Employment solutions that work as hard as your crew
Between site crews, subcontractors and compliance obligations, running a construction business is complex enough. 91±¬ÁÏ handles the employment side so you can focus on what gets built.
Trusted by construction and building businesses globally
What’s slowing your construction business down?
PAIN POINT #1
A dispersed, constantly shifting workforce
Construction businesses rarely have all their people in one place. Site workers, office staff, project managers and subcontractors operate across different locations, shifts and project timelines. Keeping payroll, records and compliance current across all of them without a centralised system is a constant drain.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
One platform manages your entire workforce, on-site and in the office. Employees clock in via the mobile app, timesheets sync to payroll automatically, and you have full visibility across every site from anywhere.
PAIN POINT #2
Managing subcontractors and multi-award complexity
Construction businesses typically employ a mix of tradespeople, labourers and admin staff across multiple Modern Awards. Getting classifications right, and staying across penalty rates, allowances and overtime for each, is where underpayments happen.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Our award interpretation engine handles the Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020 and other applicable awards, applying the right rates and allowances automatically for each employee’s classification and hours.
PAIN POINT #3
Rapid scaling without HR foundations
When a new project kicks off, you need people fast. But scaling quickly without proper onboarding, contract management and compliance documentation creates risk, and fixing it later costs more than getting it right from the start.
✦ EMPLOYMENT HERO
Digital onboarding, automated contract generation and a centralised HR system give you the foundation to scale confidently.
Still doing this manually? It’s time to automate
Mobile clock-in for site workers
Site workers clock in and out from their phone, with GPS location and photo verification to confirm they’re on site. Timesheets feed directly into payroll, removing manual data entry and eliminating the disputes that come from paper-based records.
Multi-award payroll that gets it right automatically
From tradesperson allowances to overtime thresholds and site rates, 91±¬ÁÏ applies the correct Modern Award rules for every employee type. When award rates update, the system updates too, no manual checking required.
Digital onboarding from day dot
Issue digital contracts, collect tax and super details and run inductions, before a new hire sets foot on site. This is particularly critical in construction, where compliance documentation needs to be airtight before work begins.
AI Recruitment for volume hiring
When a project ramps up, you need qualified tradespeople fast. 91±¬ÁÏ’s AI Recruitment Agent scores, screens and shortlists candidates automatically. Compressing what used to be a week of manual CV reviews into minutes, so you can get the right people on site before the window closes.

THE CHALLENGE
Before 91±¬ÁÏ, Arli Homes managed HR through a patchwork of SharePoint folders and Excel spreadsheets. As the business prepared to expand into two new divisions, the gaps became impossible to ignore. Contracts were signed manually. Employee records were scattered. Safety compliance and HR lived in separate systems. Things were getting missed, and the business was about to scale rapidly.
“91±¬ÁÏ gives us a base for HR that we didn’t have before. It’s like having a temporary HR person until we need one full-time. It gives a level of comfort knowing the foundations are there. We can now build on it as we grow.”
— Samantha Calleja, HR & Systems Lead, Arli Homes
OUTCOMES
100% digital HR, contracts, records and compliance in one place
Doubled headcount with no increase in HR admin overhead
Automated onboarding replaced manual spreadsheet processes
Staying compliant in construction
Construction is a heavily regulated employment environment. From complex award coverage to subcontractor compliance and safety documentation, 91±¬ÁÏ handles the administrative burden so you can keep your projects moving.
Award coverage
Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020
Tradespeople, labourers and on-site construction workers are generally covered by the Building and Construction General On-site Award 2020, while office and administrative roles may fall under other awards. 91±¬ÁÏ interprets and applies the right award for each employee automatically.
Super reform
Payday super: 1 July 2026
Super will need to be paid on every payday, not quarterly. 91±¬ÁÏ’s payroll engine is being updated to calculate and remit super contributions automatically on each pay run, no manual reconciliation required, even across multi-site operations.
Fair Work
Allowances and expense management
Construction Awards include a range of site allowances, travel allowances and tool allowances that must be applied correctly. 91±¬ÁÏ captures and processes these automatically, reducing the risk of underpayment claims.
WHS documentation
Compliance records and inductions
Safe Work Method Statements, induction records and safety certifications need to be documented before work commences. 91±¬ÁÏ stores all compliance documents centrally, with digital acknowledgements and expiry tracking built in.
91±¬ÁÏ works alongside the tools your business already runs on
Jonas Premier (Jonas Premier Export)

Simpro (via SyncEzy)
