Customer support, on-boarding, payroll and the overall HR platform is the best on the market. ----- ### "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. ----- ### "Easy to navigate with all you need from an HR/Payroll Platform" — 5.0/5 > **Cristina** | *24 October 2024* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to navigate and integrates everything we need. > > **Cons**: That's there's a lot of settings in both HR and Payroll and sometimes it gets confusing. Also my employees have access to both because in order to use rosters they need access to Payroll and sometimes they are entering timesheets in both systems and overlapping, etc. > > My overall experience with Employment Hero has been good. I’ve been using Employment Hero since 2016, right from their very beginning, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve improved over the years. It’s clear that they take customer feedback seriously, which is why I believe it’s so important to keep sharing our experiences. After a five-year break in my career, I returned to work in Australia and switched from another HR system over to Employment Hero and I can see that they have some new features even some of the issues we were facing 5 years ago still there. But overall it's a great system and the customer support normally is immediate and very helpful. ----- ### "Great system\! 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. ----- ### "Streamlined HR Management with Minor Setup Challenges" — 5.0/5 > **Jane** | *15 October 2024* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: What I liked most about Employment Hero is how it simplifies HR \& Payroll processes while offering a user-friendly platform. It integrates everything from payroll to employee management in one place, which makes it easy to handle everyday tasks efficiently. The self-service portal for employees is a great feature too—it empowers staff to manage their own information and leave requests without having to go through HR every time. Additionally, the compliance tools give peace of mind, ensuring we stay up to date with legislation. Overall, it's a comprehensive system that streamlines workflows and saves time > > **Cons**: The only downside I've experienced with Employment Hero is that setting up our complex Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA) took longer than expected. Due to the intricacies of our specific agreement, the setup process required more time and effort to ensure everything was accurate. However, once configured, the system has run smoothly. This would likely be less of an issue for businesses with simpler agreements. > > My overall experience with Employment Hero has been very positive. The platform is user-friendly and makes managing HR tasks much more efficient, from payroll to employee management. I especially appreciate the self-service features, which empower employees to manage their own information and requests. The compliance tools are another plus, helping us stay on top of regulations. The only challenge we faced was the setup of our complex Enterprise Bargaining Agreement (EBA), which took a bit longer than anticipated. However, once it was properly configured, the system has performed smoothly and reliably. Overall, Employment Hero has streamlined our processes and saved us time. ----- Page: 1 / 11\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/144645/employment-hero?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/144645/employment-hero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
