What are payroll challenges for the manufacturing industry?
Payroll in any industry is critical to keep employees satisfied and to protect a company’s reputation. On top of the normal complex payroll calculations, the manufacturing industry presents a unique set of challenges when processing payroll.
- Hourly workforce: Calculating payroll for hourly workers can be difficult because you may have to calculate overtime, shift differentials, and adhere to laws set for exempt workers. Piecework is the practice of paying workers based upon tasks completed, units produced, or other similar quantitative measures. This can present a challenge to accurately calculating pay.
- Union Workers: Union work has a heavy impact on the manufacturing industry. You must do the proper union deductions, the correct union benefit calculations, and lastly the ability to create union reports.
- Overtime: You must accurately calculate overtime for your hourly employees. The IRS standard method for calculating overtime is OT= (Base Rate + (0.5 x RROP)) x HoursWorked.
- Allowances: All manufacturing companies pay allowances to their workers. The allowances are based on regulations set by the government and the company. Allowance payments can vary based on location, so it is important to ensure the correct allowance payouts.
