Deputy Launches Payroll Solution in the U.S.
In a significant leap forward for shift-based businesses, Deputy, the leading workforce management platform, has announced the launch of its Deputy Payroll service in the United States, enabled by the established payroll provider Paycor. This integration is designed to streamline processes, centralizing time tracking, compliance support, and payroll into one seamless workflow.
The collaboration between Deputy and Paycor not only enhances product functionality but also expands Deputy's market presence significantly. With Paycor's existing network catering to small and mid-sized employers across the nation, Deputy is set to penetrate a vast market of shift-based businesses reliant on payroll systems. This creates a streamlined channel for reaching potential customers, thereby accelerating acquisition efforts and minimizing friction in the purchasing process.
Managing payroll traditionally involves cumbersome, manual tasks that often lead to errors. Connecting approved timesheet data to payroll historically required multiple steps, each fraught with the risk of mistakes. The integration allows businesses to transfer time data, pay rates, and leave accruals into Paycor’s payroll system with just one action. This significant reduction in administrative burden not only cuts down on reconciliation errors but also slashes payroll processing time by up to 50%.
A multi-month pilot program involving sectors such as retail, healthcare, and food service has already demonstrated these efficiencies. Participants reported up to 50% reductions in payroll processing times and notable decreases in administrative errors, all while benefiting from a unified operational experience. “The reduction in extra steps to get approved timesheets into payroll is the biggest benefit,” remarked Marianne Lipari, Finance Manager at Exit 11 Coffee.
Darin Krum, owner of Eastham Ace Hardware, also praised the efficiency of the new system. He stated, “You finish your timesheets in Deputy, press 'send to Paycor,' and everything's right there. It reduced our payroll processing time by about half.” Such testimony underscores the potential for formidable time savings for businesses with complex payroll needs.
Kristina Stillwaugh, from Mineral Creek Ace Hardware, emphasized the direct impact, noting that the integration helps save her between 45 minutes to an hour every pay period, adding up to substantial savings over the year—time that can be redirected to improving customer service and employee development.
The Deputy Payroll system offers complete transparency throughout the payroll process, ensuring managerial oversight before submission while allowing employees to access Paycor-generated pay stubs through the Deputy mobile app. This direct connection between work performed and wages earned enhances the user experience and promotes employee satisfaction.
As Deputy continues to grow its services, this integration represents a pivotal development in its trajectory. Deputy's CEO, Silvija Martincevic, commented on the significance of this launch: "By unifying workforce management and payroll in a single workflow, we’re reducing friction and improving accuracy. This collaboration through Paycor’s employer network allows us to deliver scalable solutions to a broader audience." He recognized that the increasing complexity of operations for shift-based employers necessitates connected systems that support both operational demands and financial processes.
With over 1.5 million workers and 385,000 businesses relying on its platform globally, Deputy is reinforcing its role as the central hub for workforce management. The introduction of Deputy Payroll is poised to enhance its offerings further and confirms its commitment to meet the unique challenges faced by businesses with shift-based operations.
In conclusion, Deputy Payroll, integrated with Paycor, is now available to all U.S. customers. As it becomes a vital tool for businesses aiming to optimize their payroll processes, many can look forward to improved operational efficiency and a more streamlined payroll experience.
