Case Study: Fonda Mexican achieves efficient VEVO checks and streamlined HR & payroll with Employment Hero

Fonda Mexican Uses Employment Hero for Efficient VEVO Checks

Fonda Mexican, a fast-casual restaurant group operating in Sydney and Melbourne with 250+ employees, faced high turnover and the operational burden of managing a seasonal, largely migrant workforce — including right-to-work (VEVO) checks, rapid onboarding and strict compliance. To address this, Fonda Mexican has used Employment Hero (Payroll Premium) since 2016 to centralise HR and payroll processes.

Employment Hero implemented Single Touch Payroll, automated VEVO checks that populate employee files, 30- and 7-day expiry reminders, custom reporting and automated contracts and offer letters. The result: hours saved on manual compliance tasks, streamlined payroll and onboarding for 300+ staff, and all employee documentation in one place — enabling Fonda Mexican to stay compliant and manage high turnover far more efficiently with Employment Hero.
