Case Study: Lawson Grains Streamlines HR and Payroll with Employment Hero

Lawson Grains grows efficiently with Employment Hero

Lawson Grains, one of Australia’s largest corporate farming operations, was struggling to manage a fast-growing, seasonal workforce across sites in Western Australia and New South Wales. With HR and payroll processes becoming increasingly manual and time-consuming, the team needed a more efficient way to handle recruitment, onboarding, compliance, and payroll. Employment Hero provided its Premium HR and Platinum Payroll solution to support their expanding people operations.

With Employment Hero, Lawson Grains streamlined recruitment, cutting admin by up to 80% and reducing job ad posting to under five minutes through a centralised ATS. The platform also helped tailor payroll for complex pay conditions, manage certifications and training, and automate compliance checks like VEVO. As a result, Lawson Grains improved efficiency, professionalism, and visibility across the business while saving significant time for its HR team.
