Case Study: Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas achieves simplified HR and payroll across 160+ parishes with Paylocity

Archdiocese Simplifies HR & Payroll Among Parishes

The Archdiocese of Kansas City in Kansas, a nonprofit overseeing nearly 160 independent parishes, schools and ministries with 5,000+ employees, faced a complex payroll and HR challenge: dozens of separate tax‑ID entities, diverse pay structures, legacy paper processes, and a lean team besieged by daily support requests. In 2019 they turned to Paylocity for a comprehensive HR and payroll solution, including payroll, onboarding, recruiting, mobile time/clock, Community and reporting capabilities.

Paylocity provided a tailored platform plus a dedicated Diocese service team, Community collaboration tools, integrated Onboarding-to-Payroll workflows, mobile time tracking, and robust reporting. As a result Paylocity dramatically reduced the volume of daily support (the Archdiocese previously handled roughly 50 payroll emails and a similar number of calls per day), freed HR time for strategic work, simplified seasonal hiring and improved payroll reliability and reporting across entities.
