Case Study: City of St. Cloud, Florida achieves HR modernization and 1,500 hours saved with Paylocity

City of St. Cloud (FL) Modernizes HR to Maximize Value for Taxpayers’ Money

City of St. Cloud, Florida was hampered by decades-old green‑screen systems and decentralized, paper-based HR processes that made training, time collection, and cross‑department collaboration slow, opaque, and costly. Seeking an affordable, one‑stop solution that would deliver value for taxpayers, the city turned to Paylocity and its suite of tools, including Learning, Time Collection, Scheduling, Community, and Employee Self‑Service.

Paylocity centralized training and learning, automated scheduling and time collection (including a mobile clock‑in), and launched Community for employee collaboration—enabling one training manager to serve 585 employees and freeing departments from organizing their own sessions. The result: about 1,500 hours saved in the first six months, a reported 5x increase in HR productivity, fewer missed punches and better shift coverage, and a more connected organizational culture.
