Case Study: Wolfies Swim School achieves streamlined HR, 79% faster payroll, and reduced costs with Paylocity

How Wolfies Swim School is leveraging Recognition & Rewards to build a thriving and engaged workforce

Wolfies Swim School, a growing leisure business with 60+ employees and two Houston locations, was struggling with complex HR tasks for a largely seasonal workforce and a fragmented tech stack after its previous vendor under-delivered. Faced with manual payroll, PTO tracking in spreadsheets, multiple scheduling and communication apps, and poor vendor support, Wolfies selected Paylocity and its HCM platform to replace the patchwork of tools and simplify HR operations.

Paylocity implemented an integrated solution—using Payroll, Time & Labor, Recruiting & Onboarding, On Demand Payment, Recognition & Rewards, Community and Learning modules—that consolidated five systems into one. The result: hundreds of hours saved annually, a 79% reduction in payroll processing time (from about two hours to 25 minutes), lower costs, streamlined recruiting and onboarding, better scheduling and on-demand pay for employees, and improved culture and compliance through recognition, mobile access, and training reports.
