Employment Hero (formerly Humi)
Tier A · ListedHumi is now Employment Hero in Canada; Humi by Employment Hero remains for existing clients and Quebec
Employment Hero acquired Humi in 2025 and says that as of September 2025 it has fully moved to the Employment Hero brand across Canada. Humi by Employment Hero continues to serve existing clients and is the product Employment Hero recommends for businesses in Quebec or needing French-language support. The main Employment Hero platform covers HR, payroll, recruitment, benefits, and time and attendance.

- + Separate Humi by Employment Hero product for Quebec and French-language needs
- + T4 packages, CRA remittance schedules and ROEs handled in the platform
- + Payroll add-on price published ($7 per employee per month)

Canada note
Employment Hero's Canadian payroll calculates federal and provincial income tax, CPP, CPP2 and EI, prepares CRA remittance schedules and T4 packages, and generates ROEs when Payroll and HR are both active, applying provincial rules for the provinces it supports. For Québec, Employment Hero points customers to Humi by Employment Hero, which it says is built for Quebec compliance, with data stored on AWS servers in Canada.
