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 …

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 We do have plans to utilize the Handbook Wizard in the next year as ours is woefully outdated.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.

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.
