Employment Hero: research & sources

HeroForce has detailed employment and data terms, but it differs from Employment Hero's standard HR software. Fee schedules, EOR-specific permissions and exit charges deserve close attention.

At a glance

Global EOR

Consider for
Employers considering EOR as part of a broader HR platform and comfortable with employment-team-controlled changes.
Main trade-off
Client-initiated exits within six months can attract a separate fee, and service obligations continue until lawful offboarding; liability and claim-control provisions retain material client exposure.

Country fit & local delivery

Identity brand and coverage

Global Teams is now HeroForce EOR, with the older help centre explicitly recording the replacement by December2025. Current pages claim180+ countries; older Singapore country list is dated September2022 and says partners may supply countries without an entity. This establishes a mixed entity/partner model, not180owned employers or tested country quality. Remote Hero Australia is an EH entity, unrelated to Remote.com.

Research finding · Sources

Onboarding and approval workflow

Current request workflow captures country, gross salary, mandatory/optional costs, residency, work eligibility, hours, probation, leave and local benefits. EH checks local compliance, client signs proposal and separately approves worker contract before employee signature/onboarding. Permission groups may delegate these actions. Terms treat account approvals as binding authority; no universal onboarding-time guarantee or hands-on test.

Published documents do not establish negotiated terms or tested performance. Customer claims remain unverified accounts; no population failure rate inferred.

Country eligibility and mobility

Global pathway requires worker tax residence in named territory and notice for work travel exceeding30days in12months. Worker cannot bind client commercial contracts or receive power of attorney. EH disclaims permanent-establishment mitigation. Client must verify right to work; higher-risk duties/on-supply need consent. No complete visa sponsorship, legal-employer/licence or occupation matrix obtained; published180+coverage is a claim.

Legal entity and nominees

HeroForce terms name Remote Hero Australia Ltd and affiliates, with actual contracting EH entity specified per proposal/worker schedule. ABR60644097978 identifies active Remote Hero (Australia) Pty Ltd from September7 2020; group statement confirms affiliation. Name wording differs and actual schedule must identify exact entity. Nominees can be affiliates or third parties; EH retains responsibility and may replace them on reasonable notice with payroll/record transition.

Costs, deposits & currency

Published price and fee basis

HeroForce advertises a5% payroll fee with comparative savings claims; no independently verified savings calculation. Terms define management-fee base as gross wages including bonuses/commissions/allowances plus statutory pension, excluding reimbursed expenses, with actual percentage in proposal. Taxes, total employment costs and separately scheduled operational charges apply. This is not a fixed per-person EOR price or proof of all-in5% cost. Existing contracts and SaaS subscriptions may differ.

Audit/questionnaire normally no more than annually,at customer cost with prior reports potentially supplied. Written-request data return/deletion after service within agreed/reasonable period,legal retention exception; no universal numeric retention deadline or full employment-transfer guarantee.

Deposit and funding

HeroForce terms require cleared security deposit of one month total employment cost including variable pay before first start; may increase on7days notice for cost/accrual/risk changes. Global invoice normally issued at least7businessdays before payroll, cleared funds due5businessdays before. Transfers/currency fees fall to client; special payments may need prefunding. Generic deposit refund deadline, ring-fencing and insolvency protection not established; local-pathway accrual surplus clause is not a universal global deposit refund promise.

FX rate and margin

Terms use prevailing market rate at draw plus an FX Handling Margin in the unavailable Fee Schedule; no named benchmark or numeric margin. Client bears invoice-to-conversion movement. Nominee rates can pass through without additional EH margin, not necessarily without underlying spread. Worker schedule may include FX buffers. Provider-selected case quote about easy currency handling does not establish competitive executed rates.

Client-initiated Global-pathway termination within first6months, excluding resignation, incurs an Early Termination Fee. Annual management-fee increase after first anniversary may be the greater of CPI or5%, with30days notice.

Commitment and transfer

Master terms convenience termination requires30days notice only after all employee contracts and material obligations ended. EOR page offers help moving to own entity, but no binding fee-free migration timetable obtained. Client-fault termination may force transfer/redundancy at client expense. Generic software finance FAQ has initial12month commitments/minimum-headcount/arrears and payout rules; HeroForce billing says SaaS agreements remain separate, so those are not assumed universal EOR terms.

Termination governance

Only resignation can be initiated directly in HeroForce UI, requiring signed letter to EH,notice/last day,leave balance and review. Other termination/redundancy goes through EH before employee communication. Terms normally require proposed notice14days before non-misconduct dismissal,EH termination plan and fees until legally complete; statutory exit costs paid by client. Philippines probation help stresses early HR escalation and contract-specific notice; guide is provider advice, not independent legal validation.

Client-initiated Global-pathway termination within first6months, excluding resignation, incurs an Early Termination Fee. Annual management-fee increase after first anniversary may be the greater of CPI or5%, with30days notice.

Capterra refund and payroll cases

Evelina in December 2023 alleges payment for unavailable promised services and continuing subscription charges despite a stop assurance. The provider response dated August 2024 says the payroll issue was resolved and a refund processed; customer confirmation and transaction documents were not captured. Rajesh in November 2023 praises configurable payroll but alleges post-KeyPay-takeover slowness prevented pay runs meeting bank cutoffs and some staff were not paid. Provider points to status/support without a confirmed resolution. Both are adjacent payroll software reports, syndicated from GetApp and SoftwareAdvice respectively; Rajesh’s displayed five-star rating is retained despite the critical narrative.

Employee data & security

Customer data not used to train AI; platform AI providers prohibited from retaining beyond output. Some core AI features cannot be opted out; recruitment scoring requires human oversight. Subprocessor changes require subscription for notice,30day documented objection and up to60day workaround; the previously inaccessible public HR subprocessor roster is now fully read (57 entries).
