HERAPayroll System for Businesses in Australia
Big HR software platforms can be costly, and they often need extra people to run them. You pay for each module, and you may need an admin or consultant to keep it all working. For an Australian business with shift staff and casual pay rates, that is hard to justify. HERA takes the weight off. It handles PAYG, super, leave, and penalty rates. Our dedicated HR support team sets it up with you and is there when questions come up. Rostering and asset management come at no extra cost.
What is a payroll system?
A payroll system works out each person's pay, takes off tax and other deductions, and creates the payslip. HERA does this for Australian businesses using the rules you set up. It handles full-time, part-time, and casual staff, overtime, allowances, and leave. It also keeps a clear record of every pay run.
HERA is customized. Your pay rates, pay cycle, and approval steps are set up around your award or agreement and the way your business runs.
What HERA can handle for Australian payroll
- Hourly, salaried, and casual pay
- Overtime, penalty rates, and allowances you set up
- PAYG withholding
- Superannuation contributions
- Annual leave and personal leave balances
- Leave loading
- Payslips that employees can open themselves
- Payroll reports for your accountant
Rates, thresholds, and award rules change. HERA lets you update them, and your team checks each run. HERA prepares the figures and reports. Tell us how you lodge Single Touch Payroll today, and we will explain how HERA fits.
Who is this payroll system for?
HERA is built for businesses of every size, from small teams to large enterprises. It is a good fit if you:
- Have casual or shift workers with different pay rates
- Run payroll weekly, fortnightly, or monthly
- Have staff in more than one state or territory
- Do not want to hire an admin just to run the software
- Have a team overseas and want one system for everyone
