How Peoplelink runs payroll nearly two days faster

Peoplelink, a $300 million mid-sized staffing company, processes payroll weekly for about 5,000 employees. With five divisions each using separate legacy systems, payroll became fragmented, leading to manual workarounds, redundancies, and delayed payroll cycles.

Following a competitive RFP process, Peoplelink selected Greenshades Payroll, integrated with Bullhorn, to unify payroll, automate compliance, and modernize its operations.

Operating across five divisions, from professional staffing with consultant travel and per diems to high-volume operations, Peoplelink's technology stack had become a barrier to growth.

Fragmented infrastructure. Separate instances made cross-selling and sharing talent difficult.

Manual processes. Repetitive workarounds increased vulnerability to errors.

Compliance risk. Teams invested extensive manual effort to maintain county-level payroll tax compliance.

Slow payroll cycle. Payroll wasn't completed until late in the week.

Peoplelink selected Greenshades Payroll, integrated with Bullhorn, after a competitive RFP where Greenshades scored highest in compliance, features, and cost.

One pay run across all five divisions. A single payroll platform replaced days of manual workarounds across every division.

County-level tax compliance runs automatically. County-level payroll tax, ACA 1094/1095-C reporting, PTO, and garnishments now run without manual workarounds.

Integrated with Bullhorn. Greenshades Payroll links front- and back-office operations, keeping placements and pay in sync across the staffing workflow.

A skeptic became an advocate. The payroll manager, initially hesitant to leave the old system, became one of Greenshades' strongest advocates during the transition.

Peoplelink immediately improved payroll efficiency, reducing the cycle by nearly two days and freeing up valuable time each week. Fewer manual interventions resulted in lower errors, rework, and payroll stress.

Greenshades also automated county-level payroll tax compliance, eliminating manual workarounds and saving staff time. The platform manages PTO, garnishments, and ACA 1094/1095-C reporting, giving Peoplelink full visibility and control.
