Case Study: The Kennedy Group cuts payroll from 3 days to 90 minutes and boosts revenue 10–20% with Paylocity

Manufacturing Innovation Meets State-of-the-Art HR

The Kennedy Group, a Willoughby, Ohio product-labeling manufacturer with nearly 100 employees, needed to modernize payroll and HR administration to streamline operations and support growth. They selected Paylocity for an integrated HR & Payroll solution, including self-service portals, performance management, reporting, integrations, Community, Partner Portal access and Data Insights.

Paylocity implemented a centralized platform with plant kiosks for time entry, automated onboarding and benefits, Performance Management and a Partner Portal for the 401(k) advisor, plus reporting dashboards. The result: payroll processing fell from three days to 90 minutes, seamless integrations with VOYA 401(k) and Guardian insurance, elimination of 401(k) audit issues, improved manager-employee communication, and a 10–20% revenue increase without adding headcount.
