Case Study: McDonald's
A McDonald’s organization needed Payroll and ACA reporting that seamlessly integrated with QsrSoft.



Prior to Paycor
Without an integrated payroll system, McDonald’s administrators had to manually import hours worked from their timekeeping system and also check for any errors. Administrators manually tracked 1,000+ employees’ ACA eligibility during a time of high turnover. When there was a question or problem, lack of a dedicated support team from their previous provider meant time wasted on hold or spent providing background details and information—again.
Challenges
- Time-consuming payroll process
- Limited reporting
- Poor customer service
- Lack of payroll solution integration

Demotion Letter Template
There’s nothing better than seeing employees thrive, but setbacks and slips in performance do happen. One way to address performance problems is a demotion.

Maximum PTO Accrual Letter
Encouraging employees to use their vacation days can feel strange. After all, nobody wants to leave themselves under-staffed and the rest of their team over-worked. On the other hand, what if employees rarely ever, or even never, take time off? That’s been a question facing business owners this year, as vacation plans were delayed, then cancelled, and PTO built up like never before.One problem is, PTO payout laws can turn unused PTO into an unwanted financial liability.
