ATOM RESOURCES
A leading blue collar labour recruitment company
“The amazing journey I’ve been on couldn’t have been possible without the assurance I’ve received from EPG. The visibility I have in the one ecosystem across my people and payroll allows me to ask the right questions and strategise what initiatives are needed for continued growth.”
ATOM RESOURCES AT A GLANCE
A leading labour recruitment provider for Australia’s construction, manufacturing & engineering industries and two-time winner of the Australian Financial Review’s Fast Starters Awards.
OVERVIEW
Establishing a compliant business model
As a start-up in 2016 with a fluid workforce and one of the most difficult pay regimes to navigate, Atom Resources knew there was value in passing on the middle office admin for all their contractor onboarding, timesheets, payroll processing, sales invoice generation and margin reporting. It has not only delivered true visibility and efficiency across Atom’s operations but complements a successful recruitment model that maintains the integrity of its blue-collar workforce.
APPROACH
Simplifying processes for
a complex workforce
- Managed payroll services: Atom engaged EPG to
process payments for their independent contractors and interposed entities accurately and compliantly while they focus on building a strong client base. - Process improvement: EPG transitioned Atom over to HCM platform Expedo to handle the growing complexities of their blue-collar labour hire industry.
- Fast redeployment: Upon receiving an initial employment contract, Atom can send updated assignment specifications, avoiding the need to re-onboard.
- Seamless integration: New contractor data received from JobAdder automatically flows into Expedo. From there, workers receive one link to paperless onboarding and required WH&S inductions, with their payroll data syncing with EPG’s systems.
- Time to bill: Expedo’s flexible assignment
architecture calculates shift wages, allowances,
overtime and industry award based on the worker’s timesheet and pushes data through to EPG’s payroll software. Multiple clients can be invoiced in a single batch and timesheet approvals automatically attached with audit trails for faster payments. - Margin reporting: Real-time reports and
forecasting provide actionable business insights and performance remuneration analytics per consultant, including the ability to split payments for commission purposes.
