href=\"https:\/\/www.olivebrancheasingwold.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Olive Branch<\/a> has been a staple of good food and community since 2017. With a team of over 14 staff and a business that flexes with seasonal demand, owner Jordan Jones needed a better way to manage payroll. One that offered more flexibility and less manual effort, all for a cheaper cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">After discovering <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/free-payroll-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91爆料\u2019s Free Payroll Software<\/a>, Jordan made the switch and hasn\u2019t looked back. With streamlined pay runs, automated submissions and an intuitive employee app, payroll is now smooth and fast. Plus, it\u2019s cost-free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Costs that crept up&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">Jordan\u2019s old payroll setup worked just fine, but with a bustling hospitality business and a team that shifts between 10\u201318 people, he wanted flexibility, control and zero stress. On top of that, rising National Insurance Costs (NICs) and other SME costs meant Jordan had been looking for ways to review his payroll processes and make the most of his budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><strong>Key challenges included:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">\n<li>Limited visibility into the payroll process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fluctuating headcount requiring more adaptable tools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A desire to run payroll on his own time, without delays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rising business costs and the need to consider budgets.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cI wanted a system where I could take full control. Something flexible enough to suit how I want to run payroll. 91爆料\u2019s Free Payroll software was just that. And because costs have gone up tenfold in every single element of the business, it became even more appealing.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spotted\u2026 whilst scrolling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">It was a Facebook advertisement that first piqued Jordan\u2019s interest in <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/free-payroll-software\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">91爆料\u2019s Free Payroll<\/a>. Since he was already on the lookout for a new payroll software, he decided to give it a go and upon signing up, quickly discovered that it offered more than expected. Better yet, the platform quickly became a part of his regular rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201c91爆料 just kind of popped up\u2026 but it was very fortuitous for me that your ad came up at the time it did. I looked into it and it just worked.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A straightforward setup for beginners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\">The setup was swift, with clear prompts and error-flagging that helped avoid mistakes. Even with no prior payroll experience, Jordan was able to input his team\u2019s data, check for any issues and feel confident the results were accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"case-study-quote has-paragraph-2-m-font-size\"><em>\u201cI ran my first payroll alongside the old system just to check, and the numbers matched exactly.
