Case Study: Shona Joy streamlines HR and payroll with Employment Hero

How Shona Joy dressed up HR

Shona Joy, the Sydney-based fashion label with 250+ employees, was struggling with paper-based HR and payroll processes that didn’t scale as the business grew. With manual leave forms, handwritten timesheets, and time-consuming onboarding, the team needed a more efficient way to manage HR and payroll. Employment Hero’s Premium Payroll + Platinum HR was chosen to replace the fragmented system.

Employment Hero implemented a single platform for HR, onboarding, payroll, compliance, performance, time tracking, and reporting. The result was a faster, more transparent employee experience, simpler leave and timesheet management, and major payroll efficiencies—Henry Shen said payroll could now be processed with one click, with gross pay, net pay, PAYG and super calculated automatically. Employment Hero also improved compliance and accuracy, including redundancy pay calculations, helping Shona Joy eliminate repetitive admin and streamline operations.
