Founded in 1976, Leisure Care is one of the nation’s largest privately held retirement and assisted living companies. Through collaboration with ADP®, Leisure Care successfully revamped its benefits package, which now includes Wisely® by ADP and early wage access. These enhancements have propelled the company to new heights in terms of growth and employee retention.
Partnering with ADP has resulted in a notable decrease in liability and an increase in compliance. Implementing processes and attestations has significantly reduced our wage and hour liability.
