From the factory floor to the pay run, without the paperwork

Manufacturing runs on shifts, certificates and tight margins. It shouldn’t run on paper sign-in books and a spreadsheet of penalty calculations.

Employment Hero brings hiring, onboarding, time tracking, rostering, health and safety records and payroll into one Employment Operating System, so your supervisors spend less time on admin and more time keeping the line moving.

And here’s why…

Connect the floor to the pay run

Swap paper sign-in books and manual timesheets for kiosk and mobile clock-in with photo capture. Hours flow straight through to payroll, so nobody is re-keying a smudged sheet on a Friday afternoon.

Fill every shift, every season

Hire and onboard casual and contract workers on their phones before their first shift. When orders spike, a rush of new starters does not turn into a gap on the line.

Keep crews qualified and safe

Store forklift certificates, machine sign-offs and site inductions in one place, with automatic reminders well before anything expires.

We’re leaders in employment

Everything your plant floor needs, in one place

Prioritise workplace safety and feel confident about compliance

Upload forklift certificates, machine operator sign-offs, site inductions and training records against each employee, and set reminders before they expire. When WorkSafe asks who was certified on which machine, the answer takes seconds instead of a trip to the filing cabinet.

Go from job ad to first shift faster

Post a role, get matched with work-ready candidates in your area, and let our Recruitment Agent handle the first screening round. Once you have made the call, onboarding happens on a phone: contracts signed, bank and IRD details submitted, safety inductions completed and training modules assigned before day one.

Clock in on the floor, not on a clipboard

Set up a kiosk at the plant entrance or let workers clock in from their phones, with photo capture and location so you know who was on site and when. Timesheets build themselves, supervisors approve them in a few taps, and approved hours flow into the pay run without anyone retyping a number.

Payroll built for shift work

Variable hours, overtime, weekend work and public holidays make manufacturing payroll harder than most. Employment Hero automates the calculations, keeps leave balances accurate and gives you a pay run you can check before it goes out.

A weekly staff schedule shows shifts for Sam Healing, Jack Green, and Ada Smith on Monday 14 and Tuesday 15, with green checks marking accepted shifts.

Roster across shifts, lines and sites

Build rosters for day, afternoon and night shifts, publish them to your team’s phones and fill last-minute call-outs without a round of phone calls. Real-time workforce analytics show you where labour costs are going and which shifts are short, across one site or several, so you can plan for a busy run instead of reacting to it.

Don’t just take our word for it…

“The transparency and visibility that employees have over their annual performance appraisal within the system is great. Both employees and managers can prepare before the meeting by writing comments, and the other person can see this. This clarity will enable employees to have better focus and direction on their goals throughout the years, [which] should lead to improved performance and recognition…”

Frequently asked questions

Your team clocks in and out from a kiosk at the plant entrance or from their own phones, with photo capture and location so attendance is recorded accurately. Those hours build a digital timesheet automatically, supervisors approve them, and the approved hours flow straight into the pay run. No paper sign-in book, no re-keying and far fewer shift disputes at the end of the fortnight.

Real-time workforce analytics help you see busy periods coming and roster for them, rather than scrambling when a large order lands. When you do need more hands, recruitment and digital onboarding get casual and contract workers hired, inducted and shift-ready quickly, so a peak run does not stall on paperwork.

Add the minimum requirements for a role and we match you with work-ready candidates already in our talent pool, so you are not paying for job adverts and waiting. Our Recruitment Agent can run the first screening round for you, and you decide who to talk to. For roles you cannot fill from outside, the built-in learning tools let you retrain people you already have.

Our Employment Operating System comes with built-in onboarding software and a suite of employee engagement tools. Make a great first impression with seamless, digitised and user-friendly onboarding, and keep staff engaged with our Hero Points system, Company Feed for shout-outs, and customisable development plans. Encourage staff to upskill and retrain with access to our in-built learning management system offering hundreds of unique training modules.

Every certificate, licence and induction record sits against the employee in one place, with reminders set well before expiry. You can create your own health and safety training modules, assign them and have your team sign them off digitally. Incident reporting lives in the same system, so your health and safety records are together when you need them.
