Managing employment contracts at scale is one of the most operationally sensitive and repetitive tasks faced by HR and legal teams. Traditionally, this process involves manually editing .docx templates, inserting employee-specific information, circulating versions via email for review, and storing static .pdf files in disconnected folders. This leads to delays, version control issues, manual errors, and inefficiencies in downstream processes like payroll and compliance.
HERO transforms this workflow by turning static documents into live, dynamic templates that scale with your organization. With HERO, companies can create a single employment contract template embedded with smart variables—such as employee name, salary, job title, start date, and jurisdiction-specific clauses. These fields can be populated automatically from an integrated data source, such as a hiring form or HR platform.
Contracts can be edited collaboratively in real time, significantly reducing the back-and-forth required for legal review and approvals. Once finalized, the structured data inside each contract can be streamed directly to HR and payroll systems such as Gusto, Deel, BambooHR, or Workday. This eliminates the need for manual data entry and ensures consistency across systems.
The operational impact is substantial. What previously took several hours—drafting, reviewing, formatting, converting to PDF, and keying data into payroll software—can now be completed in a fraction of the time. For example, preparing and processing 100 contracts might traditionally require over 40 hours of collective work. With HERO, that same workload can be completed in less than four hours, reducing contract turnaround times by over 90 percent.
For fast-growing companies hiring at scale, HERO is not just a text editor—it’s a scalable contract operations engine that connects your legal documents to your business systems in real time. This ensures speed, accuracy, compliance, and a better onboarding experience for every new employee.
