Cheaper payslips distribution

R174k

Reduction in payslips costs

Project Overview: Oryx

Oryx provides specialised cleaning and hygiene services to companies across Southern Africa. Their finance team was looking for a simpler and more effective way to communicate with their frontline workforce and deliver payslips to their staff complement of +2800 employees. After exploring numerous solutions, Oryx was referred to Jem and have used Jem Payslips and Communication ever since.

Challenges

  • Before Jem, Oryx’s internal communication was paper-based and tedious. To communicate with their staff, Oryx either made use of numerous WhatsApp groups or printed documents and delivered them to every one of their employees across their 200 locations. This meant that resolving any employee query would take a matter of days for Oryx.
  • In particular, Oryx used to spend R5 just to print a payslip (the cost of paper and printers). This doesn’t consider the labour and delivery costs associated with getting a payslip to each of their 2,800 employees, which Oryx estimated to run into the hundreds of thousands of rands.

Results

Cheaper payslips distribution

R174k

Reduction in payslips costs
  • With Jem, Oryx has estimated that payslip distribution costs have halved since using Jem, saving them R174k per year.
  • With Jem, it now takes Oryx as little as 10 minutes to resolve any employee query.
  • Since launching in South Africa last year, Oryx has now rolled Jem Payslips and Communications to their employee base in Namibia and Botswana.
  • At an extra cost, Oryx opted to white-label their Jem WhatsApp line. They now use their Oryx branded WhatsApp line to communicate with their employees across the three countries they operate in.

Coming Soon

Oryx spends a huge amount of their budget on distributing other mandatory documents to their employees. Jem is building a PDF document-sending feature that will allow Oryx (and all other clients) to send any company document to their employees via WhatsApp. This includes IRP5s, disciplinary codes, and HR policy documents.
