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.

Multi-Entity CoA Just Got More Granular.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

For those managing multiple entities and locations, we’ve got a treat for you. You can now slice and dice your Chart of Accounts (CoA) by both location and employing entity. No more choosing between one or the other, allowing more reporting flexibility.

Unlock Simpler Logins with Passkeys in the EH Work App.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

Passkeys can now be used with the EH Work App. Forget remembering complex passwords – use and manage passkeys directly within the App under Security Settings. It’s all about a faster, more seamless login experience.

Introducing Benefits Management.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

Get ready to streamline how you manage and communicate company benefits. We’re thrilled to introduce a brand-new Benefits Management tab for admins. Here, you can easily view and assign company benefits to your employees. And the best part? These benefits will soon be visible to your employees on a new Benefits & Perks page that’s just around the corner. Stay tuned for the employee-facing launch.

Compliance Reporting Just Got Faster.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

We’re making it easier and quicker to access your crucial compliance data. 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.

Say Goodbye to Manual Pay Rate Template Syncing.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

We’re all about automation, and this update is a game-changer. Admins no longer need to manually import Pay Rate Templates from Payroll into your connected HR instance. Now, any changes you make to Pay Rate Templates in Payroll – whether you create, update, or delete them – will automatically sync to HR in real-time. It’s seamless, it’s efficient, and it saves you valuable time.

Pinpoint Leave Entitlement: Accrual from Start Date.

(Available to all subscription tiers)

We’re improving leave entitlement accuracy by allowing you to configure leave to accrue directly from each employee’s individual start date, rather than relying on a single calendar date for everyone. This ensures pro-rata calculations are spot-on, supporting compliance with local employment standards and giving you greater flexibility to align with your organisation’s preferences.

Tax Tables updated for the 2025/2026 tax year.

(Available to all Payroll subscription tiers)

We’ve updated the new tax tables for the 2025/2026 tax year. You can rest easy knowing that these updated tables will automatically kick in for any pay runs with a paid date on or after 1st April 2025.

Sick of Sickness Reporting? We’ve Got You Covered.

(Available on Lite, Plus and Unlimited)

Say goodbye to the days of vague sickness reports; our revamped Sickness Report now delivers the nitty-gritty details you crave. We’re talking a clear, concise table that lays out exactly who was off, why, and when. No more guesswork.

Keep a Finger on Sick Leave with ‘Notify When Sick’.

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

Staying informed about employee wellbeing just got easier. 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.
