Did you know?

Payroll errors cost more than money.

They cost time. They create extra admin. They lead to corrections. And when people aren’t paid accurately, they can quickly affect employee trust.

This National Payroll Week, we’re celebrating the payroll professionals working behind the scenes to make sure people are paid correctly and on time.

But accurate payroll starts long before payday.
It starts with accurate workforce data.

Hours worked, overtime, absence, shift changes and adjustments all need to reach payroll accurately. When that information relies on spreadsheets, manual entry or disconnected systems, there’s more opportunity for errors and more work required to put them right.

With Imperago Time & Attendance, organisations can capture accurate working-time data and integrate it with payroll, helping reduce manual administration and giving payroll teams reliable information to work from.
Because getting pay right starts with getting time right.

Employment law is changing. Is your workforce data ready?

The next phase of UK employment law reform is approaching, and for employers, preparation isn’t just about understanding what’s changing.

It’s about knowing whether your workforce processes can support it.

As new requirements are introduced around areas such as working arrangements, holiday pay and employment protections, accurate workforce records will become increasingly important.

Can you easily see who worked, when and for how long? Changes to shifts and working patterns? Overtime, absence and holiday records?

The information managers need to make confident decisions?

With Imperago, organisations can bring workforce information together, providing greater visibility of time, attendance, absence and working patterns.
Because when regulation changes, trying to piece together workforce data after the event isn’t a great place to start.

Good compliance starts with good data.

£350,000 a year. That’s what better workforce visibility can look like.

For a highly seasonal business like Blue Diamond, keeping staffing costs aligned with demand isn’t straightforward.

Historically, staff costs were typically around £350k over budget each year.

By implementing Imperago across Time & Attendance, Rostering, Forecasting & Budgeting, alongside integration with Zellis HR & Payroll, Blue Diamond gained something incredibly valuable: real-time visibility.

Managers can see staffing, absence and costs as they happen, make informed decisions quickly and keep spend on track.

The result? Those annual cost overruns are now avoided.

It’s a powerful example of what happens when workforce management moves from assumptions to accurate, actionable data.

Swipe through the carousel to see how Blue Diamond did it.

It’s the last long weekend of the summer. 🌤️

Whatever Monday looks like for you, a proper day off, a family day out, or simply not opening your laptop as, we hope you get a genuine break from it.

And a thought for everyone who won’t be off. Retail, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, care, emergency services, and all the frontline teams keeping things running while the rest of us switch off. Bank holidays don’t stop the work load for everyone.

If your teams are among them, we hope the rota’s already sorted, the cover’s in place, and nobody’s spending Sunday night rebuilding a spreadsheet.

Enjoy the bank holiday, whatever it looks like for you from all at HFX.

“Is that not just HR software?” We get asked this a lot.

Workforce Management (WFM) sits between HR and Payroll, integrated with both, but it isn’t either of them. HR and Payroll are largely admin systems. WFM is operational: it’s about planning, deploying and managing your people day to day.

At its core, most WFM solutions bring together three things:

Time & Attendance. Recording who’s actually at work, in real time, and calculating hours, absence, lateness and overtime automatically, whether that’s a standard 9-to-5, flexitime, or annualised hours for organisations with seasonal peaks.

Rostering. Planning not just shifts, but where staff are deployed, what they’re doing, and what it costs, so the right people with the right skills are in the right place at the right time.

Productivity. For task or contract-focused teams, tracking time and output against activities, so managers can spot inefficiency and act on it, not guess at it.

Beyond that, WFM often extends into access control, visitor registration, lone worker safety, and workforce design, matching shift patterns to actual demand rather than just filling a grid.

The common thread through all of it: visibility. You can’t manage what you can’t see, and WFM exists to make the operational reality of your workforce visible, in one place.

Want the full picture? We’ve put together a short guide covering exactly this.

How do you record hours fairly for 350 staff who are out on the road, not sat at a desk? That was the challenge for Flintshire County Council’s waste and recycling teams, spread across 7 sites with little day-to-day access to systems.

The solution: hfx’s HexOne touchscreen terminal on-site, plus remote portal access from home or a personal phone, with a backup PIN if an ID card goes missing. Reports now help managers spot fair working patterns and stay aligned with Working Time regulations.

The result: substantial savings on track within year one, and better visibility for a council managing services across the whole county.

Do your frontline or remote teams have an easy way to log hours, or is it still down to paper and guesswork?

Managers are being asked to do more with less room to breathe than almost any other group in the workplace right now, and it's showing.

Manager engagement has dropped further and faster than most other roles this year, and it isn't a training gap, it's a visibility gap: most managers were promoted with little formal preparation, and without clear data on where time is actually going, it's nearly impossible to fix the overload rather than just talk about it.

If you can't see where your team's time and workload is going, you can't relieve the pressure on the people managing it.

What's the biggest time-drain your managers are dealing with right now?

Two-thirds of UK men have kept working, despite believing they should have sought medical advice or taken time off.

New research from Benenden Health, surveying 2,000 working men aged 30 to 55, found 69% have ignored symptoms or health concerns they were worried about. Nearly a quarter (23%) said work stopped them getting medical advice, and one in five (20%) didn’t want to make a fuss.

A separate Benenden Health survey of UK HR decision-makers shows employers can see it happening: 84% of HR leaders agree men are less likely than women to raise health concerns at work, and 86% have experienced a situation where a male employee avoided seeking support until it started affecting his work. Yet only 36% of organisations currently run any initiative aimed specifically at men’s health.

The gap isn’t awareness, it’s action. Regular, low-pressure visibility into wellbeing and absence patterns helps managers notice the signs early, before a health issue becomes a crisis, and without making it a difficult conversation.

Are men in your workplace comfortable flagging a health concern early, or does it usually surface once it’s already affecting their work?
