Attestation Core
Employment Hero alternatives compared with Attestation Core
Employment Hero tracks staff credentials as part of its HR platform. If compliance-grade credential management is what you need — not HR — Attestation Core Pro does that specifically.
Expiry tracking, evidence uploads, tiered notification chains, and audit-ready reports. Self-hosted. No per-employee HR pricing.
The numbers
What you actually pay.
Per-seat SaaS pricing climbs with every hire. A self-hosted licence is flat — one annual fee per site, regardless of user count.

Why teams switch
What SaaS compliance really costs you.
Manual tracking misses expiry dates
Spreadsheet-based credential registers go stale. Missed renewals create compliance gaps that only surface at audit time.
Per-seat pricing for a compliance-only need
If you only need credential tracking, paying for a full HR or SaaS compliance suite means most of the invoice is wasted.
Credential evidence in a vendor’s cloud
Registration documents and compliance evidence stored on a vendor’s infrastructure — under their data retention policies, not yours.
Ready to move off Employment Hero?
Also need policy acknowledgement? The Compliance Stack bundles both for less than buying separately.

Common questions, answered.
We already use Employment Hero for HR — do we need both?
If credential compliance is a priority, yes. Employment Hero’s credential tracking is a lightweight HR feature. Attestation Core Pro is purpose-built for compliance-grade tracking with audit exports, tiered notifications, and configurable evidence requirements.
Can Attestation Core Pro replace Employment Hero entirely?
No. Attestation Core Pro handles credential and compliance tracking. It does not cover payroll, leave management, recruitment, or benefits. Use both in parallel.
How does the staff self-service portal work?
Staff access a frontend portal via WordPress shortcode where they can view their credentials, upload renewal evidence, and check expiry dates — without any access to the WordPress admin.
Does it integrate with our payroll system?
Not directly. Attestation Core Pro is self-contained. Credential data can be exported as CSV for import into other systems.
