What we offer

Home / Industries / Salons, gyms, laundries and car washes

Salons, gyms, laundries and car washes

Simple contracts, payroll and HR set-up for owner-run personal service businesses that are starting to grow beyond one branch.

Common HR challenges in this sector

Sound familiar?

  • Staff on commission, booth rent or mixed pay with nothing written down
  • Casual and part-time workers on informal terms
  • The owner doing payroll, rotas and cash at the same time
  • Statutory deductions missed because the team is small
  • Opening a second branch without a repeatable way of running the first

How Nexalia Technologies supports this

Nexalia HCM keeps staff payroll and leave in order as you add branches. Nexalia POS for the counter is in early access, and a demo is available on request.
