The news: Employment services platform Employment Hero has released a fully-managed software model, HeroForce, designed to automate complex regulatory requirements for Australian businesses.
The context: HeroForce is an AI-powered co-employment model that positions itself as the legal employer for businesses. Under this model, it manages payroll, compliance and HR administration, while firms maintain full operational control of their workplace.
The software can interpret modern awards, develop rosters, automate payroll calculations and monitor compliance obligations across thousands of employees.
HeroForce has been designed to fully operate within Australia’s regulatory framework, as well as in New Zealand, the UK and Canada.
What they said: “The average SMB spends $40,000-$80,000 a year just to stay compliant with employment law. Running a business in Australia increasingly means becoming an expert in payroll, modern awards, Fair Work compliance and superannuation,” Employment Hero CEO Ben Thompson said.
“By removing the friction, employment becomes cheaper and simpler as decades of historical evidence tell us, businesses will employ more people to build more, serve more, expand into new areas. Every hour reclaimed from repetitive administration is an hour redirected to work that actually grows economies,” he added.
