Case Study: Mount Lofty Estate unifies HR and payroll with Employment Hero

Mount Lofty Estate unifies HR and payroll in the cloud

Mount Lofty Estate, a hospitality business operating Mount Lofty House and Sequoia Luxury Lodge in Adelaide Hills, South Australia, needed a better way to manage HR and payroll for 160+ staff across multiple departments and locations. Before using Employment Hero, the finance team relied on legacy systems that made payroll, rostering, onboarding, and compliance management slow and manual, especially without a dedicated HR department.

Employment Hero provided a single cloud-based platform covering payroll, rostering, time and attendance, onboarding, and award compliance updates. Mount Lofty Estate now has full workforce visibility across both properties, 100% digital onboarding, and automated reporting that saves more than 520 hours annually, while also giving managers confidence that staff are paid correctly and compliance is up to date.
