How First Century Bank moved beyond its retiring payroll system

THE STORY

A retiring Jack Henry payroll module forced a change

First Century Bank (FCB) is a community bank that ran payroll on the basic module built into its Jack Henry ERP.

When that legacy payroll module reached end of life, FCB needed a reliable, adaptable replacement — one built for banking and easy for the team to use.

THE CHALLENGE

The legacy payroll module was reaching end of life

When the basic payroll module in FCB's Jack Henry ERP reached end of life, the bank needed a reliable, adaptable replacement.

Legacy end-of-life. The basic payroll module in their Jack Henry ERP was being retired.

Urgent timeline. FCB needed a reliable replacement before support ran out.

Industry-specific needs. Banking processes required a provider that could accommodate them.

Usability mattered. The new system had to be genuinely easy to use for the team.

WHAT CHANGED

Payroll and HR moved onto a system built for banking

FCB moved to Greenshades Payroll & HR Plus, a platform built for banking's specific payroll and HR processes.

Payroll accruals became visible. An intuitive dashboard gives FCB a detailed breakdown of payroll accruals it didn't have before.

Time tracking and benefits enrollment moved onto one platform. The bank now manages employee time tracking and benefits enrollment directly in Greenshades, in place of the retired Jack Henry module.

Decisions are backed by clearer data. With payroll and HR data in one place, FCB can make decisions with the numbers in front of them.

"We were thoroughly impressed by the transformative results of implementing Greenshades Payroll.

The efficiency it brought to our payroll processing experience has been remarkable, and we believe this solution will have a significant positive impact on other community banks as well.

Greenshades is a true game-changer, and we're eagerly looking forward to witnessing the ongoing evolution of their payroll solutions within the banking industry."
