About Employment Hero

Employment Hero is a cloud-based HR, payroll and employment platform based in Sydney, Australia, used primarily by small and medium-sized businesses. Marketed as an all‑in‑one Employment Operating System (eOS), it combines core HR (onboarding, leave, policies, compliance), payroll and rostering, recruitment and applicant tracking, performance management, employee benefits and engagement features. Employment Hero is sold on a business-to-business (B2B) basis, so charges typically relate to a company account rather than to an individual consumer subscription.

A charge from Employment Hero may appear on a bank or card statement when a business pays for its HR/payroll subscription, adds new employees (per‑employee fees), upgrades to additional modules (such as payroll, Global Teams/EOR, or advanced HR features), or renews an annual plan. Charges are commonly billed monthly or annually and can change as headcount changes, because many plans are priced per active employee. You might also see temporary authorisation holds or small test amounts when first adding or updating a payment method, as well as pro‑rated charges if your plan or user numbers changed mid‑billing cycle.

To verify an Employment Hero charge, first check whether your organisation uses Employment Hero for HR, payroll or timesheets, and confirm with your finance, payroll or HR team. Logged‑in administrators can review invoices and billing history via the Employment Hero web dashboard under Billing/Subscription or Account settings, where you’ll see plan type, per‑employee charges and billing dates. If anything looks incorrect, your nominated account administrator can contact Employment Hero support via the in‑app help widget or at employmenthero.com by accessing the Help Centre and submitting a support request, including invoice numbers, charge dates and the last four digits of the card used to speed up resolution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my business credit card being charged by Employment Hero?

Employment Hero charges businesses for their HR, payroll and related modules, typically on a monthly or annual subscription basis. The amount usually reflects your current plan and the number of active employees, plus any paid add‑ons such as payroll, rostering, Global Teams (EOR) or advanced HR features. Review your Employment Hero billing page or recent invoices to see which subscription and headcount the charge corresponds to.

What are typical Employment Hero subscription charges and how are they calculated?

Employment Hero pricing is usually a combination of a base platform fee plus a per‑employee, per‑month charge, with different tiers for HR-only, HR + Payroll, and more advanced ‘all‑in‑one’ or Global Teams plans. The total on your statement can change month‑to‑month as your active employee count changes or if you enable/disable modules. For exact current pricing and what your business has subscribed to, log into the admin portal and open the Billing or Subscription section, where each invoice lists the plan, headcount and billing period.

Why did my Employment Hero charge increase compared to last month?

Increases usually occur when you add more employees, turn on an additional module (like payroll or rostering), or move to a higher plan tier. Employment Hero bills based on active employees within the billing cycle, so hiring new staff or reactivating users can raise the monthly total. Check your latest invoice in the platform to see a breakdown of active employees and any new add‑ons that may have affected the amount.

How do I cancel or downgrade my Employment Hero subscription to stop future charges?

Only an account owner or billing/admin user can cancel or change the subscription. Log into Employment Hero, go to Settings or Billing/Subscription, and follow the prompts to downgrade your plan or request cancellation, noting any required notice periods. Your access typically continues until the end of the current paid billing cycle, and you remain responsible for charges up to the effective cancellation date. If you’re unsure who your account owner is, check with your internal HR/payroll or finance team.

How can I get a refund or dispute an Employment Hero charge?

Refunds are generally handled case‑by‑case and are more likely when there has been a clear billing error, duplicate charge or technical issue, rather than for past periods of valid use. First review your invoices inside Employment Hero to confirm what was billed and why; then have your authorised admin submit a support ticket through the Employment Hero Help Centre with invoice numbers, dates, and a description of the issue. Avoid disputing the payment directly with your bank until you’ve contacted Employment Hero support, as chargebacks can complicate or delay resolution.

Why do I see a small or pending Employment Hero transaction on my account?

Employment Hero may place a small temporary authorisation or test charge when you first add or update a payment card, or when a regular subscription payment is being verified by your bank. These pending amounts are not final charges and should either drop off or convert into the actual subscription invoice within a few business days. If a pending amount remains for longer than your bank’s standard timeframe, check your Billing page and, if needed, have your account admin contact Employment Hero support with a screenshot of the transaction.

How can I see invoices and receipts for Employment Hero charges?

Invoices and receipts are available to account owners and billing/admin users in the Employment Hero web portal. After logging in, go to Billing/Subscription or Account > Invoices, where you can view, download and export PDF invoices showing dates, plan details, employee counts and tax information. Use these invoices to reconcile the amounts on your bank or card statement and to assist your accountant or finance team.

What should I do if I don’t recognise an Employment Hero charge at all?

First confirm whether your company, a subsidiary, or an entity that shares your card details uses Employment Hero for HR or payroll—charges are often made on a central business card by HR or finance. Check with colleagues who manage HR/payroll or accounts payable, and compare the statement date and amount with any Employment Hero invoices. If no one in your organisation recognises the account, contact Employment Hero via their Help Centre with the transaction date, amount, currency, and the first/last few characters of the statement description so they can search for the related account; also inform your bank if you suspect unauthorised use of your card.
