How RUN Powered by ADP® Differs From Its Competitors

Employee Self-Service

The employees are responsible for keeping their information, taxes, address, etc. up to date and it makes it so much easier for them to do it from their own sign-on instead of funneling to me to have to take the time to make these simple corrections/changes.

  • The payroll tax service eliminates the exposure penalties if we do them and make a mistake.
  • Do not have to reconcile the Payroll Bank Account for the the checks issued to employees. We just need to reconcile the transaction from ADP for tax and net check amounts.
  • The history of employees is kept on the ADP portal, and we do not have to manage to keep that updated.
  • Employees can access their records, saving us time not having to look up things for them.

  • We have saved almost $2,000 so far this year already on payroll admin compared to our previous vendor.
  • I used to spend 2+ hours doing payroll every two weeks; now it's 30 minutes, tops.
  • Collecting tax info is a 5-10 minute process once a quarter. It used to be longer with a different vendor.

  • The job posting feature in Career Plug has helped us to save over $3,000 annually. Before we utilized this feature, we were only using Indeed to post jobs and recruit candidates. This limited our visibility and put a lot of pressure on the hiring managers as we had to "pay per resume" if we did not decline candidates within a specific timeframe. Now we have more visibility, less hiring costs, more time to review resumes, and better candidate pools by using the Career Plug feature provided by RUN.
  • In the past year we have opened two new entities within ADP. The team that helps to set up new accounts has been extremely timely and helpful. This has created a seamless process. It is very beneficial that I can access all four entities under one account within RUN.
  • I love that I can add users within RUN and give them different access depending on what I need them to do in the platform. It is great that we can add our Accountant to help with our GL and that I can add managers to have visibility on certain things.
