Case Study: Gerber Poultry achieves 10-hour weekly payroll savings and streamlined HR with Paycor

Gerber Poultry - Customer Case Study

Gerber Poultry, a mid-size poultry processor in Kidron, Ohio with 500+ employees, faced recurring payroll errors, poor customer service from their previous vendor, and time-consuming manual HR processes like recruiting, onboarding and reporting. These issues disrupted operations, forced staff to double- and triple-check deductions and taxes, and left HR spending many hours each week on administrative tasks.

By switching to Paycor, Gerber automated applicant tracking and electronic onboarding, adopted an accurate payroll and time & attendance system, and gained customizable reporting and responsive support. The change removed manual entry from onboarding (saving more than an hour per new hire), cut payroll processing time by about 10 hours per week, and reduced the 8–12 hour monthly reporting burden with saved, repeatable reports—delivering smoother operations and more time for strategic work.
