Common HR challenges in this sector
Sound familiar?
- Field sales and van teams paid on commission that is hard to calculate
- Warehouse staff on shifts, with overtime at month-end peaks
- Stock and cash that must reconcile to the people who handle them
- Credit control and customer accounts spread across several people
- Branches and depots using different pay and leave practices
