How do I log in to Employment Hero?

Step-by-step login instructions for employees

  • Open your browser and go to the official login page: employmenthero.com/login (global) or your region-specific portal (see next section).
  • Enter the email address your employer used to invite you — this serves as your username. Employment Hero Guided Onboarding Journey (official help)
  • Click Forgot Password if you haven’t set one yet; you’ll receive a Reset Password Instructions email.
  • Open the emailed link, create a new password, and you’re in.
The catch

Your login email is the same address your employer has on file. If you can’t receive reset emails, ask your HR admin to verify your email in the system.

Using the Employment Hero mobile app to log in

  • Download the Employment Hero Work app from Google Play (official listing, last updated 6 days ago).
  • The app description says it gives you “everything work in one easy app” — payslips, benefits, and communication.
  • Log in with the same email and password you use on the web portal.

Troubleshooting common login errors

  • Forgotten password: Use the Forgot Password link on the login page. Check your spam folder for the reset email.
  • Account locked: After multiple failed attempts, your account may be locked. Wait 30 minutes or contact your admin.
  • Browser issues: Enable cookies and try a different browser. Employment Hero recommends up-to-date Chrome or Firefox.
  • Wrong portal: If you’re in Australia, use yourpayroll.com.au; if in Malaysia, use yourpayroll.io; if in New Zealand, use nzpayroll.co.nz.

The implication: most login problems stem from using the wrong regional portal or a forgotten password. Nailing down the correct URL saves time.

What are the different Employment Hero login portals?

Australia portal: employmenthero.yourpayroll.com.au

  • Employers and employees in Australia access payroll and HR through yourpayroll.com.au.
  • This portal handles PAYG, superannuation, and Single Touch Payroll reporting.

Malaysia portal: employmentheromy.yourpayroll.io

  • For operations in Malaysia, the portal is yourpayroll.io.
  • Supports EPF, SOCSO, and EIS compliance.

New Zealand portal: employmenthero.nzpayroll.co.nz

  • New Zealand users log in at nzpayroll.co.nz.
  • Includes KiwiSaver and PAYE tax calculations.

Global portal: employmenthero.com

  • The main marketing and account management site is Employment Hero (all-in-one HR platform).
  • From here you can access the Implementation Hub, support, and launch your account.

What this means: your region determines your login URL. Using the wrong one often results in a redirect or a login failure. Bookmark the correct portal for your country.

How do I sign up for Employment Hero?

Creating an employer account

  • Visit Employment Hero (official site) and click Get Started or Start Free Trial.
  • Fill in your company details, choose a plan (trial or paid), and set up your account.
  • Once activated, you can invite employees via email from the dashboard.

Employee registration via invitation

  • Your employer sends an invitation email containing a link to the onboarding portal.
  • Click the link, set your password, and follow the six-step onboarding flow described by Employment Hero Launching Guide (official documentation).
  • Steps include verifying personal details, confirming working rights, entering super/KiwiSaver info, and uploading certifications if required.

Free trial and pricing options

  • Employment Hero offers a free trial period (length varies by region).
  • Paid plans start after trial and scale with employee count.
  • No credit card is required to start the trial according to the website.

The trade-off: signing up takes only minutes for employers, but employees must complete the full onboarding flow before they can access payroll and benefits features.

“All-In-One HR, Payroll & Hiring Platform”

— Employment Hero website (official homepage)

“Everything work in one easy app”

— Google Play Store description (official app listing)

For employers in the APAC region, the choice is clear: bookmarked regional portals and a simple email login flow keep teams productive. For employees, the one‑time onboarding investment — setting a password, verifying working rights, uploading certifications — unlocks a unified workspace. The alternative is hunting across three domains and waiting on support chat, which costs hours.
