It’s automated HR & Payroll software. But smarter
Experience the relief of a truly unified “single source of truth” that handles everything from AI-powered recruitment to seamless payroll in one intuitive Aussie platform.
Our founder is an Australian employment lawyer, which means compliance isn’t just an added feature. It is the very foundation of everything we build.
We built a true all-in-one system where HR and payroll actually live in the same house.
We’ve simply refined the details to be a little bit better at everything, from support that answers faster to a mascot that’s objectively cuter.
“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.”
Dan Farthing, Head of Product and People

Manage the entire employee lifecycle
A single, integrated platform that supports your team from recruitment through to retirement. We cover every milestone, including seamless onboarding, performance reviews, and final offboarding, ensuring a consistent experience for every staff member.

Local Expertise & Support
Consider us as an Australian-based partner that understands the nuances of our local market and operates in your timezone. Having local support ensures you aren’t left waiting for international help desks when urgent payroll or HR issues arise.
Improve Compliance
Australian employment law is complex, so your platform must proactively improve compliance through automated Award interpretation and STP Phase 2 reporting. Unlike global “one-size-fits-all” software, a local solution mitigates the risk of underpayments and Fair Work penalties.
User-First Scalability
A platform is only effective if your team actually uses it, so look for an intuitive mobile interface that staff can master instantly. Ensure the software can scale from a small team to a large enterprise without requiring a messy data migration or complex workarounds.
