Frequently asked questions
HeroForce is our Shared Employment Infrastructure. While our software helps you manage your own employees, HeroForce allows you to hire and employ talent; locally, globally or on-demand, using our legal entities. We handle the contracts, payroll and compliance, while you manage the day-to-day work.
HeroForce acts as the legal Employer of Record. This means we take on the legal responsibility and admin burden of employment, allowing you to scale your team without the complexity of setting up new entities or managing fragmented local payroll systems.
HeroForce is ideal for businesses that need to hire locally or overseas, scale flexibly or employ talent without the burden of internal HR infrastructure and compliance risk.
HeroForce removes your operational risk by shifting the legal employment responsibility to Employment Hero, while you continue to manage your people and their work. This allows businesses to scale their workforce without expanding internal HR, payroll or compliance teams.
HeroForce brings together AI-powered talent tools and Employment Hero’s Employer of Record (EOR) service, which allows you to find, employ and manage talent anywhere globally without setting up local entities.
With direct employment, your business is the legal employer of your employees.. HeroForce means we take on that responsibility and handle employment admin for you. Find out more on how the two compare here.
No. One of the best things about HeroForce is that it gives employers greater choice. You can bring your own candidates or source talent through HeroForce and employ them globally using Employment Hero’s EOR service.
You can hire talent from within New Zealand or from over 180 countries through Employment Hero’s AI-powered talent tools and employ them via HeroForce.
Yes. You decide who to hire, how work is done and how your team performs.
HeroForce is not traditional outsourcing. It’s a different way to run employment where you retain full operational control of your workforce and we take care of the legal, administrative and compliance responsibilities behind the scenes.
Yes. Both are built on Employment Hero’s connected infrastructure and AI-powered capabilities.
Yes. As your business changes, you can choose the model that suits your needs. Plus you can have employees that are hired directly, with others hired through HeroForce.
HeroForce acts as your legal employer, handling your employment agreement, payroll, KiwiSaver, leave entitlements and compliance on behalf of the business you work with. The business still directs your day-to-day work and shapes your team culture, while Employment Hero’s experts ensure your entitlements are applied correctly including compliant pay, KiwiSaver contributions made correctly and on time, and employment terms that meet New Zealand law. You get the energy of a growing business with the employment rigour of a much larger one.
In every way that matters for your career, you do. Your day-to-day work, performance and team culture are all managed by the business. HeroForce simply handles the employment admin behind the scenes.
No. You are an employee with full statutory entitlements, not a contractor. You receive a proper employment agreement, pay at or above minimum wage, KiwiSaver contributions, and leave entitlements including annual leave, sick leave and public holidays. This means the same protections as any other employee in New Zealand.
