Company news travels by word of mouth or informal WhatsApp groups. Clocking, timesheets and leave live in separate systems.

Featured case study: WastePlan. WastePlan runs 2,400 waste sorters across 900+ sites nationally. Before Jem, payslips were driven to sites in envelopes and employees resorted to unregulated loans. After years with Jem, WastePlan switched to a competitor. Their employees rejected it, the system failed within two months, and Jem was reinstated within days. Today: 86% adoption, roughly 470 hours a week saved on communication, and employees using EWA save around R286 a month.
“Everybody in the boardroom has credit cards. Our employees don't have options. If we take Jem away, they go to the loan sharks.”
