Instead of scrambling through group texts and DMs when someone calls in sick, Employment Hero lets you publish open rota gaps directly to qualified staff via their mobile app. Eligible casuals can view and claim the shift instantly based on their live availability, which automatically updates the master schedule. You simply tap to approve the change, plugging rota gaps in minutes without the back-and-forth phone calls.

Rather than manually checking hours or chasing staff for missing data, Employment Hero feeds mobile clock-ins straight into your payroll. The platform reads each worker’s age, contract type and exact hours logged to automatically calculate correct National Minimum Wage rates, bank holiday pay and statutory leave. Because approved timesheets convert into pay lines instantly, you eliminate weekly data entry and ensure accurate pay runs.

To stop managers from chasing paperwork mid-service, Employment Hero completely digitises onboarding before a new hire’s first shift. The system sends a digital link for the employee to securely sign their employment contract, input bank details, complete tax, National Insurance and pension forms and accept venue policies directly from their phone.

Instead of worrying about outdated records across a high-turnover team, Employment Hero tracks compliance automatically across all your venues. The platform securely stores mandatory credentials like Personal Licences or food hygiene certificates, monitors visa work restrictions via automated Right to Work checks and triggers alerts before any document expires, giving management a live dashboard of shift compliance.
