STREAMLINING PAYROLL FOR STAFFING ORGANIZATIONS
A CASE STUDY
Staffing organizations operate in a highly dynamic environment, deploying manpower across industries — including manufacturing — while managing intricate payroll complexities. From multiple pay heads to safety-linked employee benefits and strict compliance to labour laws, the challenges are significant. In the present case, the client, a leading staffing services provider, approached us to address these complexities with EZII.
THEY FACED CHALLENGES SUCH AS :
- >>Customer-specific payroll cut-offs — e.g., Customer A calculated payroll from the 21st to the 20th, Customer B from the 26th to the 25th, while Customer C followed the calendar month.
- >>Pay components and computation methods varied significantly across clients.
- >>From leave wages, shoe/uniform allowances, statutory bonuses, to workmen's compensation, benefits differed for each customer and had to be captured for accurate billing.
- >>Overtime, attendance bonuses, washing or heat allowances, and other variables were managed manually, adding risk of errors.
- >>The staffing provider bore the full burden of adhering to labour regulations such as the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, PF, ESI, and gratuity.
- >>Loss of pay (LOP), non-production days, or lockdowns differed by customer and had direct impact on payroll computation.
- >>Payslips had to be generated to suit each client's preferences while meeting statutory requirements.
- >>Creating invoices and pay sheet reports required precision and speed, but the manual process left room for delays and inconsistencies.
- >>Set up overnight configurations for workflows and access rights to control all the related processes.
- >>Migrate the data of the first 9 months of the financial year accurately from a legacy data source for tax computation
- >>Process, reconcile and roll out in a period of3 working days.
THE CONTEXT
Payroll complexity in the staffing industry, with manufacturing as a use case. Our client, a leading staffing provider, deployed thousands of workers across multiple locations in the manufacturing sector. Each engagement came with its own pay structures, statutory requirements, and reporting formats, making payroll management highly complex.
OUR APPROACH
The EZII Way
- >>The staffing client came to us with fragmented payroll practices: different customers followed different cut-offs, unique pay heads, and varying benefit structures ranging from leave wages and uniform allowances to statutory bonuses and compensation. Manual handling of overtime, attendance bonuses, and special allowances further increased the risk of errors.
- >>EZII team partnered closely with their managers: studying each client's workflows and compliance needs under PF, ESI, gratuity, and the Contract Labour Act. We configured customer-wise payroll structures where cut-off dates, pay components, and benefits could be automated and customized without backend intervention. Variable units like overtime hours or non-production days were captured directly in the system, with rates predefined in the pay structure.
- >>During implementation, we also eliminated a major bottleneck: manual invoice preparation. By integrating benefits into the pay run itself, EZII generated invoice-ready reports instantly — saving time and ensuring accuracy. Customer-specific payslips, compliant yet flexible, sealed the solution. The result was a payroll system designed not just for automation, but for the dynamic realities of manufacturing staffing.
