New employees can use their Employment Hero account to enter all their personal details, including super and tax information, rather than filling out a mountain of paperwork on their first day. The HR platform will also submit these all electronically for you, reducing your administration overhead.
You can onboard employees via your Employee Onboarding widget on your dashboard. This widget also allows you to see what stage your employees are at in their onboarding journey and provides reminders to employees if they have yet to complete their onboarding workflow.
