Case Study: Buy Sod
Buy Sod Inc. Partners with Paycor to Pay Employees & Maintain Tax Compliance
“Because we’re a niche company, our administrators sometimes have trouble
uncovering and implementing best practices. But when we partnered with
Paycor they brought the expertise and thought leadership to help us overcome
tough challenges like the new EEO-1 report. Paycor has the patience, knowledge and resources to help us stay ahead of problems and grow.”
- Jennifer Hillard, Director of People and Culture
Why Buy Sod Inc. Chose Paycor
In 2002, three family businesses came together to create a network of sod farms that operate and distribute around the country. But with ten locations and eighteen different payrolls to process, Buy Sod Inc. struggled to manage all their employees on one solution. They needed a more robust solution to handle all their unique needs.
Prior to Paycor
Buy Sod Inc. employs a large remote workforce in different states.
Without mobile access to paystubs, employees relied on HR to
answer their questions. As a result, administrators were bogged
down with answering the same questions.
And because they operated in multiple states, Buy Sod Inc. struggled
to calculate payroll taxes on their own. Without access to tax
experts, HR administrators spent multiple hours every pay
period reviewing payruns to ensure compliance
Challenges
- Lacked employee self-service
- Manual payroll processing
- Manual onboarding
- ACA reporting
- Lacked access to tax experts
- Recruiting talent
With Paycor

Having one hub for all employee data means admins never have to switch platforms, log-in to multiple systems, re-key information or open multiple spreadsheets to access data. And with Paycor’s mobile app, employees can review pay information, view deductions, interact with payroll administrators and request time off, right from the app.
