Case Study: Elite Spice, Inc. achieves a 20% reduction in timekeeping and payroll processing with Attendance on Demand

Spice and Seasoning Manufacturer Improves Workforce Management Timekeeping and Payroll Processing Reduced by 20%

Elite Spice, a Maryland-based spice and seasoning manufacturer with about 400 employees across five locations, had outgrown a basic timekeeping system. The company faced limited reporting, duplicate data entry across separate HR and payroll systems, manual paper processes for temps and PTO, and complex shift scheduling that added hours to weekly payroll and admin tasks.

Working with Labor Strategy to deploy cloud-based Attendance on Demand, Elite Spice centralized employee data, automated repeating schedules, tracked temps electronically (with filtered exports to agencies), and integrated timekeeping with HR and payroll. The solution eliminated duplicate entry, improved reporting and accuracy, and sped up workforce management—reducing scheduling, time-tracking, and payroll processing time (about a 20% improvement) and cutting payroll preparation from a couple of hours to roughly 20 minutes.
