Case Study: Silver Springs Golf & Country Club achieves seamless, cloud-based payroll and reduced manual errors with Rise People

How a Private Golf Course Teed up Success with All-in-one People Management

Silver Springs Golf & Country Club, a 50‑year‑old private course just outside Calgary, needed to replace an archaic payroll system that relied on manual processes and caused seasonal headaches when more than 100 employees were on the books. Controller Russel Ens wanted a simple, efficient, cloud‑based solution that could be used remotely and reduce human error and password/reset issues each season.

They implemented Rise, a cloud payroll platform with strong support and a smooth three‑month rollout. Rise enabled remote payroll runs during COVID, delivered timely paystubs to employees, cut manual work and errors, and improved staff experience—prompting Silver Springs to expand into Rise’s HR and time capture modules.
