And here’s why…
Take control of payday pressure
Between pay runs, off-cycle payments, terminations, corrections and back pay, payroll teams are under constant time pressure with zero room for error.
Employment Hero connects timesheets, rosters, approvals and payroll in one place, so you’re not chasing data across systems or fixing issues at the last minute. Built-in checks flag issues early, helping you finalise payruns, even in the tightest payroll windows.
Manage compliance, even when rules keep changing
From modern awards to STP Phase 2, payroll tax and now Payday Super, every payroll officer knows that compliance never stands still.
Employment Hero includes 50+ pre-configured modern awards with corresponding rates and rules. Plus, tax, super, overtime, penalty rates and allowances are calculated in line with Australian legislation, reducing the risk of underpayments and giving you peace of mind.
Replace spreadsheets with a single source of truth
Fragmented systems create risk. Timesheets in one platform, leave in another, super managed separately and spreadsheets holding everything together.
Employment Hero brings employee data, pay rules, leave balances and super obligations into one system. With our suite of payroll tools, all of your payroll data lives in one place, meaning you can stop the back-and-forth between systems.

How Employment Hero supports payroll professionals
Run payroll faster, without it taking up your entire week
Processing payroll manually is exhausting. Double-checking every line, reconciling spreadsheets and fixing avoidable errors can consume days each cycle.
With Employment Hero, payroll becomes exception-based. Pre-pay run checks anomalies like missing bank details, unusual hours or negative leave balances before you finalise. Scheduled pay runs, reusable templates and automated calculations mean less manual admin and more confidence when it comes time to submit a pay run.
Manage Payday Super, without the stress
From 1 July 2026, Payday Super is set to add even more pressure to already tight payroll cycles, with increased risk of penalties for getting it wrong
With HeroClear, super compliance will be seamless and stress-free. Super details will be automatically validated upfront, contributions will be calculated and submitted directly from Employment Hero Payroll and payments will be securely drawn from your nominated business account. Every transaction, from payment through to settlement, errors or refunds, will be tracked seamlessly within your Employment Hero platform.
Reduce manual admin with built-in automation
Payroll teams are being asked to do more than ever, often without extra headcount. Employment Hero helps lighten the load by automating many of the repetitive, high-risk tasks that slow payroll teams down.
Allowances and loadings are applied automatically, terminations, pro-ratas and leave payouts are guided by built-in rules, and employees and managers can manage timesheets, leave and personal details through the EH work app. Plus, STP reporting and payroll records are handled in-platform, reducing manual work and follow-ups, empowering payroll teams to spend less time fixing issues.
Have the visibility payroll officers actually needs
Payroll teams are often the point of reference when questions come up, whether they’re from employees, finance, HR or auditors. Having the right visibility makes all the difference.
Employment Hero provides a clear view of every pay event and adjustment, along with tracking of super contributions by pay period and employee. Payroll-ready reports for PAYG, STP and leave liabilities are always on hand, and configurable approvals and permissions help the right people stay in control.
Built to scale with your business
Whether you’re running payroll for 20 employees or over 1,000, Employment Hero is built to scale with you. Manage multiple entities, locations, employment types and pay schedules from one place.
With built-in flexibility for custom rules, enterprise agreements and site-specific configurations, Employment Hero Payroll can grow and change alongside the business.
