### "Employment Hero Feedback"

February 13, 2020

5.0

The most productive aspect for us was the new employee boarding component of the software. It has saved us so much time.

Pros

Very easy to use, templates for all scenarios and with the prospect of more functionalities for us to use down the track.

Cons

sometimes syncing with accounting software takes an extra step, however i think this is all dependant on the internet - on the day.

Reason for choosing Employment Hero

Being an ANZ business Customer made this option more affordable.

### "Employment Hero has been a platform that has taken hours off my daily work load "

August 8, 2017

4.0

Pros

Using Employment Hero to track my staff's qualifications, certificates and rostering, this platform allow me to be secure in knowing that my staff meet compliance standards

Cons

Our business is slightly different to the norm of organisations using this platform with our staff doing over night shift work and a number of staff being casual there is some gaps in the rostering and time sheet features.

February 4, 2020

5.0

Overall this software has given me time to focus on other priorities within the business and being able to keep our employees informed via Shout Out and Announcements. It has also given our department managers the autonomy to manage their own teams.

Pros

I really liked the fact that employees enter their own data and that I can schedule & assign tasks eg; performance reviews.

Cons

I sometimes find it hard to navigate to what I need to do eg; sending a review and where it is located.

Reason for choosing Employment Hero

The support and communication provided by Employment Hero was exceptional and the weekly catchups via phone link were invaluable.

Seeing that the platform has given you more time to focus on other areas of the business is exactly what we like to hear! Even better that your managers have been able to have more visibility over their reports. Thank you again for your review, The Employment Hero Team

March 25, 2020

5.0

All of your documents are in one location and you can run reports on who has completed what modules.

Pros

Access on any device and keep up to date with all leave applications. Having access to real live data enables you to be able to plan ahead with not only your leave but other members of your team.

Cons

Nothing, this covers all that the average employee needs to use as well as the applications that the HR team need to use on their level.

### "Overall, my experience with EH has been very positive"

November 29, 2017

4.0

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.

January 6, 2022

4.0

I can only repeat my earlier comment. Just seems to always be there when I need payment to employee worked out , also if someone doesn't comply with job duties or just mess up , Employment Hero helps with what to do or say that way everyone is in understanding with the problem and then an easy solution

Pros

Just seems to always be there when I need payment to employee worked out , also if someone doesn't comply with job duties or just mess up , Employment Hero helps with what to do or say that way everyone is in understanding with the problem and then an easy solution.

Cons

Everything that's have used E.H it's been there. So I cant say nothing bad about it. I would tell an issue if I had one. I just don't. Good job and thank you for having my back.

### "Employment Hero Review"

June 7, 2019

4.0

It has made my job so much easier in relation to HR. It saves me time, money and overall my employees are happier using the system and being able to have everything in one place and online.

Pros

It is easy to use and simplifies a lot of what would be manual processes when it comes to HR and on-boarding of staff.

Cons

There is so much more you could do with this platform - expense claims for example. Also letting people know when there is another Beta option to try out, I have rung up in the past to find out about any.

All staff bundy on, easy to approve timesheets. No more having to spot staff money they can now log on and do it themselves.

Pros

The ease of onboarding new employees. Ability to see at a glance if a staff member has not acknowledged a document.

5.0

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

### "EH HR keeps me organised"

October 5, 2018

4.0

Since moving to EH we have improved our on-boarding process, and staff inductions are now more comprehensive and more efficient. The timesheets and Clock me In features allow employees to easily and quickly record their hours in just a couple of clicks, saving time for them, their manager and for payroll.

Pros

Employees are readily and easily accessing their files and up to date HR information directly.

Cons

Some features could be further improved, such as being able to maintain and update documents directly on EH.

November 19, 2017

It's paperless and easy to use. We can onboard and offboard employees faster.

Pros

\* Easy to use \* It improved a lot in the last year. \* No need to fill forms for the Tax declaration \* Paperless

Cons

\* The custom reports need to improve. Now we have the option to hide the people who were terminated but still appearing the ones who resigned, etc. \* Some settings are not straightforward

### "We implemented Employment Hero in August 2017 and it has really helped streamline our HR practices. "

January 15, 2018

5.0

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.

### "EH platform made HR record keeping easy"

November 26, 2018

5.0

Pros

Document control of company policies, record keeping of HR documents, leave management etc. Tasks traditionally took many hours are now done paperless and there'll be no argument that the employees have not received documents.

Cons

Understanding 'variables' in the contract template was a little hard because I couldn't find answers by going through 'Help' or manager's manual. I was preparing a contract for one of managers and it kept revering to my position/my name instead of the manager's. Once I figured out why it was doing that, it was all fine but perhaps this needs to be added to user's manual. One thing I'd like to have in EH platform is a new employee to acknowledge that he/she received an induction. I know I can assign induction tasks to my team members but from what I can see, there's no area for the new employee to acknowledge that he/she received the induction. So I'm still getting a paper checklist signed by the new employee and uploading the record.

### "Easy Peasy"

July 8, 2019

5.0

Plug and play software for HR, can upload toolbox or site inductions for remote employees in the field to complete wherever they are! Hero shop gives us as small employers the same advantage as big business we can entice top employees to stay because they have the same benefits and discounts from the platform. A happy employee is a productive employee - Thanks Hero!

Pros

Easy HR Docs, templates in the box software, just add company logos and additional company details or leave out what isn't relevant - easy peasy!

Cons

Integration with payroll is still a little clunky - Admin/owner have duplicate file, ended employees show as errors. Payslips do not show annual leave balances. In time I am sure this will be resolved

July 5, 2019

5.0

Prior to EH we had a lot of checklists and no real way to track all of our Induction compliances and contracts/information. We now have it all in one place, where everyone can see the information and all checklists are allocated where they need to be automatically.

Pros

The software is easy to set up, easy to use and has a huge amount of functionality

Cons

There are a few little things like not being able to have a contractor as a manager, or not being able to version induction documents but they are minor and there are workarounds

March 31, 2019

4.0

With EH I have saved an enormous amount of time with HR paperwork. Once you have the EH system populated and fully functional, it's a breeze. Basically, it's all there for you. Great work EH.

Pros

User friendly. Ease of use. Functionality. Support Team go out of their way to assist in solving any problems. EH are innovative in updating the product by including new features. EH provide webinars for Admins to view and learn.

Cons

There are some minor problems: 1. Employee names do not appear in alphabetical order of surname. This is problematic, as all payroll and HR systems are based on alpha surname. 2. Sometimes support take a little long to respond.
