Case Study: South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative reduces payroll processing time and improves data accuracy with Skyward School Business Suite

South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative cuts payroll processing time from over two weeks to 3 days with Skyward

The South Central Kansas Special Education Cooperative (SCKSEC) faced challenges with a manual, paper-based payroll system that was time-consuming and prone to inaccuracies. To improve internal controls and accountability across its eight counties, the cooperative turned to the vendor Skyward and implemented its School Business Suite.

Skyward's solution automated the payroll and timekeeping process with its True Time feature. This resulted in payroll processing time being reduced from over two weeks to just three days. The cooperative achieved significant savings, reducing its annual payroll by 1,000 hours, which allowed them to give employees raises while still staying under the previous year's payroll budget. Skyward also provided improved data reporting and greater accountability for hours worked.
