Payroll for the manufacturing sector
Compromising on your payroll solution is a false economy. With ever-changing legislative requirements, the rise in operational costs, and disjointed legacy systems, the risk of errors and reputational damage increases.
With Zellis’ award-winning payroll software, there’s no need for compromise. Our cloud payroll software is automated, accurate, and fully compliant with UK and Ireland regulations. It can be deployed as a standalone, best-in-class payroll solution, or as part of our integrated HCM solution Zellis HCM Cloud. We can also manage the whole payroll process for you with our leading managed payroll service.

“There were a couple of different options we could have taken, but seeing Zellis HCM Cloud in the demonstrations felt like a better option for us from a longevity perspective as we wanted a solution that was going to last quite a while and that wasn’t going to become outdated quickly or require substantial intervention.”

"We’ve started to move away from asking basic questions like ‘Did everyone get paid on time?’ to ‘How did we get there?'. We’re achieving a greater depth of analysis, looking at factors such as the accuracy at different stages of the pay cycle, and how effectively changes were communicated within the team. This is helping us make additional process enhancements in key areas like payroll."
