Transport and logistics FAQs

Is automated payroll better?

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

How secure is my employee data?

What is the benefit of real-time payroll in transport and logistics?

Real-time payroll ensures your employees are paid accurately and on time, every time. It reduces the risk of payroll errors by 99.99% by calculating updates in real-time, allowing your payroll team to identify and rectify errors proactively, rather than in batches at cut off time. This process reduces the time pressures of traditional payroll cycles, especially when employees work to varying shift patterns with overtime payments, meaning your team can work on value added tasks to drive business growth.
