Construction payroll is one of the most complex compliance environments. This requires precision, adaptability and a platform designed to handle the operational realities of the industry, not just standard payroll functions. This is why being named Software Advice FrontRunner for construction payroll software in 2026 is of real importance to us.

This recognition is not a committee decision or industry nomination. It’s based entirely on verified reviews from real users: office managers, HR managers, and payroll professionals who rely on Employment Hero week after week to manage construction company payroll.

What FrontRunners Recognition Really Means

Software Advice’s FrontRunners methodology evaluates products across three dimensions: usability, customer satisfaction, and digital presence, by combining verified user reviews with market demand signals, including search visibility and review dynamics. Out of more than 180 products in the construction payroll category, only 10 to 25 products made the final list, with a minimum threshold of 20 unique verified reviews in the last 24 months, of which at least 10 must be from the most recent year. The products that made the list earned it through their performance, not their positioning.

What emerges from our user feedback: seamless digital integration and continuous product improvement. These are not coincidental features; they reflect the specific pressures that construction companies face on a daily basis.

Why construction payroll requires more

For those who don’t work in the industry, it’s helpful to understand exactly what makes construction payroll so demanding.

A typical construction company manages workers across multiple locations, often in locations with limited connectivity. They work with a mixed workforce: full-time staff, casuals, subcontractors and labor hiring arrangements operating within the framework of the same project. They must deal with complex compensation structures that include site allowances, travel time, shift premiums and overtime calculations that can vary depending on the project. And they do all this under sustained pressure from HMRC, the Employment Rights Act and, increasingly, from clients who require workforce compliance documents before they can begin work.

Getting it wrong has direct consequences. HMRC sanctions, national minimum wage breaches and erosion of employee confidence are not abstract risks; These are issues construction companies regularly face when their payroll processes can’t keep pace with operational complexity.

How Employment Hero is designed for this environment

Employment Hero brings together the payroll, HR and compliance functions that UK construction companies typically run on disconnected systems, replacing manual processes with a single platform designed for on-site staff.

Time and attendance with geofencing. Workers clock in and out via the Employment Hero mobile app with GPS location verification, eliminating paper timesheets across multiple locations. Hours are integrated directly into payroll, eliminating manual data entry and reducing the risk of timesheet disputes.

Roster management. Create rosters by role, site or location, forecast labor costs before hiring, and manage shift changes in real time. Workers can bid for shifts or retrieve available shifts directly from the app, helping to reduce administrative burden for on-site managers.

Automated payroll with built-in statutory compliance. Our payroll engine automatically calculates ordinary hours, shift premiums, overtime and site allowances in accordance with UK employment law – including HMRC requirements and applicable collective agreements – and with a full audit trail. Whether you manage payroll for directly employed staff, contingent employees, or mixed workforce arrangements, compliance is built into every calculation.

Digital integration for construction. Contracts, tax codes, national insurance details and on-site onboarding are completed before the stages of a new on-site hire. Construction compliance obligations start from day one; our onboarding workflows ensure that every worker is documented, verified and authorized before arrival.

Compliance health checks and HR advice. When employment legislation changes – from HMRC updates to developments in the Employment Rights Bill or site-specific compliance requirements – our team is available to help construction companies understand the implications and act quickly.

How SMD Reduced Payroll Time by 65% ​​and Gained Full Compliance Visibility with Employment Hero

Structural Metal Decks (SMD), a UK construction company that supplies, manufactures and installs specialist construction products across a multitude of sectors, has reduced weekly payroll processing time by 65% ​​and saved over £5,000 per year after switching to Employment Hero. We helped SMD take control by consolidating HR and payroll into one system, eliminating back and forth and saving a lot of time.

Recognize where we still have work to do

The Software Advice list captures honest user feedback, including areas where Employment Hero continues to improve. We take this seriously. Building a platform that truly works for construction companies, with all the complexity that entails, is a work in progress. FrontRunners recognition tells us we are on the right track. Reviews tell us what to focus on next.

If you are an Employment Hero customer in the construction industry and have had an experience worth sharing, we encourage you to leave a review. This helps other companies in the industry find the right tools and helps us understand where we can do better.

Employment Hero has been named Software Advice FrontRunner for Construction Payroll Software in 2026, based on verified user reviews and market demand data collected through March 2026. See the full list.

PakarPBN

A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.

In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.

The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.

BRISTOL, March 18, 2026: Six in ten business owners (61%) say they would recommend the South West as the best place to start a business, reveals data from Employment Hero, the global leader in HR, recruitment and payroll software. The results come as Employment Hero deepens its links to Bristol through partnerships with Bristol City Football Club and Bristol Bears.

New data from Employment Hero has highlighted confidence in the South West, with 61% of business owners saying they would recommend it as the best place to start a business and would not move if given the chance. The findings suggest there is also a strong talent pipeline, with 68% of SME leaders saying they can adequately meet their talent needs with the local workforce.

This local trust translates into economic loyalty: 84% of business leaders say they have prioritized a local supplier over cheaper national or international alternatives, making the South West the leading region in the UK for supporting local businesses. Nearly half (47%) of the region’s business owners disagree that London offers a more favorable business environment than theirs, and more than a third (38%) say the region is doing better economically than the UK’s national economy.

Employment Hero is committed to supporting small businesses across the UK and has identified Bristol and the South West as a key growth region. As part of this strategy, the company announced partnerships with Bristol City Football Club and Bristol Bears, both intended to deepen connections with and support local business leaders and the local community.

Working with both clubs, Employment Hero will collaborate on a program of activities aimed at engaging and supporting growing local businesses. This includes bespoke experiences for club business leaders, designed to provide an inside view of how elite teams operate behind the scenes. The joint program will also include employment law and compliance seminars for local businesses to help them adapt to the changes that will come into force with the upcoming Employment Rights Act.

Beyond business, Employment Hero will work with Bristol Bears Foundation on its Boost Your Future program – a free 6-12 week course helping young people gain the skills, confidence and motivation they need when entering education, employment or training. Support will include access to Employment Hero’s AI talent matching technology, skills development support, volunteer opportunities and training programs. The company will also offer businesses in Bristol free access to their payroll services as part of an initiative to support SMEs during regulatory changes.

Kevin Fitzgerald, UK managing director of Employment Hero, said:

“Small businesses have a presence in the South West and so do we. Our partnerships with Bristol City and Bristol Bears go way beyond just match day logos. It’s about working alongside two institutions at the heart of the community to provide practical support to local employers.

The data shows great confidence in local talent and the region’s economic future, but we also know it’s a challenging time for small businesses, with rising costs and regulatory changes creating uncertainty. Our message to Bristol businesses is that we are here to help and I look forward to working closely with the city’s employers in the months to come.

Charlie Boss, CEO of Bristol City, said:

“We are grateful for the incredible support of businesses across the city for the club and are proud of the role we play in bringing them together. This partnership gives us the opportunity to give something back and offer real support to the businesses who support us week after week.”

Tom Tainton, CEO of Bristol Bears, said:

“Bristol works because it’s a city that supports its people. That’s true in sport, and it’s true in business. When local employers feel confident in hiring local people, the whole city benefits. We’re committed to supporting this through the work of our Foundation and we’re delighted to involve Employment Hero in this program to support local people. For us, this partnership is about strengthening the connection between the club, the community and the small businesses that make Bristol thrive.” Watford and Bristol Bears during the Big Day Out match at the Principality Stadium on 28^th March.
