Case Study: Shulman & Hill achieves automated HR and payroll — 16x faster onboarding and spreadsheet-free reporting with Paylocity

Law Firm Supports Sustainable Growth by Automating HR and Payroll

Shulman & Hill, an 80‑employee New York law firm with five offices, was struggling with a basic, paper-heavy payroll system that made onboarding slow, timecard management tedious, year‑end performance reviews disruptive, and reporting dependent on spreadsheets. To support rapid growth and improve collaboration between HR and Finance, the firm evaluated modern HCM options and engaged Paylocity, using modules including Onboarding, Time & Attendance, Performance, Insights & Recommendations, and the Paylocity Mobile App.

Paylocity implemented digital onboarding, mobile time‑clocking with geofencing, staggered performance reviews, and built‑in analytics, cutting onboarding from a full day to about 30 minutes (≈16x faster), reducing timecard error work by roughly 75%, and eliminating spreadsheet‑based HR reporting with ready dashboards. The Paylocity Mobile App also gave employees ownership of their HR data, while Insights & Recommendations enabled HR and Finance to deliver faster, more accurate business insights—freeing teams to focus on strategic priorities and supporting Shulman & Hill’s continued growth.
