Case Study: Sussex Housing & Care achieves over £29,000 in annual staff management savings with Planday

Sussex Housing & Care - Customer Case Study

Sussex Housing & Care, a not-for-profit care provider supporting more than 800 residents across four care homes and multiple retirement schemes, needed to move away from manual rota planning, paper timesheets, and slow payroll checks. The team was spending hours chasing staff availability, correcting inaccurate hours, and reviewing payroll, with manual staff management costing around £29,000 a year. Planday provided an online scheduling and time-and-attendance solution to simplify their operations.

With Planday, Sussex Housing & Care introduced digital rotas, tablet-based clock-in/out, open shift picking via the app, and clearer payroll reporting. Planday helped reduce payroll review from a full day or more to just a couple of hours, freed admins from a week of payroll work down to about a day, and improved accuracy and visibility across shifts and hours. Overall, Planday saved Sussex Housing & Care more than £29,000 a year and made staffing and payroll much faster and easier to manage.
