What is Employment Hero?

Employment Hero is a complete Employment Operating System, combining hiring, HR, payroll, and benefits. It’s one scalable solution for your business employment needs, and amongst its many functions, acts as leave management software to help you effectively deal with employee vacations, sick leave, and other types of entitlements.

You can combine Employment Hero with Projectworks, which is a project intelligence solution built for professional services firms. Projectworks tackles all of your project admin, from timecards and resourcing, through to invoicing, reporting, and revenue forecasting.

How does the Projectworks and Employment Hero integration work?

Leave setup, accruals, and requests can be managed entirely in Employment Hero, and Projectworks will be updated to reflect employee availability. This informs resourcing and reporting, so you always know staff availability and how this impacts your organization's capacity.

With a clear understanding of leave into the horizon, you’re able to mitigate the impacts of this leave on active and scheduled projects. Employee leave is up-to-date in Projectworks and exports to payroll are accurate.

Please note that you will need an Employment Hero Plus subscription (or above) to enable this integration. Explore the full integration details in our knowledge base article.

Why should I connect Projectworks and Employment Hero?

Employee absences that aren’t tracked (i.e. those that fall through the cracks by being managed in a spreadsheet or not syncing from your leave software to Projectworks) will negatively impact your project deadline. You’ll be scrambling to cover their hours, and the work may go uncompleted.

They will also will lower your profit margin if you need to bring in an experienced contractor to fill the gaps, but still need to bill your client at the initial, agreed-upon rate.

Automatically track employee absences

By automatically pulling employee leave through from Employment Hero into Projectworks, you’ll have an up-to-date leave calendar and a clear view into your projects' futures, mitigating any impact on project deadlines and profitability.

Our webhook functionality automatically syncs the two platforms so you (and your employees) don’t have to waste time entering data twice.

Accurately resource your projects

Efficiently resource your projects with a clear view of employee capacity. You’ll avoid the risk of unexpected delays for both active and planned projects, and keep your work progressing smoothly.

Increase staff productivity with an integrated system

Improve employee satisfaction and efficiency with an easy-to-use services ecosystem that your team will love. Employees can be confident their leave requests will be seen and factored into their work capacity, saving them from being over-allocated - always a stressful scenario!

And as a project manager, you won’t be surprised by leave that falls through the cracks.
