How RUN Powered by ADP® Differs From Its Competitors

HR Capabilities

We used the ADP employee handbook wizard and it help us prepared and completed our employee handbook really quickly and therefore saved $$ on otherwise-would-be attorney fees and hours of time of our own. The employee handbook wizard made things really easy, as we only need to enter a few company …

Employee Self-Service

This feature is beneficial, but I found the content often not loaded up correctly so having bugs frequently. We offered the employee access portal to all employees but they frequently mentioned having issues and asking for sending certain files to them. Not sure if they lack the tech savvy to find …

RUN ADP Mobile App

We haven't started using the mobile app because there are too many apps available these days and also want to limit the potential risk of wrongful access by non-appropriate persons. But having the app available is definitely valuable and provide additional, or alternative, way to monitor and …

Integration with Zip Recruiter is nice, but one posting at a time for a growing business is disappointing. We have used this feature multiple times but only one hire resulted for a handful of positions.

HR Capabilities

Although ADP payroll processing is the best in my opinion, the HR capabilities have not been worth the additional cost for us and we rarely use these features. The handbook wizard would be great for a new company putting together their very first handbook, but for us, it was just easier to update …

Employees can view and print their own pay stubs if needed for bank/loan information. They can keep track of their weekly earnings as most of our employees are on a tight budget.

We have not taken advantage of many of the HR features offered by RUN Powered by ADP. We do have plans to utilize the Handbook Wizard in the next year as ours is woefully outdated. We have used the HR HelpDesk quite a bit and have been very pleased with the ease of use, the knowledge base, and the …

The Employee Access portal offered by RUN by ADP is essential to our business. Being a small firm, the Office Manager is a part-time position. When employees are conducting personal business such as making a large purchase, they need access to their payroll information. The Employee Access portal …

RUN ADP Mobile App

It makes it great when I get a text that someone forgot to clock in or out, I can fix it right away rather than having to wait till I'm back in my office in front of a computer. I'm terrible that if I don't do something right away I'll forget it, and this way I can do it and be done.

Integration with ZipRecruiter, which enabled me as a relatively new employee 6 months ago to apply and eventually be hired in the role that I am in now. Had ZipRecruiter not been integrated, I could easily see how my application could have been missed by the organization.

Employees are able to resolve and handle their own issues and updates. Thankfully we do not need to process all the changes, they can be processed by the individual user. That saves time, money, and frustration on trying to get employee files updated.

I've used ZipRecruiter. It was a bit challenging to customize for our needs, but a good option to have. ZipRecruiter allows one free ad at a time, which is very helpful. We got a significant amount of resumes. Have also used the Background Check service, which is nice because it's free for a basic …

This is probably the best part of RUN Powered by ADP®. I get fewer phone calls and emails with requests for information now that the staff can self-service. Very grateful for this feature. It would be great if a link to a tutorial was available on the site where employees are accessing their data.

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.

Email support can be slow; it can take a few days to hear a response. Support is knowledgeable.
Wait times when you call in can get long, but if you call in first thing in the morning, wait times are so much shorter than in the afternoon.

I did not have to utilize the support team through RUN yet. So I have yet to experience the support team from ADP.
The sales process had already happened before I had signed on and I was not a decision maker when it come to this. HR here has not had to contact the support team.

Almost everything is straight forward, and honestly would not need to contact customer service for any general inquiries, unless there is any specific question. Our company changed holidays or pay rates, and it was simple enough to do in ADP without much confusion to employees, so the service is very accommodating.

Beginning with ADP and for questions throughout use, I've had nothing but positive experiences. Even if a support person doesn't have the answer, they find a person who does and it gets resolved in a timely manner.
