Case Study: Country Butcher Fine Foods achieves streamlined payroll and 401(k) implementation with PrimePay

Country Butcher Fine Foods - Customer Case Study

Country Butcher Fine Foods, newly acquired in September 2021 by Karen DeRasmo and family, inherited a 25‑employee shop and an existing PrimePay payroll administration system but lacked hands‑on HR/payroll experience. The new owners needed to rename and reconfigure the account (DeRasmo Specialty Foods dba Country Butcher), introduce a 401(k) plan for employees who had never had one, and resolve complicated multi‑state payroll tax issues.

PrimePay provided onboarding and ongoing support to set up the new account, automate payroll and tax calculations, manage W‑2 distribution and direct deposit, and implement 401(k) recordkeeping and deductions. As a result, PrimePay simplified processes, improved transparency and staff satisfaction, enabled retirement savings for employees, and drastically reduced administrative time—DeRasmo reports payroll now takes about an hour a week—freeing owners to focus on serving customers.
