Three things make industrial payroll unlike any other, and generic HR systems handle none of them well:
Rotating, continuous, and night-shift models, shift and night bonuses, standby and on-call, and shift swaps - all feed into pay cycles. A change to the shift plan is a change to the payslip, and it must flow through automatically.
Industrial collective agreements set pay grades, premiums, and allowances; works councils co-decide on working time and shift models. Payroll must reflect exactly what is bargained and agreed - and prove it, recalculating retroactively when an agreement changes.
Trades, technicians, and apprentices - not a high-churn frontline. A single wrong payslip erodes trust with the people who keep the line running, and a works-council dispute can reach the shop floor fast.
Whether time is captured through your existing workforce management system or directly in PeopleHub, clocked hours, shift patterns, and premiums flow straight into payroll. No manual re-keying.
No gap between time worked and pay calculated.
Collective-agreement pay grades, shift and night bonuses, standby, overtime, and retroactive changes are applied automatically and kept audit-ready.
Clocked time from terminals, badges, or your workforce management informs pay - with no re-keying between the line and the pay run.
Ramping plants up or down, reorganisations, cloud moves, and industrial carve-outs – we work with your changing landscape and deliver without stopping pay.
One platform and one service for payroll across your plants and countries - a single standard, with local compliance guaranteed.
Start with software, co-managed services, or fully managed payroll, and move between models as your and needs change.
