The connection
How does Horizon actually get into Employment Hero?
Horizon connects through Employment Hero's official API, the same doorway its other connected apps use, available on eligible plans. Because HR records are sensitive, we keep the access narrow: only the records the approved workflow needs, under the roles and permissions your team already controls.

What Horizon can prepare
Leave and timesheet updates, employee documents, and drafted reminders for HR to send. Horizon shows each item to HR before anything is saved.
How work can start
Employment Hero can tell Horizon when supported employee events happen, so a checklist or reminder is ready for HR review without anyone having to ask.
What we confirmed about the Employment Hero connection
- Access needs an eligible Employment Hero plan, and what a connection may touch is fixed when it is approved rather than quietly widened later.
- Employment Hero keeps connections deliberately short-lived, which suits sensitive HR records.
- Each proposed trigger is matched against the events Employment Hero actually announces, rather than assuming every change sends one.
- Payroll, tax, bank and identity details sit behind the tightest access, with a person governing every use.

Common questions
Using Horizon with Employment Hero, answered.
What could our team ask Horizon to do with Employment Hero?
Coordinate approved employee, leave, timesheet, certification and document workflows with Microsoft 365 while keeping sensitive HR data tightly limited. Typical results include a controlled onboarding checklist ready to approve, an expiry list with reminders prepared for HR, and a leave and timesheet exception report.
Can our team use Employment Hero from Microsoft Teams?
Yes, after the agreed access is approved. Your team asks Horizon in Teams, Horizon checks the approved Employment Hero information and connected systems, then returns the answer or proposed action for review.
Can Horizon use Employment Hero with Outlook, SharePoint or our other software?
Yes. We design one workflow around Employment Hero and the other approved systems your team relies on, so the result can use the relevant information without staff opening each system separately.
Can Horizon prepare changes in Employment Hero, not just answer questions?
Yes, where Employment Hero supports the agreed action. Horizon prepares the change, shows it to the right person and applies it only under the permissions and review rules agreed for the workflow.
What would we start with in Employment Hero?
We start with one useful, controlled request such as: @Horizon, prepare the Microsoft 365, Teams and SharePoint onboarding checklist for this approved new employee. Show me the access list before any request is sent. The first version stays narrow enough to test with real staff and real review steps.
What access is needed before work starts?
Access depends on an eligible Employment Hero plan. Because HR and payroll records are sensitive, we minimise the data used and keep every action within approved staff permissions.
Does Horizon replace Employment Hero?
No. Employment Hero remains the system your team uses. Horizon connects only the approved data and actions needed for the agreed workflow.
How does Horizon keep the Employment Hero workflow safe?
We agree exactly which records, people and actions are in scope. We test one limited workflow with approved examples, keep important changes behind human review and expand only after the pilot is working properly.
