Paulina Larrain, co-owner of ameriCARE Portland, runs payroll herself for a home care team that continues to grow. Before Netchex, payroll took 90 minutes. Now it takes less than 15.

The problem: manual payroll that didn't scale
Caregiver hours lived in WellSky, but with ADP Run she had no integration, so Paulina keyed every payroll in by hand. As the team grew, she blocked 90 minutes for each run and constantly worried about mistakes.
"Payroll was manageable when we first started out. But as the team grew, I was more and more scared I'd get something wrong."

WellSky hours, straight into payroll. Paulina exports caregiver hours from WellSky and uploads them straight into Netchex, with no file manipulation needed. Payroll now takes under 15 minutes.
"Now it's just download, upload, done. Payroll takes me less than 15 minutes, and I get that time back in my day."

"Before, I had three or four different applications to send new hires to. Now everything lives in Netchex."
Paulina Larrain, ameriCARE PortlandBuilt-in checks for peace of mind. Netchex flags possible errors before payroll runs, and reports split caregiver and owner payroll, so Paulina sees what she needs at a glance.
"Before Netchex, I was typing in numbers and hoping they were right. Now Netchex automatically flags anything that could be wrong."
Paulina Larrain, ameriCARE Portland"Netchex has made it really easy to grow quickly. Payroll is something I don't even think about anymore, and the product updates actually help a small business like mine."
