Case Study: Cobb County Marietta Water Authority achieves 10 hours saved per pay period and streamlined HR with Paycor

A need for reliable HR systems and improved customer service led Cobb County Marietta Water Authority to Paycor

Cobb County Marietta Water Authority (CCMWA), which provides drinking water across a region prone to severe drought, was hampered by three disconnected HR systems, excessive manual data entry and frequent payroll errors across its 100+ employee organization. Processing payroll consumed 12 hours each pay period, and HR was overwhelmed by retirements and a surge of applicant volume they couldn’t efficiently manage.

Paycor consolidated payroll, HR, recruiting and onboarding into a single platform with one sign‑on, employee self‑service and dedicated support, giving CCMWA a single source of truth and streamlined hiring processes. The switch eliminated much of the manual work, reduced errors, improved visibility for administrators and saved CCMWA 10 hours per pay period.
