Product Update: March 2025

A big hello from the Employment Hero team and welcome to the March 2025 product update. 

From simpler logins to faster compliance reporting, we’ll cover it all right here. 

Let’s dive right in.

Employee leave can now be set to accrue from individual start dates

(Available to all subscription tiers)

You can now set up employee leave to accrue from each individual’s start date, rather than using a single calendar date for everyone. This update will help you feel confident that leave calculations are accurate, which may help with workforce planning and budgeting.

 Carried over leave amounts are now included in your forecasted balances. Plus, we’ve added a helpful tooltip to clearly explain that the forecasted balance includes the employee’s carried-over leave, if applicable.

Filter your Chart of Accounts (CoA) by location and employing entity

(Available to all subscription tiers)

For those managing multiple entities and locations, you can now filter your Chart of Accounts (CoA) by both location and employing entity. No more choosing between one or the other, allowing more reporting flexibility.

Policy and Induction Content reports now sit under the Compliance tag

We’ve separated the Policy and Induction Content reports into two distinct reports under the Compliance tag. This means less waiting time for your data to load. Plus, we’ve added two handy new pinned report widgets for both, along with additional Custom Security Settings permissions for enhanced control.

Changes to Pay Rate Templates now auto-sync to HR

Better oversight of sick leave balances 

(Available to Classic Platinum, and EOS Unlimited subscription tiers)

Admins can now leverage the ‘Notify when sick leave exceeds a number of days in the last 12 months’ template. This allows you to set a threshold, and managers will receive an alert if an employee’s total sick leave within the last year surpasses that specified amount.

Increasing transparency around leave

(Available on Lite, Plus, and Unlimited)

Transparency is key, and we’re empowering you to ensure it. Admins can now make notes and/or request supporting documentation for specific leave types. This means fewer back-and-forths between managers and employees, and faster approvals.
