Further information
On the Free plan, you are limited to two admins. To change ownership, Employment Hero requires written permission from the current owner, including the new owner's email address. The new owner must already be listed as an employee in Employment Hero. Send these requests to our support team.
By default, account owners have admin access and if you need to change the owner (who is currently an admin), you can refer to this article: Change a business owner FAQ.
Account owners have the Admin section of their employment details set to no - but if you are an account owner, you will have admin status by default.
The following information is hidden/displayed based on your Privacy Mode settings:
- Employee scorecard
- Termination details
- Salary details
