Streamlining Payroll with DP Assist
Managing payroll for a large workforce can be a daunting task, especially for organizations handling complex employee structures and compliance requirements. Dominion Payroll offers a comprehensive solution with DP Assist, a hands-on support program that simplifies payroll processing, onboarding, offboarding, and compliance management.
One behavioral health organization in Fredericksburg, VA, discovered firsthand how DP Assist could revolutionize their payroll operations, saving valuable time and resources.
The Challenge: A Time-Consuming Payroll Process
This behavioral health organization employs 585 individuals, including 311 salaried staff, 271 hourly workers, and 9 unpaid interns. With a bi-weekly payroll cycle, processing payroll efficiently while ensuring accuracy and compliance was a significant challenge.

Before partnering with DP Assist, the payroll administrator spent nearly three full days on payroll processing. This left little time for other critical financial and operational responsibilities, causing inefficiencies across the organization.
The DP Assist Solution
The organization was introduced to DP Assist during a roundtable event featuring Dominion Payroll clients. Hearing a firsthand success story from an existing DP Assist user piqued their interest, and within a week, they scheduled a meeting to explore how the program could improve their payroll process.
After a thorough evaluation, they recognized the immediate benefits DP Assist could provide, including:
Reduced payroll processing time
Minimized payroll errors
Regained focus on other critical business operations
By leveraging DP Assist, they found the payroll solution they had been searching for—one that streamlined operations and improved efficiency.
Results and Impact: A More Efficient Payroll Process
Since implementing DP Assist, payroll processing has become significantly more manageable. The payroll team now completes their tasks well before the Wednesday 3 PM deadline, often finalizing payroll as early as Tuesday morning. This newfound efficiency has:
-
Reduced stress associated with last-minute payroll processing
-
Allowed the team to focus on other essential financial tasks
-
Improved overall business operations by eliminating bottlenecks
With a more proactive payroll process, the organization has enhanced its financial management, ensuring timely bill payments and efficient payroll reporting.
