ApproveThis manages your Employment Hero Payroll Software Integration approvals.

When Boring Software Gets Interesting

Let's be real – payroll software isn't exactly thrilling. But when you connect Employment Hero's muscle with ApproveThis' approval automation through Zapier, you get something rare: HR processes that actually work for you instead of against you.

Employment Hero handles the heavy lifting of pay runs and employee data. ApproveThis does one thing exceptionally well: making decisions happen faster. Together, they create guardrails for compliance while cutting through the red tape that bogs down mid-sized companies.

Why This Combo Doesn't Suck

Most integrations just move data between apps. This one actually changes how teams operate:

For the Overworked HR Manager

New hire approvals that used to take 3 days? Now they get done before your second coffee. Approvers don't need Employment Hero licenses – perfect for getting quick sign-offs from department heads or external partners.

For the Finance Team That Hates Surprises

Payroll approvals with built-in thresholds mean $5k bonuses get auto-approved per policy, while $50k requests escalate to the CFO. No more playing telephone with spreadsheets.

For the Operations Team Keeping Lights On

When pay runs get stuck in limbo, production halts. Real-time tracking in ApproveThis shows exactly where the bottleneck is – no more guessing games.

Actual Use Cases That Don't Feel Like Corporate BS

1. New Hire Onboarding That Doesn't Embarrass You

The Problem: Retail chain needs to onboard 50 seasonal workers fast, but execs keep "forgetting" to approve reqs.

The Fix: Zapier triggers an ApproveThis workflow when Employment Hero creates a new employee record. Department head gets an email approval button – clicks "yes" before their morning meeting. Bonus: Vacation delegation means approvals never wait for someone's Bali trip.

2. Payroll Audits That Actually Prevent Lawsuits

The Problem: Manufacturing company nearly got fined because a pay run was approved by someone without proper authority.

The Fix: When Employment Hero finalizes a pay run, ApproveThis:

• Checks amount against pre-set thresholds
• Routes to L2 approvers if over $250k
• Logs every decision with timestamps

All without the payroll team playing middleman.

3. Preventing "Oops I Approved the Wrong Thing"

The Problem: Accounting firm client complained about unauthorized pay rate changes.

The Fix: ApproveThis now handles all pay run initiations from Employment Hero. Partners get sequential approvals with calculated fields showing exact delta from previous payroll. Suspicious changes get flagged automatically.

Setting This Up Without Losing Your Mind

If you can make toast, you can connect these systems:

1. Create Zapier trigger from Employment Hero (pay run finalized/new employee/etc)
2. Map key data points to ApproveThis fields
3. Set approval rules once in ApproveThis

Pro tip: Use ApproveThis' conditional logic to handle edge cases – like automatically approving part-time hires under 20hrs/week while flagging full-time roles for extra scrutiny.

Features You'll Actually Use

Beyond basic approvals, this combo lets you:

• Auto-approve routine items: Standard pay runs under $X get greenlit instantly
• Force accountability: Every approval/rejection ties to a specific user with audit trails
• Kill approval spam: Calculated fields only escalate exceptions instead of every tiny change

Who Benefits (Besides Your Sanity)

HR Teams

Stop being the approval nag. Set up workflows once, then let managers handle approvals directly from their inbox. New hire paperwork gets signed off before the candidate ghosts you.

Finance Departments

Payroll errors drop because approvals require actual data validation. Custom thresholds prevent junior staff from OK'ing six-figure payments.

Operations Leaders

See approval bottlenecks in real-time dashboard. If payroll's stuck waiting on someone, reassign approvals in two clicks without IT help.

External Partners

Accounting firms love this – clients can approve payrolls directly via email without getting access to your Employment Hero system.

Why This Isn't Just Another Integration

Most app connections just shuffle data. This one actually enforces business rules:

When a pay run starts in Employment Hero, ApproveThis doesn't just notify people – it routes based on dollar amounts, checks against budgets, and ensures the right eyes see it. If your CFO is out, it auto-finds the backup without you lifting a finger.

The Bottom Line

Companies between 50-5000 employees use this combo to:

- Cut payroll approval time from days to hours
- Reduce compliance risks with audit-proof trails
- Eliminate "I didn't know I had to approve that" excuses

It's not magic – just smarter processes. The kind that make you look good without working weekends.
