What clients say about our work

Employment Star turned around a challenging Employment Hero HR implementation for Olssons with exceptional professionalism and expertise. From day one, their team brought clarity, structure, and deep platform knowledge to the project. They stabilised our setup, cleaned up legacy configuration issues, and provided tailored training to ensure our team could confidently manage the system and leverage best-practice HR processes day to day. They have been absolutely invaluable throughout this journey—responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in our success. The entire Olsson team loves working with Employment Star. We are now partnering with Employment Star for ongoing support and outsourced HR services, given the trust and confidence they’ve built. Fast, efficient, reliable, and cost effective—Employment Star has been a game-changer for our HR operations, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any business implementing or optimising Employment Hero.

Alexandra Olsson

Director at Olsson’s

“Employment Star stepped in at the last minute when we were facing time critical HR and payroll issues. Their team of Employment Hero experts fixed the problems, trained us in best-practice use of the system, and delivered our first pay-run within three days. The service was fast, efficient, reliable and cost-effective, especially compared with other providers that quoted higher fees and longer wait times. I would highly recommend Employment Star to any business seeking a swift, expert, and value-for-money Employment Hero implementation or ongoing HR and payroll support.”

Andrew Rasby

GENERAL MANAGER, ORTUS FINANCIAL

Employment Star quickly resolved our Employment Hero HR and payroll platform issues, then trained our team to maximise the system’s benefits. We have retained them for ongoing consulting and are exploring outsourced HR/payroll services given the quality and reliability of their support. Their expertise, responsiveness and value for money have been outstanding, I highly recommend Employment Star.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an Employment Hero implementation take?

Most implementations are completed within 2-4 weeks depending on complexity. Multi-site implementations with complex award structures may take 4-6 weeks. We provide a specific timeline during your free consultation and commit to it.

What exactly is included in the implementation?

Everything: initial scoping, full system configuration, payroll & HR setup, data migration from your current system, accounting software integration (Xero, MYOB, QBO), parallel payroll testing, staff training for all roles, go-live support, and 30 days of post-implementation support.

Do you handle data migration from our current system?

Yes. We migrate all employee records, pay history, leave balances, superannuation details, and tax information. We verify accuracy through parallel payroll runs before go-live — so you know the numbers are right before switching over.

Is training included or does it cost extra?

Training is always included. Every implementation comes with tailored sessions for administrators, managers, and employees. We ensure your team is confident and self-sufficient before we hand over. No hidden costs.

What if something goes wrong after go-live?

Every implementation includes 30 days of dedicated post-go-live support. You get direct access to your implementation consultant for quick answers and issue resolution. We also offer ongoing support packages for continued assistance.

How much does an Employment Hero implementation cost?

Pricing depends on business size, employee count, complexity of awards, and modules needed. We offer transparent, fixed-price quotes — no hourly billing surprises. Contact us for a free consultation and obligation-free quote.

Can you integrate with our accounting software?

Yes. We fully integrate Employment Hero with Xero, MYOB, and QuickBooks Online. This includes chart of accounts mapping, automated journal posting, and payroll reconciliation setup.

What if we already have EH but it was set up poorly?

Very common. We offer a System Health Check & Remediation service. We audit your current configuration, identify errors and inefficiencies, and fix everything — often faster and cheaper than starting from scratch.
