## Reviews

### "Soltuion to our Cost Centre Reporting\!" — 5.0/5

> **Rania** | *06 November 2020* | Legal Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Most likeable feature we found in the system for our organisation is the easy integration of our Bookkeeping software and the ability to import the payroll journal.  That made our cost centre reporting very easy and accurate.
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if it can be linked to the Outlook Calendar\!
> 
> We've been using Employment Hero for more than two years now. We started with one entity and then decided to move all our entities to it.  The HR and Payroll platforms are very easy to navigate.  We very much benefited from the Cost Centre Reporting and integrating that with our Bookkeeping software made our reporting very easy.  The HR platform is our employees first point of contact to find any data about our organisation, policies and procedure, agreements... etc.  On top of that most of our employees are finding it much easier to track their Leave balances and status through the mobile app.&#10;The Online Support is very quick in general and there is always a solution to any query we put through to the team,&#10;Overall, a great deal to our organisation\!

### "Growing and Learning Together" — 5.0/5

> **Susanna** | *18 September 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Very helpful with initial set up, outstanding customer service. Some glitches here and there but constantly growing and improving the system day by day. &#10;&#10;I also appreciate that payroll becomes a lot simpler now, especially when they want to get their payment breakdown when it comes to their salary, allowance and commissions.
> 
> **Cons**: The flowover from the two websites and certain limitations because of the linkage of 2 websites. I would appreciate if more features were available in the app instead of just desktop/website version.
> 
> It's been a sharp learning curve, but appreciate EH's help to educate me on how the system works, how it benefits me and how my company can cut down time and improve better time efficiency
