The RUN Powered by ADP® cloud-based solution is used to pay employees. It also includes HR and hiring tools, as well as benefits, helping small businesses grow and manage their teams.
RUN is perfect for the small company that has just a handful of employees and with not a lot of payroll knowledge. However if you have very complicated PTO policies, multiple company groups or more then one location with a shared FEIN RUN Powered by ADP® still does a great job but you would want to consider a different ADP platform. Also if you want a great workers compensation policy I would suggest trying ADP work comp pay as you go. As this gets calculated with every payroll so no additional reporting anywhere. Another great integrated product is the retirement packages that are offered again ADP handles all of the setup and payments with no additional work on the clients end of things.
SAP HR can be well suited for global companies with operations in multiple countries. The Payroll module needs to be limited to one instance per country, otherwise trying to maintain multiple countries on the same instance is too complicated. I would not recommend using SAP HR and Payroll for smaller companies because the total cost of ownership and the lack of flexibility will make it unfeasible. There are many cloud-based options now a days available that would fit better for this type of scenario.
I would like to see a change in the payroll processing so that when you have to save for later, you don't have to reenter all the information you have already entered.
Make it easier for the employees to track their used vacation and PTO hours.
It is much better than the payroll system I used previously. The integrations that RUN has for on-boarding new hires are very convenient when they work properly. It saves a tremendous amount of time being able to email a link to new employees that allows them to enter much of their own demographic information. Payroll feature alerts me when someone's pay is significantly less or more than usual.
I live to mention this rating due the SAP core HR very user frndly and providing and multi HR module under single umbrella. there are multi reasons for this rating we have
I have been using this system for years and they have actually made it easier and easier. The system is always making great upgrades that don't necessarily require any additional information or training. I love when I log in and see a new feature or button that I get to use to make my life easier!
I don't think I have ever encountered error codes or 404 error screens when trying to access RUN ADP. I run payroll for the company every other week and I have had no issues accessing the website, everything saves and updates when it's needed. Our employees use the app on their phones and they have not had any issues either other than just a basic update of the app occasionally
ADP Run loads a bit slowly at times, once I put in my credentials. However, that said, I think my perception of the time it takes is impacted by our "instant gratification" expectation of being able to get into everything quickly.
I appreciated having that issue finally take care of. it was extremely disheartening to see the issue had not been resolved. I also had my employees looking to me and thinking I was not trying to resolve the issue so it reflected poorly on my character. I do not know if i was because of a miscommunication, but nonetheless I was happy it was taken care of
Our rep was on a zoom with us and one other person from RUN ADP showing us the layout and how to access everything. we mainly use it for payroll and reports so any questions we had they both were insightful and able to help us navigate the site. The training process was a success and we have had any issues since using.
I switched from Quickbooks Online Payroll to RUN Powered by ADP®. RUN Powered by ADP® provided amazing support for set-up and transferring over information. In addition, their support continues to be fantastic after three years. I can reach out to them any time I have a question and know I will receive prompt and helpful support. This was my primary reason for switching! But since using RUN Powered by ADP® I have come to appreciate the automatic tax filing and garnishment payments. They save me a lot of time! My state passed a paid sick leave law this year. RUN Powered by ADP® kept me informed of how those regulations affected my payroll. They offered personal support to adjust to the new policies.
Every summer, we hire three new college interns who have to be entered into the system. They can enter their information themselves, which takes a load off me. The onboarding is quite straightforward, and today's college kids are techy enough to be able to understand it.
The costs add up with all the services such as running payroll, adding timekeeping, running background checks, and mailing w-2's.
We save money on background checks because the first two are free.
We lower risk of employee time, penalties, and lawsuits by allowing RUN Powered by ADP® to handle so much of the payroll such as calculations and tax reporting.
SAP HR is suited for large companies with a sufficient budget. Small budgets will not be able to cover the expensive licensing, technical personnel and consultants required of an SAP installation.
In regards to the total cost of ownership, my ROI experience has been that by replacing SAP HR modules with cloud solutions we have been able to reduce the cost up to 60% while modernizing our systems and improving the employee experience.
I would encourage decision makers to look for cloud-based alternatives with a robust system integration, before believing that supporting every area of HR with a single SAP installation is a good long-term strategy. Having SAP HR as the core integrated to best-in-class cloud-based systems is a very valid and effective system strategy.
