Case Study: Fontbonne University achieves streamlined hiring and labor tracking with Paycor

How Fontbonne University Found an Easier Way to Manage Hiring and Labor Tracking with Paycor

Fontbonne University, a St. Louis–area institution focused on preparing students for meaningful careers, struggled with fragmented HR and payroll systems that created multiple log-ins, unreliable support, a complex time-and-attendance process, manual recruiting and onboarding paperwork, and difficult IPEDS reporting and general ledger linking—challenges that made managing student workers and multi-job staff cumbersome.

By adopting Paycor’s unified HCM platform—including applicant tracking, onboarding, time & attendance, payroll, reporting and dedicated payroll specialists—Fontbonne centralized recruiting, eliminated paper onboarding, enabled student workers to clock across departments, and linked earning codes to the general ledger. The change saved one hour per new student hire (about 300 hours each fall), gave payroll staff like Lucy Marty 150 hours back annually, simplified IPEDS reporting, and improved overall HR and payroll efficiency.
