Employment Hero Payroll Feb 2025 Feature Updates

Employment Hero (EH) have enhanced payroll reporting with more flexibility. In this latest update, users with File Export or Detailed File Export integrations can now set up Employing Entity Specific Accounts in their Chart of Accounts (CoA). This means businesses operating across multiple entities can generate more precise and compliant reports without manual data adjustments.

 

Users can define accounts per employing entity, ensuring payroll journals reflect accurate financial data for each entity.

This update provides deeper insights and streamlines financial reporting, making decision-making easier.

Employment Hero has introduced a new feature to help users unlock unprocessed back pay records when adjustments are needed.

Users can now unlock back pay records that are complete but have at least one employee's back pay not yet applied in a pay run. Here’s what can be edited in an unlocked back pay record:

• Delete the employee's back pay.
• Override the pay rate or total lump sum.
• Change the effective date and recalculate the back pay.

The change from Swag to Employment Hero Work reflects the commitment to:

• Unify the user experience: Uniting under one Employment Hero brand is key to building recognition and ensuring a clear, consistent understanding of our offering for employers, employees, partners, and job seekers.

• Streamline support and resources: Supporting two brand identities has created inefficiencies in our operations. By bringing everything under the Employment Hero brand, we believe we’ll be able to move quicker to achieve our goals of making employment easier for everyone.
