One new client, narrated
Ridgeline Outdoor Supply Co. switches providers mid-year — two states, existing data and all — without losing a day, a data field, or a dollar of history. Walked through out loud, stage by stage, in under two minutes.
The moment the contract is signed
Signing doesn't start a queue — it starts the tenant. The moment the deal is marked won, Ridgeline's environment provisions itself: a workspace, a login for their HR admin, an implementation case already open.
Whatever system they're leaving
Ridgeline's census, leave balances, and pay register import straight from their outgoing provider — seven formats supported. Every row gets graded automatically: clean data passes, and a real problem blocks the batch instead of becoming a payroll mistake three weeks later.
Mid-year switches are the hard case
Ridgeline moved over mid-year, not January 1st — the case a lot of providers get wrong. Year-to-date wages and taxes carry forward so Social Security and Medicare caps stay correct, and every employee's leave balance comes across with them.
Two states, day one
Ridgeline pays people in California and Texas. Both states' tax registrations and workers' comp classifications get set up as part of implementation — not discovered missing the week of the first run.
Before the first run
Readiness isn't a self-reported checklist a coordinator fills out and hopes is true — it's derived from Ridgeline's real, live configuration, every time it's viewed.
The payoff
Ridgeline's first payroll goes out clean — the same engine, the same compliance checks as every run after it. And every employee who came over gets the same onboarding as the new hire in The Onboarding Tour — the same checklist, just all at once instead of one at a time.
Six stages, one client, and a switch that didn't cost anyone their history — data, compliance, or a day of waiting. Every employee who came over gets the same first day as the one in The Onboarding Tour; this is just what happens before any of them log in.
