How Parks Marina avoided a $50K hire by connecting payroll

Parks Marina is a hospitality and retail business in the boating industry. As its workforce grew, especially during the busy summer season, managing seasonal hiring became a real challenge.

Running separate onboarding and payroll systems, the payroll administrator struggled to keep pace with the rapid influx of seasonal employees, to the point of considering hiring an assistant.

As Parks Marina's seasonal workforce surged each summer, separate onboarding and payroll systems couldn't keep pace.

Seasonal surges. The summer season brought a rapid influx of seasonal employees to onboard and pay.

Disconnected systems. Separate onboarding and payroll systems meant duplicate, manual work.

Overloaded administrator. One payroll administrator couldn't keep up with the growing workload.

Rising staffing costs. Keeping pace looked like it would require hiring an additional assistant.

Parks Marina unified onboarding, HR, and payroll on Greenshades' in-house platform.

One payroll administrator runs it all. The administrator now runs the whole process independently, avoiding the need to hire a payroll assistant.

Data flows from onboarding to payroll. Onboarding, HR, and payroll data flow together, cutting manual data entry.

Payroll adjusts on the fly. On-the-fly adjustments, instant recalculations, and unlimited pay runs keep payroll moving at the pace of the business.

Seasonal ramp-up is easier. An easy-to-use interface and efficient onboarding make seasonal hiring more manageable.

Parks Marina now manages onboarding, HR, and payroll in one system.

The payroll administrator oversees the process independently and no longer needs additional staff — avoiding the equivalent of a $50,000 salary for a payroll assistant.

With onboarding, HR, and payroll unified, seasonal hiring is faster and smoother, and the team spends far less time on manual work.
