Case Study: Phoenix Senior Living achieves $500K annual savings and streamlined payroll with Paylocity

How Phoenix Senior Living saved big by streamlining their HR processes with Paylocity

Phoenix Senior Living, a fast-growing senior living operator with 2,500 employees across 48 locations, was struggling with rising turnover, costly and inflexible HR/payroll systems (previously paying $1.2M/year to ADP), and manual, paper-based onboarding and compliance processes. To address these challenges, the organization selected Paylocity and its core HR platform to replace the legacy system.

Paylocity deployed Payroll, Recruiting, Onboarding, Integrations, the Paylocity Mobile App, and Employee Voice, centralizing HR for all 48 locations and digitizing key workflows. The move delivered clear results: $500K in annual cost savings, two FTEs now process four bi-weekly payrolls for 2,500 employees, paperless onboarding and improved I-9 compliance, better employee access via mobile, and actionable survey insights to help reduce turnover.
