Case Study: Weigel’s achieves improved retention and attracts talent with Paylocity

Leading Retailer Embraces HR Innovation to Support A Growing Business

Weigel’s, a family-owned retailer with 73 convenience stores and about 1,300 employees planning to add seven more locations, faced growing recruitment and retention challenges in a tight labor market and competition from the gig economy. To strengthen recruiting, engagement, and HR visibility, Weigel’s partnered with Paylocity and adopted tools including On Demand Payment, Scheduling, Community, Insights & Recommendations, Surveys, and the mobile Employee Self-Service app.

Paylocity enabled Weigel’s to offer employees up to 50% of earned wages same day, introduce four-day-week scheduling and shift-swap capabilities, and build company-wide communications and survey-driven insights—consolidated on one platform across 73 locations. The result: a stronger, more connected culture, consistently high applicant rates, no closed shifts, faster HR reporting (custom dashboards in about 15 minutes), and improved cross‑functional decision‑making, all credited to Paylocity’s solutions.
