Rowlands Recruitment has been building careers in Jersey since 1975, placing candidates across accountancy, banking, legal, trust, HR and commercial roles. Alongside its permanent employees, Rowlands supports a large pool of temporary and interim workers across weekly and monthly payrolls, with numbers regularly changing as assignments start and finish.
“The platform has changed payroll from being a major weekly task into something that runs smoothly as part of the working week.”
The challenge
Rowlands Recruitment was using a hosted payroll system that required manual intervention at multiple stages of the payroll process. Remote access was difficult and often relied on additional desktop access software, which could be complicated and regularly required technical support.
Weekly payroll was time-consuming for a small team, and additional internal cover was often needed while payroll was being processed. Rowlands was looking for a more streamlined, cloud-based solution that would improve accessibility, reduce manual input and save time each week.
The solution
Ocerli provided an intuitive, cloud-based platform that made payroll faster and easier to manage from the start. Smarter automation reduced manual steps, calculations were handled within the platform, and clear visibility made payroll processing more straightforward week to week.
Employees now have simple, direct access to payslips and payroll information, reducing queries and requests for support, particularly during tax return periods. Ocerli’s responsive support team also provided clear guidance whenever questions or legislative updates arose.
The impact
Rowlands now saves around three hours every week compared with its previous process. Payroll has become smoother, more reliable and far less stressful for the administration team.
The business now benefits from greater flexibility, faster processing and a more efficient way to manage both weekly and monthly payrolls. With less manual intervention and more confidence in the process, the team can spend less time coordinating payroll and more time supporting the business day to day.
