Deputy to Employment Hero Data Migration
Switching from Deputy to Employment Hero is a big decision, and the migration is usually the part businesses dread most. What about the historical data? What about payroll? What about the integrations?
We handle the lot. Employee records, leave balances, rosters, qualifications, onboarding documents, pay rates and compliance records — extracted from Deputy, cleaned, transformed, and loaded into Employment Hero. Validated at every step.
HELLO PEOPLE is a Perth-based software consultancy. We deliver fixed-price migrations for businesses across Australia — Perth, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and everywhere in between.
Why businesses delay this migration
These are the fears we hear every week. All of them are solvable with proper scoping and a structured migration process.
Scared of losing data
The biggest fear. Years of contacts, invoices, history, payroll records — what if something goes missing? That fear is why businesses stay on the wrong platform for years.
Downtime during the switch
Your team needs to keep working. Nobody can afford a week where the system is offline and invoices cannot go out or staff cannot be rostered.
Messy data in the old system
Duplicates, outdated contacts, broken formatting — if you bring that mess into the new system, you have just migrated the problem.
Reporting continuity
Your accountant, auditor or management team needs historical reports to still make sense after the move. Broken reporting is a deal-breaker.
Connected systems break
Integrations with other platforms — CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need to work with the new system from day one. Not after a few weeks of scrambling.
Cost blowouts
The migration was quoted at one price but kept growing. Scope creep, unexpected complexity, hidden charges — the project ends up costing double what was promised.

Common questions about Deputy to Employment Hero migration
How much does a Deputy to Employment Hero migration cost?
Every migration is different — data volume, complexity, connected integrations and the platforms involved all affect the scope. We assess your specific Deputy setup, map out exactly what needs to happen, and give you a fixed price before any work starts. No hourly billing, no open-ended estimates. Book a free no-obligation scoping call and we will give you a clear number.
How long does the migration take?
A typical Deputy to Employment Hero migration takes 2 – 4 weeks. We give you a realistic timeline during scoping — not a best-case estimate.
Will we lose any data during the switch?
No. We extract everything from Deputy, validate counts and balances at each step, and keep your source system untouched until you are confident the migration is complete. There is always a rollback option.
Can our team keep working during the migration?
Yes. We plan the migration so your team continues using Deputy until cutover. We run parallel systems where needed so there is no operational gap.
Do you clean up our data before migrating?
Yes — data cleansing is included. Duplicates are merged, dead records removed, formats standardised and field mappings validated before anything moves to Employment Hero.
Do you handle the integrations with other systems?
Yes. Any platforms connected to Deputy — accounting, CRM, payroll, eCommerce — need reconnecting to Employment Hero. We handle the full integration layer so everything works from day one.
Is our data secure during the migration?
Yes. All data is processed by our Australian team. We use secure, encrypted connections and never store credentials. Your Deputy data is not modified — we extract a copy for transformation and loading.
Do you only work with Perth businesses?
We are based in Perth but work Australia-wide. Around half our clients are in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Remote delivery is standard for us.
