Guides
Guides for running vehicles, people and accounts
These plain-language guides explain the rules and decisions behind fleet, HR and finance work. Each guide shows the date it was last updated and links the official sources it is based on.
All guides
Six guides on three topics
Each guide ends with links to the Office Hero features it relates to.
Fleet and vehicles
These guides cover choosing a system, the tachograph rules for vans and privacy when employees drive tracked vehicles.
How to choose fleet management software
A buyer's checklist of eleven areas, from trackers and data quality to driver privacy, tachographs and contract terms.
Tachographs in vans from 1 July 2026
Which vans above 2.5 tonnes now need a smart tachograph in international transport and cabotage, and what remains unclear for vans from AETR countries.
GPS tracking and employee privacy
What the GDPR and data protection authorities expect when employees drive tracked vehicles, including private use of company cars.
People and EU directives
These guides explain what two EU directives ask of employers.
The EU Pay Transparency Directive
The pay information rights of applicants and workers under Directive (EU) 2023/970, gender pay gap reports and the dates that apply.
The EU Whistleblowing Directive
Who must run an internal reporting channel under Directive (EU) 2019/1937, what it must do, and how to handle a report on time.
Accounting
This guide explains how to keep accounts in more than one currency.
Multi-currency accounting
Which exchange rate to use, when realised and unrealised differences arise and how month-end revaluation works, with ECB and NBRM rates.
Guides, not legal advice
The guides explain rules in plain language and link the official sources, and each shows the date it was last updated. Rules change and every case is different, so check yours with a lawyer or adviser before you act.
