Super all-rounder" — 5.0/5 > **Sannah** | *10 February 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like being able to have everything related to HR all in one place rather than having to use multiple systems. > > **Cons**: I would like to have some automated functions such as calculating employee leave easier. I do not like how less company perks the site offers. > > I prefer using Employment Hero over our previous HR system due to having more functions available. ----- ### "Has potential but not as robust as I would hope" — 3.0/5 > **Rob** | *19 February 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: They're continuously updating the platform and adding new features. Can handle a weekly payroll > > **Cons**: Some parts aren't intuitive to use. Other parts, like holiday balances, break easily and can result in lots of time and effort to get right. It doesn't feel quite so robust as other platforms on the market. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "We are thrilled with Employment Hero" — 5.0/5 > **Kimolee** | *10 February 2025* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy, fun, colorful and straightforward.
