Manufacturing

It’s not easy to bring new products and systems to market delighting customers and managing complex human & supply processes. Rippling helps manufacturing companies streamline workforce management by automating payroll, benefits, and compliance across diverse employee types, from full-time staff to contractors.

Manufacturing specific challenges

Managing Diverse Workforce Types

Manufacturers often employ a mix of full-time employees, contractors, and seasonal workers, which complicates payroll, benefits administration, and compliance. Ensuring accuracy and consistency across these groups can be resource-intensive without the right tools.

Compliance with Labor Laws and Regulations

Adhering to complex labor laws, such as overtime rules, safety requirements, and union agreements, is a significant challenge for manufacturers, especially across multiple locations or countries. Non-compliance can lead to penalties and legal issues.

Tracking Time and Attendance Across Shifts

Manufacturers operate around the clock with multiple shifts, making it difficult to track employee hours, manage PTO, and ensure proper scheduling without errors or inefficiencies.

Onboarding and Offboarding High-Turnover Staff

High turnover rates and frequent hiring needs in the manufacturing sector require streamlined onboarding and offboarding processes. Without automation, these processes can become time-consuming and prone to mistakes.

Labor Cost Management

With tight margins, manufacturers need to monitor labor costs closely to optimize profitability. Tracking expenses like overtime, benefits, and training in real-time is a persistent challenge for HR teams.

Managing a Multinational Workforce

For manufacturers with global operations, handling payroll, compliance, and benefits for a distributed workforce across different jurisdictions adds complexity and increases the risk of errors and non-compliance.

Skilled labor gap

Manufacturing jobs require specialized skillsets with more complex products and machinery. Lengthy onboarding processes with 3rd party dependencies can delay project delivery, revenue, and lead to poor customer experience.
