Any of these sound familiar? Here’s how Employment Hero helps.
PAIN POINT #1
Employee admin is eating up your time
When you’re running a small business, every hour counts. But between payroll, compliance and managing employee records, admin tasks can quickly take over your day. Staying on top of employment contracts and changing legislation is critical, but it’s exhausting when you’re wearing so many hats.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero puts enterprise-grade HR infrastructure within reach of any business. Payroll, leave, onboarding and compliance, all in one place.
PAIN POINT #2
One compliance mistake can cost more than a year of software
Casual worker entitlements, statutory holiday entitlement calculations, workplace pension obligations. The rules are complex, they change regularly and the financial penalties for getting them wrong are real. Most small businesses find out they’ve made a mistake only when it’s already expensive.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero monitors employment law updates automatically and flags compliance risks before they lead to employment tribunal claims or regulatory penalties, keeping you on the right side of the rules.
PAIN POINT #3
Attracting and retaining talent is harder than ever
In a competitive market, small businesses often struggle to compete with larger companies offering bigger salaries and benefits. Finding the right people, and keeping them, can feel like an uphill battle when resources are tight.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Employment Hero helps you stand out with affordable employee benefits, streamlined onboarding and tools to keep your team engaged and motivated.

Get started in three simple steps
You don’t need a three-month implementation process. Most small businesses are up and running within a week.

Set up in a day
Add your business details, upload your existing employee records and connect your accounting software. Our onboarding team walks you through it, you’re not doing this alone.

Bring your team across
Invite your employees to complete their own profiles via the app. They update their personal details, bank details and tax information directly. No admin required on your end.

Test, then let it run
Before going live, your first processes are reviewed to ensure they align with your compliance requirements. From there, everything runs smoothly, faster, more accurate and effortlessly managed.
