How Employment Hero supports finance leaders
Reclaim your time by streamlining your payroll
Employment Hero will help you close faster every month
Manual payroll is a time sink. Spreadsheets, reconciliations and fixing errors can take days every pay cycle. With Employment Hero, timesheets flow straight into payroll, journal entries sync with your accounting software and pay runs are completed in hours.
Boost your compliance confidence
Software that’s up-to-date with legislative changes
Navigating legislation, such as the Holidays Act and the Employment Relations Act, can be complex. Not to mention the cost involved if you get them wrong. Employment Hero automates leave calculations, record-keeping and pay deductions like PAYE and KiwiSaver, to reduce the risk of manual errors.
Your single source of truth
Accurate data for board packs and forecasts
Say goodbye to jumping between platforms and reconciling spreadsheets. Employment Hero brings HR, payroll and leave data into one single source of truth. Get access to real-time dashboards showing headcount, labour costs and liabilities, so you can report faster and forecast in real-time.
Tap into insightful workforce data to drive better decisions
Spot cost blowouts before they hit the bottom line
As a finance leader, you need accurate numbers and data, not guesswork. With Employment Hero’s real-time dashboards, you can see headcount, labour costs, overtime and leave liabilities in one place. It’s also easy to create custom reports on various aspects of the business, from leave balances to attendance tracking.
Our Employment Operating System is built to scale with you
Software for small, medium and large businesses
Growth shouldn’t mean more admin. Employment Hero is built to handle 20 to 1,000 employees, across multiple entities and locations. With custom pay categories and workflows, the platform scales with you, helping keep payroll accurate and efficient no matter how complex things get.
