    Pros
    Employment Hero is super easy to use. The instant benefit we received was taking our onboarding and HR to a system with paperless processes.
    Even the free version is excellent. The ability to send electronic employment contracts is fantastic.
    The team at Employment Hero are extremely capable from sales to integrations, they listen carefully and ensure the best available options are applied to meet your operational needs.
    Cons
    Inability and restriction on scheduling report, announcement etc means you cannot customise this.
    The cons we are facing at the moment is missing out on some of the payroll functions as we are running payroll through another system.
    Occasionally when I email employment contracts to staff they have difficulty with finding this email in their junk mail / spam / inbox. Some are not able to find this at all.

    Great platform that is always improving

    Reviewed 3 years ago
    Pros

    so many quality of life features that make tedious administrative tasks really easy!

    Cons

    expensive phone customer support can make it challenging to get a quick answer to a query. Email support is free, however, can be slow.

    Vendor response

    HR made easy

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The fact we can have up to 350 people inducted and work ready over our peak season the thing we loved most was the ease in which we could do multiple pays per week for the different divisions we have, and the fact employees can access their payslips, leave balances etc is just awesome. We most definitely saved hours pay day by using this system very happy we made the change to Employment Hero.

    Pros

    We found the system super easy to use once set up had been completed it was a very simple process to move over to Employment Hero - We use a lot of seasonal workers through Cherry season and this system made it so much easier for employees as well as the admin team.

    Cons

    Not so much as liking least but it just took a while to work out which information was where in the menu

    Vendor response

    Hi Dearne, Thank you so much for taking the time to review Employment Hero and to provide so much detail about your experiences. We really appreciate it. We're so glad we can help you manage your onboarding and offboarding across seasons and that all your employees love having their employment documents on hand whenever they need them. We look forward to supporting you and the team for many more seasons to come! Thank you again, The Team at Employment Hero

    Think twice.

    Reviewed 2 years ago

    If a seamless user experience and reliable software that's easy to use is important to you, do not choose Employment Hero. It has been working OK (just) since ironing out most of the problems but not work the time and money to get to this stage. The HR and Payroll software are clearly sold separately because the look and feel is different and you need to instruct managers to perform actions in one platform, despite being able to do it in another, causing confusion.

    Pros

    The ability for employees to update their own personal information. Contract templates are helpful for those who don't have an internal legal or large HR department.

    Cons

    The integration between the two products - HR and payroll is awful. They often don't communicate with each other seamlessly and you are required to learn by trial and error due to the poor deployment processes and cumbersome workflow regarding setup. Customer Service is helpful most of the time but you will be passed through numerous people who do not explain the fundamental use of all the features. Too much emphasis is on knowing the hundreds of pages of instructions and features. Timekeeping apps (Clock Me In/Workzone) are simply terrible.

    Vendor response

    Hi Kim, Thank your for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience with Employment Hero hasn't been as seamless as we'd like it to be. We'll be reaching out directly to reach a resolution and hope that we can get things back on track. Thank you again, Anna from Employment Hero

    Employment Hero Review

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    The on boarding off staff has become so much easier compared to manually entering forms and employee information in the system. We also utilise the payroll feature and the payroll team we work with are brilliant too. A lot easier to collate items such as policies, collect employee documents and track their document expiry dates for compliance purposes much easier. Also much easier to track probation periods with the reminders.

    Pros

    I like it’s easy to use, the HeroShop (now My Benefits -> Discounts) is brilliant and adds a benefit for employees, issuing employee documents and on boarding them is very simple and saves us so much time otherwise spent on manual on boarding. Leave management, timesheet management very simple and straightforward. Reporting features is great too, to find out staff insights such as headcount numbers etc. Any queries I have or issues with the system the support team is very helpful too!

    Cons

    Occasionally when I email employment contracts to staff they have difficulty with finding this email in their junk mail / spam / inbox. Some are not able to find this at all. I usually have to then send the contract manually. There’s no way to resend the contract once it has sent, so perhaps a feature such as send a staff member a reminder email to sign their contract could be beneficial. Some staff...

    Hi Rachel, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed review of Employment Hero! It's a huge help to others looking for their own people management platform. It's great to see we've saved you so much time with your HR admin and that you've found the support team so helpful. We appreciate your detailed feedback about the system too. It is possible to remind pending employees about their contract - I'll send you an email now to show you how. Thank you again and we'll be in touch shortly. All the best, The Employment Hero Team

    HR made easy

    Reviewed 3 years ago

    EH replaces so much paperwork and files that were previously saved on the server which needed to be printed, signed and scanned. EH replaces all of this. Self implementation was painless. On-boarding new team members is only a few clicks.

    Pros

    Time-sheets and leave application from the app Today's events in the app Certifications to automatically control licences, tickets and qualification replacing onerous spreadsheets Content Management - ability to add templates and link these to the relevant team members HR Documents tab in the personnel file - so easy to issue and finalise contract, pay reviews etc. Reviews in EH replacing a manual paper system Good screen layout - easy to navigate

    Cons

    My only reservation in opting for EH was the lack of a Learning Management System (LMS). Now that GO1 is available this should meet our requirements.

    Vendor response

    Hi Heather, Thank you for taking the time to give Employment Hero such a glowing review! We're so happy to see that Employment Hero has streamlined so many aspects of your people management and hope that our LMS is going to continue to make things even easier! Thank you again, The Employment Hero Team
