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 globally, 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.

HeroForce acts as your legal employer, handling your employment contract, payroll, PAYE tax, National Insurance, pension auto-enrolment, holiday pay, and statutory leave entitlements 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 rights are applied correctly, including National Minimum Wage compliance, statutory sick pay, and employment terms that meet UK 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, your contract, payroll, and statutory obligations, so the business can focus on what they do best, and you can focus on the job.

No. You are an employee with full statutory entitlements under UK employment law, not a contractor. You receive a proper written employment contract, pay at or above National Minimum Wage, National Insurance contributions, pension auto-enrolment, paid holiday, and statutory sick pay. This means the same protections as any other employee in the UK, including rights under the Employment Rights Act.
