Case Study: Bryan Health achieves faster enterprise-wide payroll changes and improved staff retention with Symplr Time & Attendance

Bryan Health Implements Enterprise-Wide Payroll Changes with Ease

Bryan Health, a Nebraska‑based nonprofit health system with six hospitals and more than 6,500 staff, was hampered by an antiquated payroll system that couldn’t provide workforce analytics or quickly implement enterprise‑wide payroll changes. Facing increased reliance on temporary labor, staffing shortages, and a stretched five‑person payroll team, Bryan Health turned to Symplr and deployed Symplr’s Time and Attendance solution (along with Symplr Learning and Symplr Clinical Communications) to address these challenges.

Symplr configured complex premium and incentive pay rules and guided the proper hierarchy, enabling Bryan Health to implement system‑wide payroll changes in weeks instead of months, reduce administrative burden, and improve payroll team work/life balance. As a result—with Symplr’s ongoing technical and consultative support—Bryan Health has seen better staff retention, increased uptake of incentivized nontraditional shifts, reduced reliance on temporary labor, and more robust payroll data to drive workforce decisions as it onboards additional hospitals.
