“It takes a manager 10 to 15 minutes to approve 50 timesheets.”


“I love how easy it is to use; I can access work from the office, a specific centre, at home or even when on leave for emergencies.”


“Before Employment Hero, everything was on paper. Now it takes half the time to do everything.”


“Employment Hero has streamlined our process of recruitment through to onboarding. At the click of a button, we can coordinate everything from the recruitment process through to issuing a contract, managing payroll and compliance documents for new staff. Employment Hero is also making it much easier to manage policies, procedures and mandatory training. This has streamlined both short-term tasks through to end-of-year reviews. ”
