Stop fixing payroll mistakes by hand.
Let the software handle it.

Most of the issues our calculators surface — award misclassification, miscalculated leave, missed super, incorrect overtime, unclear payslips — disappear when the underlying payroll and HR system handles them automatically. Employment Hero is the Australian platform that consistently does this for small and mid-sized businesses. We're an Authorised Employment Hero Partner: when we refer a business that becomes an Employment Hero customer, we receive a commission. The recommendation is editorial; the commission funds the free tools on this site.

Employment Hero is an award-winning, cloud-based payroll, HR and workforce management platform. It covers paperless employee onboarding, contract templates, rostering and timesheets, automated award interpretation, payroll runs, super and STP Phase 2 reporting, leave management, performance reviews, learning and development, organisational charts and the Employment Hero Work mobile app for employees. It supports businesses across Australia, New Zealand, the UK, Singapore and Malaysia.

Fill in the form below with your business and contact details and the products you'd like to hear about. We review every referral, then submit it to Employment Hero's partner team via their partner portal. An Employment Hero specialist contacts you to walk through the platform, scope your requirements and provide pricing. There's no obligation and no charge to you for being referred.

Only after you submit the form and tick the acknowledgement that you consent to be referred. Until that point your details stay with FairWork Mate. Once you submit, we forward your details to Employment Hero's partner team so they can contact you directly. Employment Hero's privacy policy governs how they handle your information from that point.

Employment Hero's strongest fit is Australian businesses with 5–500 employees that have outgrown spreadsheet payroll, want automated award interpretation, or need a single platform for HR, payroll, rostering and compliance. The Employment Hero Work mobile app makes it particularly strong for businesses with deskless or shift-based workers (hospitality, retail, healthcare, construction, transport, services).

Employment Hero pricing depends on company size, modules (payroll, HR, work-app) and contract length. Pricing is provided directly by Employment Hero's team after they understand your scope. FairWork Mate does not set the pricing and does not earn more if you pay more — our commission is a fixed referral structure with Employment Hero.

Of course. Employment Hero is publicly listed at employmenthero.com.au. If you go through our referral, we are able to flag specific challenges from your FairWork Mate session (e.g. award classification questions, leave entitlement complexity, underpayment risk) so the Employment Hero specialist can address them in the first conversation.
