Manufacturing HR & Payroll Solutions
Manufacturing organizations face unique workforce challenges: 83% struggle to find and keep skilled workers, and the industry faces 2.1 million unfilled jobs by 2030. Axiom Human Resource Solutions provides white-glove UKG Ready implementations specifically configured for manufacturing operations—from multi-shift scheduling to complex payroll compliance.
The manufacturing industry has undergone a significant transformation. Today’s workforce challenges are more complex than ever—83% of manufacturers struggle to find and keep skilled workers, 45% are turning down work because they don’t have enough staff, and 2.1 million manufacturing jobs are projected to remain unfilled by 2030.
For HR and operations leaders, this means every workforce decision matters more than ever. The systems you use to hire, schedule, pay, and retain workers directly impact your ability to meet production demands and grow your business.
Axiom Human Resource Solutions works with manufacturing organizations across the spectrum—from growing manufacturers with 75-300 employees scaling operations, to mid-market manufacturers with 300-2,000 employees managing multi-shift complexity, to multi-location operations coordinating workforce across facilities.
Whether you’re running discrete manufacturing, process manufacturing, job shops, or contract manufacturing, we understand the common challenges: multi-shift or 24/7 operations, complex overtime and shift differential rules, OSHA and safety compliance requirements, skills-based scheduling needs, and union environments.

Manufacturing-Specific Challenges We Solve
Multi-Shift Scheduling Complexity
Manufacturing doesn’t stop at 5pm. Managing schedules across first, second, and third shifts—while balancing skills, certifications, and employee preferences—requires sophisticated time and labor management that generic HR systems can’t handle.
Complex Payroll and Overtime Compliance
Shift differentials, overtime calculations across pay periods, piece-rate pay, and multiple pay codes create complexity that compounds with every new hire. Most payroll errors in manufacturing aren’t software failures—they’re configuration problems. Our payroll services are configured specifically for manufacturing operations.
OSHA and Safety Credential Tracking
Manufacturing compliance isn’t optional. Tracking OSHA certifications, equipment operator credentials, and safety training across your workforce is both a legal requirement and an operational necessity.
“Multi-shift operations need precision that national providers can’t deliver from a distance. We configure systems to match how your floor actually runs.”
— Andy Zelt, Founder & CEO, Axiom HRS
