Case Study: Northshore Christian Academy streamlines HR and payroll with PayNorthwest

Northshore Christian Academy Streamlines HR & Payroll with PayNorthwest’s Cloud-based Platform

Northshore Christian Academy, a school in Everett, Washington, struggled with a cumbersome and labor-intensive in-house payroll process. Their previous outsourced solutions were expensive, not user-friendly, and did not provide employees with direct access to their information. This inefficiency consumed the HR staff's time with tactical tasks, preventing them from focusing on more strategic work. They sought a new partner to help them go paperless, cut costs, and streamline administration, leading them to the vendor PayNW.

PayNW implemented its cloud-based platform to consolidate HR and payroll functions. The solution integrated with the school's existing Great Plains accounting system and provided 100% employee self-service. This shift resulted in a 60-75% time savings on payroll processing and a 50% time savings on staff recruitment cycles. The dramatic increase in staff productivity allowed the HR team at Northshore Christian Academy to focus on strategic initiatives like onboarding and company culture.
