Honestly, moving our onboarding and HR documents over to Employment Hero has saved my sanity. Having the contracts, VEVO checks, and policy sign-offs all handled digitally in one spot before a new starter even walks through the door is brilliant. The integration with Xero is relatively smooth, and knowing that the platform actively updates with Fair Work award changes gives me massive peace of mind on the compliance side. The staff also find the Swag app pretty easy for checking payslips and submitting leave requests. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It’s not entirely a "set and forget" system. The initial setup and getting our custom payroll rules sorted took way more manual data entry and tweaking than the sales pitch led us to believe. My biggest gripe, though, is the customer support. If you hit a weird glitch or a payroll error, getting a real human on the phone or chat quickly can be incredibly frustrating—it relies heavily on their AI chatbot and support tickets, which takes time when you're in a rush.
