AI-Powered Payroll software for Australian businesses
Payroll compliance you can count on
Australian payroll compliance is complex, but our software takes the guesswork out of it. We’re an ATO-recognised platform that handles STP Phase 2 reporting, SuperStream compliance, and automatically applies the latest PAYG and superannuation rates. We even handle changes to modern awards and penalty rates for you.
Embedded Payroll Agent
Hero AI integrates directly into your payroll workflows, executing a three-tier validation sweep from entry to approval. It stops errors at the source by guiding employees through policy checks, equips managers with instant breach alerts during approval, and monitors payroll readiness to resolve blockers before payday even arrives.
Payroll in one easy-to-use platform
Tired of using multiple platforms to manage your team? Our payroll seamlessly integrates with HR management, time & attendance, recruitment, and employee experience in one easy-to-use platform.
Everything from timesheets, leave requests, payslips, to employee contracts and performance reviews is connected, so you have a single source of truth for all your employee data.
More time, less admin with employee self-service
Empower your team and win back your time. Through the Employment Hero Work App, employees can securely access their payslips, manage personal details, and apply for leave directly from their phone. That means fewer emails in your inbox and more time in your day.

Leave accruals and requests update in seconds, eliminating double data entry and mistakes. Track timesheets and leave requests in real time, giving your team full visibility and freeing HR from tedious admin.

“Bringing on Employment Hero has been a godsend for us. It allows us to have a fully automated, self-service portal for everything… It means that the management team has more time to be able to focus on the people rather than the process.”
Ryan Kiddle, General Manager
“Many systems specialise in one area and add components, but Employment Hero was built to be the full package from the beginning. It means that we can spend more time doing the stuff that really adds value for our team.”
Heather Campbell, General Manager of HR
“We weren’t getting the calibre of people on traditional job boards, but the candidate we found through Employment Hero was what we were looking for and is now working at the centre.”
Ash-lee Kingsberry, Talent Acquisition
“I now look forward to onboarding people; it’s so easy and so seamless. We’ve even had new hires tell us how easy it was from their perspective too – which is a great first impression of their new job.”
