wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the business<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smdltd.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Structural Metal Decks (SMD)<\/a> is a construction company supplying, manufacturing and installing specialist building products across a multitude of sectors including commercial and industrial developments. With over 50 employees across two different payroll groups; monthly salaried office staff and weekly paid mobile site teams, managing people processes is far from simple. Finance and Technical Director <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/jamie-turner-96b32924?originalSubdomain=uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jamie Turner<\/a> talked about how the company needed a solution that could bring payroll, HR and compliance together in one platform, whilst reducing costs and saving time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Juggling different payroll groups with disconnected systems was slowing things down and costing more than it should. Jamie&#8217;s finance team was spending up to a day each week manually processing weekly pay runs for site staff. And on top of that, office payroll was outsourced, increasing expenses and reducing transparency. The homegrown HR system they\u2019d built in-house lacked flexibility, so their HR Manager\u00a0began their search for a new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key challenges included:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Time-intensive weekly pay runs for site operatives.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Limited visibility and control with outsourced office payroll.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clunky, DIY HR tools that couldn\u2019t scale or support remote use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increased compliance risk from manual data entry.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"with-border\"><em>\u201cWe were spending half a day to a day each week just processing payroll. The steps were long, messy and hard to hand over if someone was off.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The solution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>91爆料\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/\">Employment Operating System<\/a> has helped SMD take control by bringing HR and payroll together in one system, eliminating back-and-forth and saving serious time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/\">Payroll<\/a> now integrates directly with SMD\u2019s internal database via 91爆料\u2019s API and <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/solutions\/time-and-attendance-software\/\">timesheets<\/a> feed straight into the platform, so payroll is no longer a black box or a multi-step slog. Instead, it\u2019s a simple review and approval process. In fact, the weekly payroll that used to take up to a full day now takes a couple of hours &#8211; a reduction of over 65%. The outsourced office payroll has been brought in-house too, giving the team better oversight and reducing external costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"with-border\"><em>\u201cBefore, there were numerous processes for someone to follow if they were covering payroll. Now there are only a few!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/uk\/products\/hr-software\/\">HR processes<\/a> got an upgrade. New starters are onboarded remotely, documents are signed and stored digitally and benefits reporting improves transparency. And when it comes to compliance like tracking wage thresholds or applying deductions, the system keeps everyone on track with built-in alerts and smart automation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"with-border\"><em>\u201cKnowing 91爆料 automatically picks up minimum wage changes and compliance updates is a huge relief, especially when thresholds shift after instances like the Budget announcement.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The ROI<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>91爆料 has driven measurable time and cost savings, improved compliance and made the business look at existing processes to improve and embed better and more efficient ways of doing things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u00a35,000+ saved annually<\/strong> from reduced payroll admin costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>65% time reduction<\/strong> in weekly pay runs (from ~7 hours to 2 hours).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>5 days added to finance\u2019s month-end window for decision making <\/strong>due to quicker payroll processing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Improved compliance<\/strong> with alerts for changes like statutory or minimum wage pay.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Simplified payroll and benefits reporting<\/strong>, supporting transparency and employee trust.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Reduced admin load with digitised HR processes<\/strong>, including onboarding, documents and surveys.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why it matters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With 91爆料 in place, SMD\u2019s finance and HR teams have more control and less risk. Faster payroll processes have unlocked time for better financial strategy. By cutting admin, Jamie\u2019s team can now focus on tighter month-end timelines, sharper decision-making and supporting smarter business growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"with-border\"><em>\u201cWhilst implementing a new system seems painful at the time due to change management and getting up to speed, 91爆料 forced us to look at how we do things, and improve them. We\u2019ve tightened up our month-end, made faster decisions with real numbers and the whole team feels more in control.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<style>\r\np.case-study-quote {\r\n  margin:32px auto!important;\r\n  padding-left:16px!important;\r\n}\r\np.with-border{\r\nborder-radius: 3px;\r\nborder-left-color: #7622D7;\r\nborder-left-width: 3px;\r\npadding-left: var(--wp--preset--spacing--4);\r\nborder-left: 3px solid #7622D7;\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group case-study__content-search-tag has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-28 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group image_left_right-wrapper has-light-violet-500-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-27 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:20px;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-26 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6)\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/employmenthero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/EOS-Rebel-Rabbit-Laying-Down.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-45572\" style=\"width:238px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-global-padding is-content-justification-left is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-25 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--9)\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-heading-2-xl-font-size wp-elements-65538034a0d83e10ba2c79d41e0ae4a2\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6);font-style:normal;font-weight:900\">Jump into Employment OS.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color has-paragraph-2-m-font-size wp-elements-85242f659ab9a4bee908e914f9fe05d6\" style=\"margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--6)\">Employment doesn\u2019t have to be hard.
