Case Study: Firehouse Subs saves 87% on payroll costs and runs payroll in minutes with Patriot Software

Advantages of Switching to Payroll Services from a PEO

Jim Sherman, a franchisee who operates a single FireHouse Subs location in Mobile, Alabama with about 20 employees, had relied on a PEO for ten years because he thought he couldn't handle payroll himself. After pulling back the “black curtain of payroll,” he found Patriot Software’s online payroll service and decided to switch.

Using Patriot Software, Jim now processes payroll in about 15 minutes each week, cuts payroll processing costs by 87% (from $4,794.37 to $610.18 in the first year), and reduced his SUTA rate from 3.6% to 0.59%. The change delivered clear time and cost savings, faster weekly pay for employees (checks in about 28 hours), and simpler self-management of workers’ compensation and related tasks.
