Case Study: Drew Memorial Health System achieves faster payroll and smoother HR onboarding with ADP Workforce Now

The best of the best in HR and payroll

Drew Memorial Health System is a 60‑bed, community‑owned non‑profit hospital in Monticello, Arkansas, serving about 200,000 people with roughly 400 employees. Accounting Manager Thomas LaFever says their previous Paychex setup suffered from HR and payroll modules that didn’t communicate well, creating a stressful, inefficient payroll and onboarding process.

After evaluating demos, they implemented ADP Workforce Now; ADP’s project management and thorough testing ensured promised features were correctly set up. The result: a more user‑friendly system, faster onboarding, and payroll processing reduced from about three days to a day and a half, with strong customer support and time savings across the organization.
