A Message from Mark Haase, SGW Payroll CEO
25/03/2020
The last few weeks have brought about unprecedented change in just about everything we do, in both our personal and professional lives.
We want to take this opportunity to let you know that although the UK have entered lockdown phase, SG World Payroll is classed as an essential business and is here to support our customer base, including the food and logistics supply chain. We will continue to help you meet the challenge of operating under extremely difficult circumstances without dropping the ball on the company payroll.
To achieve this and keep our own workforce safe we have reviewed and adapted our production processes and reduced staffing in line with government advice and current demand. We now have a three month plan in place where we are confident we can protect the health of our employees through measures such as temperature screening and rigorous hygiene control; and continue to support our customer base.
It’s going to be tough but it is our hope that we will come through this pandemic together. Thank you for your continued business and please stay safe.
