[Global] Launch of Workstream all-in-one Payroll Solution for the hourly workforce
01 Oct 2024

On September 30, Workstream - a payroll, HR, and hiring platform designed for hourly businesses - launched a series of new payroll, time clock, and shift scheduling products, Silicon reports.

These products bring functionality to QSR franchisees, restaurants, and other businesses that employ hourly workers and expand the capabilities of Workforce’s integrated all-in-one platform

“After decades in the restaurant industry, I’ve learned how important it is to have access to the right tools. Workstream is the only payroll and HR platform I’ve seen that’s built specifically for hourly workers. It reduces so much of the repetitive work that bogs down business owners, helping them move faster and save costs,” Don Fox - former CEO of Firehouse Subs and Workstream advisor - said.

Workstream’s survey of HR leaders and business owners reportedly demonstrated the importance of such tools. Of the 250 respondents:

  • 23 per cent were still using manual spreadsheets to run payroll.
  • 64 per cent of companies want a tool that specifically addresses the hourly workforce’s needs.
  • 73.6 per cent of companies were seeking consolidation of their payroll, hiring, time tracking and HR platforms into a single solution.

The new products are intended to deliver on the needs highlighted in the survey results: an automated, consolidated payroll solution built specifically for the hourly workforce. Workstream’s offering is a move away from traditional payroll providers; typically geared toward enterprise businesses at a high price point.

“Our latest payroll solution is a game-changer for hourly businesses looking to streamline their operations and stay ahead of the competition,” Desmond Lim - CEO and co-founder of Workstream - said.

“By integrating seamlessly with our suite of hiring, onboarding, and HR products, this new offering not only simplifies payroll management but also empowers businesses to increase efficiency and significantly reduce labor costs. We’re committed to meeting the unique challenges faced by hourly businesses, and with these tools, our customers can better compete in a challenging economic landscape, ensuring they stay ahead of the curve.”
