Employment Hero Software

Streamlined our onboarding & HR document management.

Pros

There's no guess work. The menu options are clear and the interface is easy to use. I love the employee onboarding function, the seamless integration with our accounting software & the ability to store all our HR docs in each employee's file for easy access.

Cons

Can't fault it. It's the easiest system implementation I've been part of and the support team are great.

Pros

We have all the information for our team in one place, with a great range of letters and contract templates for use. It's saved us employing someone specifically to manage HR. Manager

Cons

It's not immediately intuitive where each component is or how it's used, although the email support is fast and efficient to help you get sorted.

Reduce time and paperwork, prompt flow of information, user friendly.

Pros

A to Z HRIS for a small to medium size company. Customer support has been very efficient and to my satisfaction.

Cons

The software is very user friendly, however the initial implementation meeting should have been more detailed so that all relevant details could have been updated before go live.

Pros

We like how everything flows and works together - it's a really well thought out system! From the sales team to the implementation team, everyone knows the product incredibly well. The webinars are excellent as is all the information available via You Tube.

Cons

As we are in the implementation stage we are unable to give much detail about the cons at this point.

Pros

The simplicity of the functions and transactional ability mostly; and that it provides the compliance and reassurance our clients' needs

Cons

If Employment Hero linked with OHS management it will dominate the market and provide a much greater level of scope for clients

Time savings, cost efficiency, easy to use.

Pros

The simplicity makes it easy to navigate. It is really cost effective and the customer service is good.
It save heaps of time compared to accounting program payroll modules and it integrates with the accounting software and banking software.

Cons

It would be good if you could add volunteers (unpaid people) without needing to go through all the fields that need to be populated for paid staff

Streamlined and replaced manual processes. More resource and important legal information available right alongside great data management.

Pros

Streamlined and well automated business flows.
Great integration with existing systems.
Employee self services.
Brilliant on boarding process.

One online portal for payslips, leave booking, user management.
Can book leave way in the future and see how much leave will have accrued at that date.

Pros

Booking/checking leave is amazingly easy and clear. Consolidates several older systems (payslips, leave, on/offboarding checklists)
iOS app is clean and convenient.

Cons

Can't reassign assigned tasks, or decline with message - if I can't do a particular task for any reason I have to decline it in EH then send an email separately saying why.

Time - This software has saved my sanity in on boarding new employees and now we have over 100 staff its great that they can update their details themselves.

Pros

Ease of use, great on boarding tool, cuts the contract time down considerably, Great task list features, good reporting functions as you can customize easily. Collates all the employee information meaning accounts aren't left to chase down these items from employees.

The employees love the platform too as it has all their information for them in one place and they all love the Annual Leave function

Cons

I would like to be able to assign certain sections to other employees - for example it would be good if the accounts staff could view "Employee Bank Details" without having access to any other information

I would also like to be able to amend and upload (or delete) our own contracts rather than having to go through the support team every time - Support are great if I am not in a rush as it normally take 24-48 Hours to turn around, but if I just need to alter something quickly it would be nice to add and remove myself

Staff can submit leave and timesheets electronically now instead of handing in paper forms!

Pros

Staff can now electronically hand in leave forms and timesheets. the app is handy for staff on the move

Cons

We have lots of HR and payroll forms and this software cannot incorporate them to allow us a completely paperless HR system

Biggest benefit is having all the staff data in one place, plus auditing tools/notes to record staff changes and moves. It is fast, simple and does exactly what it needs to.

Pros

It is easy to use, relatively comprehensive, and is a one-stop shop for employee data. We utilise it primarily for recording employee data and contracts (not Payroll) and offers good tools to report on compliance and profile completeness. It is currently an essential tool in our business for managing our staff.

Cons

Most features are pretty well thought out, and one of the biggest limitations (timeframe and cost to have custom built contracts/policies) is soon to be a thing of the past. Probably the biggest bug I have is after viewing or sending a contract to a recipient, there is no one-click to return the the Employee File - you either need to search again or navigate back in the browser.

Pros

The review section and building my own templates, use of timesheets, compliance are staffing credentials and a lot more.

Cons

Takes time to learn how to use all facets of the software, I am short on time unfortunately so I haven't used all.

- Efficiencies in processes
- Better induction and on boarding of staff
- Quicker turnaround times
- Compliance

Pros

- Significant reduction in Administrative functions
- Faster turnaround times for contracts and other HR documentation
- Ease of use
- Ability to access data and information from anywhere in the world
- Managers having the ability to access the information themselves saves me time
- Quick turnaround times from Customer Support to upload organisation specific documentation/letters/contracts

Cons

There has not been one thing that I dislike about the software. It is so easy to use. I'm looking forward to further enhancements of the system like process requisitions

A fully functional HRIS system that improves due to the updates they make. It's perfect for our size business that is growing.

Pros

Has a lot of features and is free of charge when using their preferred superannuation fund for new employees. Amazing system for free!!!

Cons

Would be great to have a working training matrix eventually and a fully operational recruiting system.

Pros

Functionality of having the mobile app for employees to log their leave requests, timsheets, view the staff directory and the web-based userface for being able to record, track and manage employees. Also, the on-boarding features are very time sufficient. In the past, our company documented everything manually and printed pages of contracts which would require a physical with signature. Now with Employment Hero everything is completed on the platform and located in one central location and new employees have the ability to login and view as well as digitally sign their employment contract/offer of employment. The ability to review payslips is also a great and private feature of Employment Hero - It is something we are not using at the moment but at looking at phasing out in the near future.

Cons

I don't really have any con's of the software application within Employment Hero. Maybe the opportunity to have a Time in Lieu (TOIL) reporting system can be explored by the developers would assist us more in our operations functions.

Pros

It is user friendly and easy for employees to use. Employees are able to receive notification via mobile or email.

Cons

There is afunction that isn't fully developed that would support our business. Ie contractors information not being able to save after they are off boarded.

Pros

Employment Hero has allowed us to move on from a lot of the manual practices that we had in place. It's so much more efficient for us to send our contract electronically and have all personal details in one place. It has really taken away a lot of manual work and simplified things for us.
We also love being able to pull standard reports quickly such as staff numbers, anniversaries and gender numbers.

Cons

It would be really great to be able to have our International staff on EH as well. And I do find some of the reporting a little tricky but its nothing that I cant work around.

Pros

We love the simple few click employee onboarding. What was once a painful task of collating documetns, following up and then data entry is now a simple task for our business and we can trust that everything is taken care of directly in the system.

Cons

Looking forward to Employment Hero increasing functionality with the Xero API. We have trouble with the timesheets data and superannuation information syncing from the employee portal into Xero.

Pros

The new platform is easy to use. Learning portal is most helpful. Reporting stats are a also a great way to give management an overview of company demographics as well as retention/turnover.

Cons

Would be great to see more companies on board for a range of staff perks. It's a great incentive for our staff but we were hoping for more than what is there currently.

Everything - more organisation, more visibility, just more of everything

Pros

The software is easy to use and for the most part intuitive, it is great to have everything all together instead of scattered about in different places and it allows for future growth. We have been able to adapt various functions to our own use, rather than what they were intended for, so the system is versatile. The support is super and best of all, being an Australian company, they are right here so we get very quick response and the software is made Australian laws and requirements in mind, rather than American or European. Overall, I am very positive about this system and we have found that the more we use it the more we find we can do with it.

Cons

We would like to see more in the employee dashboards, such as their goals but apart from that, there isnt really anything we are disappointed with and the EH team is very open to clients providing ideas for the development team.
