The compliance advice is extremely detailed, up-to-date, and the digests about what is changing and when is so helpful. > > **Cons**: As a consultant that uses HR Hero in a way that most users probably don't utilize it, it is expensive for the way we use it (getting compliance updates, occasional exemption reports for workplaces) but I trust the source so much that I deal with the cost. > > Recent platform updates have made it easier to use than the previous iteration. I have been most satisfied with the exemption report tool as well as the support from employment lawyers on getting tough questions answered. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015616/hr-hero?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1015616/hr-hero) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
