A growing church
puts its faith in Paycor

"Simply put, overall time spent on payroll has been reduced by more than 80%. "
Denise Nadwodny Finance Associate

Founded in 1979, the Village Church employs more than 140 people at three different locations near Dallas, Texas. Recently a huge upswing in attendance, membership and staffing led them to search for a new method of tracking the time and attendance of its staff.

Traditionally the church used a very old fashioned system. One that is labor-intensive and based on (error prone) manual calculations. Administrators at its three campuses were using paper time cards to track employees’ hours. The information was collected and manually entered into a database.

“It was very time consuming and, quite frankly, just too complex,” said Denise Nadwodny, Finance Associate with the Village Church.

The Village Church has employees who work at different campuses, employees who work from home, or at off-site events and they have missionaries overseas. This made attendance and payroll difficult, but it became near impossible due to the lack of integration in their payroll system. The information would never transfer correctly, so Denise would spend an entire day double-checking information, correcting all the mistakes and re-entering data.

“We needed a more universal solution.” said Denise. “And that solution was Paycor.”

How Paycor Helped

The switch to Paycor was seamless. And it brought them Time on Demand, a solution that simplified the collection and processing of labor data. It also brought them Paycor for Windows, their new payroll solution that would quickly prove itself an invaluable time saver.

“Paycor was great in how well they assisted us in making the transition,” said Denise. “They explained everything perfectly. The training was wonderful. The implementation was seamless.”

Managing a workforce that was spread across not just the country but the globe, was suddenly streamlined and simplified. Employees could clock in and out using their own PCs. And since all the data is collected in real-time and then stored in one place, hours can be allocated to different departments at multiple locations.

It was web access that also made life easier for handling the time once it was entered. “I’ll admit it,” said Denise. “I actually recently processed a payroll while I was on vacation.” She said that the entire time she was on her computer was just like being at the office. Everything is on her dashboard for quick and easy access – from leave requests and critical exceptions, to employee birthdays.

“Simply put, overall time spent on payroll has been reduced by more than 80%,” said Denise.

Time and attendance data now flows right into the Paycor for Windows payroll system. No duplicate data entry, the process is fully automated!

“From the beginning, Paycor understood where we were coming from and what we needed to do,” Denise said. “Plus, whenever we have a question, Paycor calls me in less than an hour with the answer. They truly make me feel like I am their only customer.”
