Implementing Employment Hero automated cost allocation across entities, streamlined reimbursements, and simplified STP reporting. The client achieved faster payroll processing, accurate cost centre breakdowns, and reduced manual errors, improving overall efficiency, visibility, and compliance across its multi-entity operations.

How a Fast Food Chain Optimised Labour Cost Management

Challenges

Results

Befree streamlined labour cost calculations by adjusting for leave, worker compensation, and payroll taxes. Reports were customised with employee age distributions, enabling quicker, more accurate labour analysis and freeing up time for the client to focus on core operations.
