What is Employment Hero?

Employment Hero's feed stays on career and wellbeing advice after its 2026 product recap.

Employment Hero's recent feed is almost entirely editorial: burnout, psychological safety, career planning, hiring costs and Australian award changes. The one product-relevant item in the window is the 2026 recap listing Hero AI, Recruitment Agent, HeroClear, Payroll Agent, HeroForce and Chat.

What is Miter?

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

Employment Hero vs Miter: editorial side-by-side

E5.0

Employment Hero's feed stays on career and wellbeing advice after its 2026 product recap.

◆ Current state

Employment Hero's recent feed is almost entirely editorial: burnout, psychological safety, career planning, hiring costs and Australian award changes. The one product-relevant item in the window is the 2026 recap listing Hero AI, Recruitment Agent, HeroClear, Payroll Agent, HeroForce and Chat.

◆ Where it's heading

The recap shows where the product effort went this year — agent-style features across recruitment and payroll — but the feed itself carries no new release detail since. The content mix is weighted toward employee-wellbeing topics heading into the year-end period.

◆ Prediction

The entries don't show an upcoming release; the next product signal is most likely another agent feature in the line named in the recap, but the feed gives no timing.

M3.8

Miter added accounts payable and opened a free API — it's no longer just construction payroll.

◆ Current state

Miter ships one large digest every one to two months rather than continuous entries, and each is organized by module: HR, Payroll, Field Ops, Spend, Platform, Ecosystem. The summer update is the broadest yet, adding an Accounts Payable module, API 2.0 as a free self-serve install, Safety Passport credential verification, entity-scoped granular permissions, and a run of payroll and compliance work including California break rules and OSHA report generation.

◆ Where it's heading

The module list keeps growing outward from payroll into everything a contractor's back office touches, and the last two releases added the two things a platform needs that a payroll product does not: a spend module of its own and an open, unmetered API. Vote counts published against each feature show the roadmap is being run off customer demand, and the compliance work is concentrated where construction is most exposed — break rules, OSHA, prevailing rate calculations.

◆ Prediction

Expect the Spend module to keep filling out around Accounts Payable, and third-party integrations built on API 2.0 to start appearing in the Ecosystem section of the next digest.
