​​Case Study: Transforming Payroll Management at Sunshine Nursing Home

Introduction

Sunshine Nursing Home, nestled in the heart of Mumbai, is a small yet bustling facility with a dedicated team of 55 employees. Despite its commendable service in healthcare, Sunshine faced significant challenges in managing payroll effectively. The manual, time-consuming process not only drained resources but also diverted attention from their core mission of providing exceptional care.

The Problem

Sunshine Nursing Home's payroll process was fraught with inefficiencies. Manual data entry led to frequent errors, with approximately 20% of payslips each month containing discrepancies. This resulted in an average of ₹50,000 in incorrect payments and an additional ₹30,000 spent on rectifying mistakes. Moreover, the HR team spent around 60 hours each month managing payroll-related tasks, severely impacting their productivity. The outdated system also struggled with compliance, risking fines and legal complications.

The Solution

In search of a solution, Sunshine Nursing Home turned to Perk Payroll, drawn by its promise of simplicity, efficiency, and compliance. Perk Payroll's cloud-based software offered an all-in-one solution for payroll management, attendance tracking, and tax compliance, specifically tailored for the Indian market.

Implementation:

The software's intuitive design and dedicated support team made onboarding a breeze, requiring only a two-week period to fully integrate Perk Payroll into Sunshine’s daily operations. The HR team received comprehensive training, ensuring they could leverage all features effectively.

• Increased Productivity: With the HR team spending less time on payroll, they were able to implement new employee wellness programs. Employee satisfaction scores rose by 30%, indirectly boosting patient care quality.
