Payroll Link Puppy Play Zone

Booth #508

Adopt a New HCM Solution!

Payroll Link, Inc. | 10251 Trademark, Bldg B | Rancho Cucamonga, California
Category: Payroll Software, HRIS & Web-based Services

We’ll cut to the chase. Payroll Link is raising the bar in the CAHR19 Expo by providing the first-ever PUPPY PLAY ZONE. (C’mon, even their logo features a pup – it’s perfect!)

Partnering with local adoption shelter Priceless Pet Rescue, an organization with personal ties, and where one employee even volunteers their personal free time, Payroll Link wanted to offer something different at CAHR19 that would help them meet potential clients who share their values.

And the best part? Payroll Link is covering ALL ADOPTION FEES at CAHR19! Normally these fees are $150 for an adult dog, and $350 for a puppy. If you’re looking to add to your family, take home a vaccinated, spayed, neutured pup at no cost thanks to Payroll Link.

Not in the adoption market, but want to play with some pups? The Payroll Link Puppy Play Zone hours of operation are 10:30am – 2:00pm on Monday and Tuesday at the CAHR19 Expo. Adopt a new HCM solution – and a new friend!
