
In a competitive market, small businesses often struggle to compete with larger companies offering bigger salaries and benefits. Finding the right people, and keeping them, can feel like an uphill battle when resources are tight.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero helps you stand out with affordable employee benefits, streamlined onboarding and tools to keep your team engaged and motivated.

Save 42% of time on HR admin.

Here’s how one small business owner reclaimed their valuable time for innovation.
Pitcrew AI
Consulting Services: Industrial Automation | 20+ employees | Carrington, NSW
THE CHALLENGE
Before Employment Hero, Pitcrew AI was managing HR with a basic system that lacked recruitment functionality and didn’t engage employees. As the company grew from a small team of 12 to over 20 employees, Head of Product and People, Dan Farthing, realised their HR processes couldn’t keep up. Hiring for niche technical roles was becoming a challenge, and compliance was critical as they scaled. Dan knew they needed a smarter, more scalable solution to support their growth.
“From an executive perspective, Employment Hero significantly cuts down admin work. I can manage hiring up to the contract stage, and leadership only needs to sign off – it never gets stuck waiting for someone.”
— Dan Farthing, Head of Product and People, Pitcrew AI
OUTCOMES
Streamlined Recruitment
Paperless Onboarding
Improved Compliance
Get started in three simple steps
You don’t need a three-month implementation process. Most small businesses are up and running within a week.
Set up in a day
Add your business details, upload your existing employee records and connect your accounting software. Our onboarding team walks you through it, you’re not doing this alone.
Bring your team across
Invite your employees to complete their own profiles via the app. They update their personal details, bank account and tax information directly. No admin required on your end.
Test, then let it run
Before going live, your first processes are reviewed to ensure they align with award settings and compliance requirements. From there, everything runs smoothly, faster, more accurate and effortlessly managed.
Employment Hero works alongside the tools your business already runs on
Xero
Payroll figures sync to Xero automatically after every pay run, no double entry, no manual reconciliation at month end.
MYOB
If you’re already on MYOB, Employment Hero connects directly, keeping your accounts and payroll aligned without extra work.
Deputy
Build your roster in Deputy and have approved hours flow straight into Employment Hero payroll, no re-keying, no errors.
Square
For businesses taking payments through Square, employee hours and sales data connect with your HR records in one place.
