Case Study: Sunshine Solar achieves 20-minute multi-state payroll with ADP

Tackling Part-Time, Multi-State Payroll With Ease

Sunshine Solar, founded by Emilie O’Leary in 2016, is a Marietta-based solar installation company that hires a small traveling core crew plus 30–40 local part-time workers for projects across multiple states. Managing multi-state payroll with varying deductions for transportation, lodging and per diem using her bank’s ACH solution was slow and error-prone—taking as long as 20 minutes per employee and a full day to complete payroll.

After meeting with an ADP representative, Sunshine Solar implemented RUN Powered by ADP, which handles state-specific payroll rules and complex deductions and offers a mobile app for on-the-go processing. Payroll that once took a day now takes about 20 minutes, freeing O’Leary to focus on bills, clients and growing the business.
