  1. Log in to the Employment Hero web platform. 
  2. On the left-hand side menu, click on Settings.
  3. Click on Menu.
  4. Untick the Expenses check box.

  6. Now your employees will no longer be able to see expenses in Employment Hero and the Employment Hero Work app.
Why can't my employees see the correct expense categories in their accounts?

If your employee cannot see the expense category that they wish to use on their account, try to re-sync from payroll to ensure the expense categories on payroll match the available expense categories on Employment Hero. See this article for full details.

If you use Employment Hero only (not attached to a payroll account), then you will manage the expense categories from within the Settings section of Employment Hero. see this article for further details.
