Stop running your law firm operations manually
What’s slowing you down
Manual admin across scattered systems and spreadsheets.
Practice managers holding together hiring, onboarding, payroll, leave and policies through memory, inboxes and spreadsheets.
New lawyers, paralegals and support staff left waiting on contracts, approvals and onboarding, instead of getting the support they need to start strong.
Manually screening, reviewing and following up with candidates throughout the hiring process.
Manually tracking employment obligations across spreadsheets and inboxes, with HR and payroll data split across separate systems.
Practice managers and partners stuck in HR and payroll admin instead of billable work.

One connected system for HR, recruitment, payroll and employee admin, replacing manual, disconnected workflows.
Your hiring, onboarding and employee setup managed in one place, allowing you to go from offer to onboard with ease.
An AI recruitment agent that can screen applications, rank candidates against role requirements and shortlist the strongest matches, so managers reach offer stage sooner.

Meet the AI-powered Employment Operating System
Employment Hero brings HR, payroll and hiring together, with Hero AI embedded across every stage of the employee lifecycle. Instead of adding more tools, you get one system that helps your team work smarter, move faster and stay in control.
Your workforce, working smarter
If you have a team of permanent and casual staff, managing your workforce comes with real compliance risk. Employment Hero automates the hard stuff, from award interpretation, HR workflows and policy adherence, so your team stays protected and your operations team stays focused on performance, not paperwork.
Boost your compliance confidence
Between Fair Work and modern award updates, the stakes have never been higher. From digital employment agreements to automated award interpretation and upcoming Payday Super requirements, we’ll help you carry less risk and have greater confidence.
A single source of truth for your business
Stop the spreadsheet chaos. Whether you’re managing one site, five sites or fifty, keep every policy acknowledgement, contract and leave balance in one secure, cloud-based platform accessible from anywhere.
Why law firms are switching to Employment Hero
As business operations become more complex, manual processes and disconnected systems are no longer fit for purpose. These manual processes slow teams down, increase risk and reduce control. Employment Hero helps leaders in the legal sector run a more automated, connected and scalable workforce.
Find top lawyers, paralegals and support staff for your firm with Employment Hero's AI recruitment agent
Screening every candidate by hand is a long and slow task for hiring teams.
Employment Hero’s AI Recruitment Agent runs first-round video interviews, scoring every candidate against the same rubric, so you can shortlist your firm’s next hire without the manual back-and-forth.
Assign training online and have your team digitally acknowledge it
Need to train your team on new or upcoming changes to important legislation?
Simply create your own learning modules in-platform, with options to add videos and documents, assignments and quizzes, and have your team complete it all digitally.
Complete pay runs in minutes, not days
Running payroll across partners, lawyers and support staff, each on different pay structures and awards, shouldn’t take days.
Our payroll engine automates award interpretation and pay calculations, so mixed employment types are handled in one pay run.
Say goodbye to manual HR
Practice managers shouldn’t lose hours every week to leave spreadsheets, chasing document sign-off and tracking compliance manually. That time is better spent supporting clients, not chasing admin.
Our Employment Operating System runs HR for you, so you can focus on the work that keeps the firm running.

See how one of Australia’s largest legal service providers saved $120k on their HR and payroll operations with Employment Hero
The challenge
Before Employment Hero, NAAJA was juggling five disconnected systems.
Manual data entry, duplicate records and spreadsheet compliance tracking drained precious time from their small HR team.
NAAJA’s teams travel vast distances, sometimes over 1000km in a single day, to reach clients across remote communities.
“Our staff are stretched thin, managing caseloads of sometimes more than 120 clients each. They don’t have time for extra admin or complexity.”
The solution
Enter Employment Hero, which replaced NAAJA’s disconnected tools with one unified platform.
Fast workflows eliminated the need for complex configuration, while HR and payroll now share a single source of truth, removing double entry entirely.
Compliance documents like qualifications and Working With Children Checks are tracked automatically and API integrations pull accurate data straight into NAAJA’s reporting systems, eliminating manual spreadsheets and year-round data wrangling.
The ROI
Within 12 months of using Employment Hero, NAAJA was able to:
- Remove 1.5 FTE of manual HR/payroll administration
- Reinvest $120k per year into a new People & Culture Officer role
- Save an hour per applicant during recruitment and onboarding
