Case Study: Smuttynose Brewing Company achieves streamlined HR and accurate payroll compliance with Paycor

Compliance concerns and a desire to streamline their overall HR process led Smuttynose Brewing Company to Paycor

Smuttynose Brewing Company, a 25-year-old brewery in Hampton, New Hampshire with about 110 employees across the Northeast, faced inefficient HR processes and compliance risks. With workers scattered across multiple states they struggled to track hours by location, manually manage recruiting and onboarding, and discovered inaccuracies in tax filings — prompting the search for a new HR and payroll partner.

Paycor delivered a unified solution — HR, applicant tracking, onboarding, time & attendance, payroll, LMS and workforce insights — that centralized employee data and automated recruiting and onboarding workflows. Managers can now track hours by location, new hires complete paperwork before day one, and payroll runs without tax errors, resulting in significant time savings, stronger compliance, and a satisfied HR team confident in the partnership.
