The fact that it has a rewards program was very exciting to the team and created buy-in which allowed us to create engagement through the team. Having a great policy and performance review templates allowed us to create processes around how we engage with our team and set standards. > > **Cons**: Not being able to customise colours on the UI to match branding. > > Overall it has been an important tool that has made growing our team a lot easier and ensured we are supporting our team ensuring we are following all the best practices of HR. ----- ### "Will be a 5 star system in time..." — 4.0/5 > **Lizi** | *28 January 2025* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The improvements continue to come. It has helped us streamline our processes. > > **Cons**: Still a couple of niggles with the integration between HR and Payroll platform. HR document creation needs to be improved to allow us to use the platform in its entirety. Currently we still have to do some documents outside of the system. > > We've been using Employment Hero for over a year now, and as a first-time user of an HR/payroll platform, it's significantly streamlined most of our processes. We also use the payroll platform, which is so nearly seamless, and I have to give a special shout-out to Waseem, who I’m always thrilled to see pop up in the chat help box. He’s incredibly helpful and always goes above and beyond to assist. The Chat BOT has also improved greatly over the past few months and now manages to resolve most issues instantly, which has been a real time-saver. While there are still a few teething issues that Employment Hero is aware of and has included in their product development roadmap, it’s clear they are committed to continuous improvement. The improvements keep coming, and I’m excited to see where the platform will be a year from now. For now, I’ll hold back one star until the remaining niggles are resolved, but this platform is definitely on its way to becoming a 5-star product. ----- ### "Review" — 4.0/5 > **Neil** | *7 November 2019* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and very functional for the end user > > **Cons**: No real issues whatsoever as it is very ease to use > > It is a great tool for staff to use and monitor their leave. ----- ### "Best Payroll Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2026* | Photography | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: i liked the learning curve, i like that my information is secured, and i can manage my employee records in one place. reporting and processing payments is super easy. > > **Cons**: I think the price might have been my only issue but it is value for money. It's just when you have limited capital to start with it is a little pricy > > My overall experience is I think this is one if the easiest payroll administrative platforms I have used ----- ### "Good system for the price range" — 4.0/5 > **Daniela** | *13 January 2025* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: A good system for its price range, it significantly automates processes, particularly the connection between HR and Payroll and it is very easy to use At the implementation, the implementation team greatly supported us. Following the implementation, the customer support team and customer experience team always come back promptly. I use the system every day and it reduces the process time a lot. We haven't tried to integrate with other systems yet. > > **Cons**: The only downside is the recruitment module, which I'm not entirely satisfied with. However, developments are progressing steadily, so there's potential for improvement. Worth a try. Some of the associates do not know the system very well and sometimes we receive odd answers. > > Good. The support teams work tirelessly to resolve all the issues we encounter with the system. I feel like a valued customer to them. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/17496/employment-hero?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/17496/employment-hero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
