Snelling Staffing Services Announces Success of Paperless Payroll Program

Snelling Staffing Services today announced the success of their paperless payroll initiative. By replacing paper paychecks with a payroll card and electronic pay options, Snelling will provide all of their employees with greater convenience, security and reduced costs in accessing pay.

"Our business is based on having a talented, available workforce, so it is critical for us to provide added benefits to attract and retain quality workers," stated Roger Rohus, VP, Payroll and Billing Services, Snelling Staffing Services. "The Ecount Payroll Choices Program will enable us to pay all of our workers electronically and paperlessly, removing the need for employees to come to the office to pick up their checks, ensuring the security and safety of funds with zero liability protection, eliminating check cashing fees and guaranteeing pay on-time, every time."

Ecount, a Citi company, provides Snelling with the Payroll Choices Program, which provides organizations with the tools to convert their employee base to 100 percent paperless and electronic payroll. A cornerstone of the program is the Ecount Payroll Card, a prepaid Visa® card, that enables organizations to eliminate paper check management, and the high cost and hassles associated with them. In addition, Ecount provides electronic paystubs, compliance tools and easy technology integration (read: no technology investment), together with a strategy and team of consultative experts to help businesses achieve their corporate objectives.

Most organizations are looking for ways to trim unnecessary costs from their budget -- and migrating payroll from a paper-based, inefficient, manual process to a streamlined, paperless payroll is a great way to reduce avoidable expenditures. For organizations with a less-than-optimal direct deposit adoption rate, the Ecount Payroll Choices Program has quickly become the answer to their payroll problems enabling companies to provide desirable options to employees, while still effectively achieving a paperless and electronic payroll.

"Snelling, like all of our clients, relies on their workforce for their business," stated Matt Gillin, CEO of Ecount. "With the Payroll Choices Program, corporations are able to provide a real benefit to their employees, while improving their overall operations. By eliminating paper from their payroll processing, our clients are achieving cost savings of up to 75 percent, streamlining operations, eliminating the on-site payday 'fire drill' and providing a better payday experience for their employees."
