Welcome back to the Employment Hero monthly product update!
Before we dive in, we’d like to say thank you for your continued support throughout 2022. It was a huge year for us both locally and globally, and 2023 is set to be even bigger. We’d also like to say thank you for your feedback on our product and features. As you may know, lots of our product updates and features come to fruition via feedback from you, so if you have any ideas, observations or opinions, we’re always listening.
We mean it – we really do.
In our December product wrap up, you’ll learn all about integrating leave in Employment Hero into your calendar, connecting the Employment Hero Company Feed into Slack, as well as improvements to our Recruitment module (ATS) and more.
You can now integrate Employment Hero in your company Slack channels
We’re really excited to let you know about this highly requested feature.
As many businesses continue to work remotely at least some of the time, communication remains essential in maintaining a connected workforce.
To increase communication across teams – regardless of where they’re located – you can now integrate the Employment Hero company feed into your Slack channels. This includes seeing Announcements, Shout Outs and Recognition in your workspace.

An easier and more efficient way to offboard employees
Goodbyes are hard, but we’re here to help. With our recent updates, you’ll be able to offboard employees more effectively, while accurately processing their final pay. We’ve introduced the following features to help streamline offboarding admin by:
- Making the Comment section field available
- Introducing an Employee Access setting whereby admins can determine when they want to remove an employees’ HR access, which previously only happened right after you terminate an employee
- Introducing a Payroll Cut Off Date where HR admins can now safely terminate an employee in HR and decide when they want to terminate the status of an employee in payroll (even after termination) to make sure final pay is processed correctly
- HR admins are now able to cancel offboarding anytime before the termination date
Want to see our updated offboarding in action? Take a look at this video.

Integrate your calendar with approved leave in Employment Hero
Managing employee leave can be tricky at the best of times, so that’s why we’ve made it easier to quickly gain oversight of leave. Now, you can view approved leave without having to log in to Employment Hero, right from your external calendar. Better yet, this gives everyone in the team visibility of each other’s availability and plan around it accordingly.
Not only does it pull through newly created leave requests, but also the syncing of updates made to any leave. For example, if an approved leave has been updated to have less or more hours/days, once it’s approved again users will be notified of this calendar change. The same goes for the deletion of approved leave requests.
Learn how to sync leave with your calendar.

Add more power to your search with Candidate Custom Tags
You can now create your own Custom Tags and use them to filter and sort candidates while reviewing a job role. Some examples to use them include categorising based on skills, location, experience, etc. for future open roles.
- Create your own Custom Tags based on specific details you want to highlight.

Add more information to your role listings with Custom Experience Levels

Interview scheduling now integrates with Calendly

This integration allows recruiters to invite candidates to choose an interview slot through Calendly, streamlining the process of finding a suitable time and date. For those using a paid Calendly account, you’ll also be able to see interview details through the activity trail.
