Case Study: YMCA Salina
Paycor’s automated HR & payroll technology helps the Salina Family YMCA eliminate costly errors and streamline tedious tasks. “Many of our employees work in multiple departments and locations at different pay rates.

But with Paycor Time, we can identify errors and resolve discrepancies before they become an issue.” - Angie Lassley, CEO Prior to Paycor All HR processes were paper-based.
