Workzoom by Nortek Solutions is really helpful in HR, recrutiment and payroll.Our payroll is being managed by an external third party. Payroll, benefits, compliance, performance, and recruitment for the organization are all managed in one place which really makes it worth it. it helped during COVID by providing a paperless response.

Cons
ADP
  • Our managers sometimes have trouble approving timecards and PTO requests. They don't always get alert when their team puts requests in. Also, they are often taken to the wrong page when they get a PTO request alert with a link in it. The link often takes them to Wisely instead of the proper page to approve requests.
  • We have two new entities that have upgraded timekeeping applications that are within RUN. I can only track hours based on pay periods, there is no monthly report that shows me hours worked. This is difficult because I need this number for a monthly KPI we track.
  • When I assign training videos in ADP, my employees will receive an email with a link to the training, however, the link never works or takes them to the correct page to watch the assigned videos. I am not sure why.

  • There are numerous choices. After using the system for a while, you become accustomed to it.
  • The Workzoom implementation team is available to assist at all times.

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.

Usability
ADP
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!

Reliability and Availability

I have never had an instance of an outage. It is always available as I have added data while travelling, on weekends, and in after work hours. Retrieving pdf's is also available at any time for employees and benefit participants.

Performance
ADP
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.

Support Rating
ADP
At times it takes a few minutes to reach someone and sometimes the ADP automated voice prompt does not recognize my name when I say it. Also, sometimes I am forwarded to different departments and I have to explain my issue 2 or 3 times. It is hard to know whether it is an ADP Run/payroll processing issue versus an ADP Time and Attendance issue. Over the last year or so that I have called ADP, sometimes I am left on hold for a very long time.

Make sure there's plenty of time between payrolls for the implementation and be sure to test all the manually inputted fields.

The payroll side of RUN is pretty similarly useful as other products, but the HR side is definitely more useful. I appreciate the ability to talk with a rep about specific questions and the fact that there are so many articles, webinars, and podcasts available.

Scalability
ADP
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.
