Why Choose Paychex?

Discovery Senior Living expanded by more than 170 communities in five years and is still rapidly growing. Finding the right company that could support their payroll and HR administrative needs stopped with Paychex.

“When we acquire a new community, continuity in the team members is very critical to the residents, so it’s very critical for us to ensure … all these team members are enrolled in a payroll system, signed up for their benefits, get their 401(k).”

Lisa Lacy, Senior Vice President of HR
