How Plasmine saves over 10 days a year on payroll tax filings

Plasmine Technology, Inc. is a manufacturer of paper specialty and sizing chemicals. As the company grew, manual, paper-based processes for payroll, PTO, and benefits were holding the team back.

Plasmine turned to Greenshades to automate payroll tax filings, PTO tracking, and benefits management.

Payroll, PTO, and benefits all ran on spreadsheets and paper — slow, error-prone, and hard to scale as Plasmine grew.

Paper-based PTO. Time off was tracked on outdated paper and spreadsheets, with no clear visibility.

Slow tax filings. Multi-state payroll tax filings took days of manual effort every quarter.

Clunky open enrollment. Benefits enrollment was manual, leaving employees without easy access to their options.

Limited employee visibility. Employees lacked a simple way to see their pay and benefit details.

Greenshades changed three separate areas for Plasmine — payroll tax filings, PTO tracking, and benefits:

Payroll tax filings moved from days to minutes. Multi-state payroll tax filings that took days are now done electronically in minutes.

PTO tracking is automated. PTO moved from spreadsheets to an automated system with seamless supervisor approvals and better visibility.

Open enrollment is streamlined. The benefits platform simplified open enrollment and gives employees instant access to their options.

Every pay stub shows the details. Green Employee shows a clear breakdown of benefit values and pay details, so employees always have what they need.

Payroll tax filings across multiple states are now completed electronically in minutes, saving 2.5 days per quarter and six hours at year-end.

PTO tracking moved from spreadsheets to an automated system, enabling seamless supervisor approvals and better visibility. The benefits platform streamlined open enrollment, giving employees instant access to their options and a clear breakdown of benefit values on every pay stub.

These improvements have saved time and created a more positive employee experience — with a transition Plasmine's CFO called “incredibly smooth.”
