New Settings Look & Feel

The Settings page on the Employment Hero platform has been updated to a new user interface. This change affects where certain settings appear and the steps you take.

  • Organisations created after 15 May 2025 automatically see this new page.
  • Older organisations created before 15 May 2025 can turn the new Settings UI change on. To do this, click the beta flask icon beside the notification bell icon at the top right part of your screen. Click the on switch for "New Settings Look & Feel." This new look will automatically be turned on for everyone on 12 November 2025.

You can add locations to the Employment Hero platform from anywhere in the world. When you include a location from a supported region, such as the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, or Singapore, Employment Hero automatically populates employees' profiles with relevant country-specific features. Setting up locations also enables you to link employees to location-specific public holiday calendars, ensuring accurate leave management.
