Retail HR and payroll FAQs

Is automated payroll better?

Yes, it is. Managing and running your payroll in-house is time-consuming, complicated, and comes with a high risk of manual errors due to manual data entries and calculations. With automated payroll, you’ll save time, money and mitigate the risks associated with managing payroll internally. By leaving payroll to the experts, you’ll have more time to focus on what’s important.

How secure is my employee data?

Plus, as cloud-based systems, our solutions have security updates rolled out quickly and easily.

What are retailer employees expecting from employers?

Retail employees have evolving expectations from their employers, usually driven by changes in the working world. Their expectations are likely to include:

  • Work-life balance: flexible scheduling to accommodate employees' personal commitments and avoid burnout.
  • Supportive work environment: respectful, inclusive culture with managers who listen and act on employees' feedback. Mental health should be considered and addressed to ensure employees feel heard and valued.
  • Opportunities for growth: access to training and development programmes to improve skillsets and support internal progression opportunities, as well as clear communication through check-ins for performance metrics and job expectations.
  • Job security and stability: assurance of consistent shift patterns and working hours to allow employees to financially plan and feel secure.
