Case Study: Triangle Montessori Academy achieves streamlined payroll and reduced time theft with ADP

A Valuable Lesson in Outsourcing Payroll

Triangle Montessori Academy, a growing early‑education school in Cary, NC, found payroll became a major drain after switching from ADP to a cheaper provider. As the school expanded — including plans to convert 6,000 sq ft into classrooms — the owner’s small HR team spent excessive time compiling hours, massaging spreadsheets and answering payroll questions, and some employees were even falsifying time because the provider lacked robust attendance controls.

Returning to RUN Powered by ADP gave the school an integrated payroll, time & attendance and recruiting solution that stopped falsified punches with GPS‑based proximity checks, cut payroll prep to minutes each month, and eliminated the need for a full‑time bookkeeper. The recruiting tools also helped fill teacher positions without costly job boards, saving time and reducing waste while keeping payroll simple and reliable.
