Each employee’s file, ready from the first day to the last.
One go-ahead sets off six dated steps. The agents prepare them, without screening any candidate.
In brief
A decision to hire, given in a conversation, sets off dated steps: contract, Employment Hero record, Fair Work Information Statement, choice of super fund, probation review, end of probation. ITHA sets up AI agents that prepare the file of the person you chose and track each date. They screen no candidate; your team signs, sends and decides. For a firm that hires at least two people a year.

The go-ahead is given in a conversation. Offer letter, contract and new starter forms live in three apps.
28 days
to offer an eligible new employee a choice of super fund.
Today, the go-ahead is given in a conversation, then several people build the file: the partners have the offer letter, payroll sets up the pay, the team prepares the start. The offer letter is in email, the contract template in a shared folder, the dates in the HR software; none of them sees the whole. A gap between the offer letter and the contract, or a form never given, is found too late.
An eligible new employee: 28 days to be offered a choice of super fund.
If the employee makes no choice, the employer requests their stapled super fund from the ATO. Australian Taxation Office.
The Fair Work Information Statement is given to every new employee before the start, or as soon as possible after. Fair Work Ombudsman
Here is the same hire, with the agents. An AI agent reads your documents, runs the checks and prepares the work, then puts it to you.

The three rules, with their sources
Fair Work Information Statement: given to every new employee before the start, or as soon as possible after. Casual and fixed-term employees also receive their own statement. Fair Work Ombudsman.
Choice of super fund: the standard choice form, given to eligible employees within 28 days of the start; without a choice, the stapled fund requested from the ATO. Australian Taxation Office.
Probation is set by the employment contract. An unfair dismissal claim needs a minimum employment period: 6 months, or 12 months with a small business employer (fewer than 15 employees). Fair Work Ombudsman.
What the software does not do
What the software does not do
Your HR software runs onboarding. It does not see the approval in Teams, the gap with the offer letter, or the dates that follow the start.
What your software already does is not redone:
Xero: payroll and Single Touch Payroll reporting.
Employment Hero: onboarding, leave and the employee file.
Docusign: electronic signature of contracts.
ITHA is not useful yet to a firm that hires fewer than two people a year.
A probation to decide, then a departure.
The same agent follows the employee after the start: the end of probation, then, one day, their departure.
A consultant on probation.
15/03/2027
End of probation: three letters ready, yours to choose.

What the agent does on its own is up to you.

Never alone: it prepares, a person acts, and the setting is locked. Sending, signing and any decision about a person are always set to Never alone.Sending, signing and any decision about a person stay with your team, always.

Questions
Before you hand over your hiring.
Does the agent screen applications?
No. No application is screened or scored by an agent. It prepares the file of the person you chose.
Who adds the new hire in Employment Hero?
Your team. Adding an employee sends them an invitation, so the agent prepares the details and reminds you of the date.
Do the agents see health information?
No. Medical certificates and health information stay out of their reach.
A first conversation about your hiring.
Thirty minutes to look at how a hire is prepared in your firm, who does what, and what can be ready before day one.
Thirty free minutes, at a time that suits you. You leave with a reasoned view.
