How RUN Powered by ADP® Differs From Its Competitors

Employee Self-Service

Most of our employees use the Employee Access portal. That saves me a lot of time compared to those employees who do not use the portal and need a lot of service such as changing their contact information, changing direct deposits, and printing paystubs.

Time Saving Features

The automatic error flagging is a good reminder of people who have substantially excess or reduced hours. If an employee misses two punches, it could look like they have excess hours, such as working through the evening and night until the next punch in the morning or afternoon. Error flagging …

I have used their employee handbook wizard before. If you are a new business or do not have an employee handbook this is the way to go. It recommends the legal wording and you can select to include it. I am also using Career plug which is a hiring tool that is your vendor. I am not sure if that is …

Employee Self-Service

RUN ADP Mobile App

Our employees use the app for timekeeping and to look up their pay records. It is pretty good. I have tried the app before in the past as administrator and at the time I didn't like it. Now it may be better. I think the little clock symbol is a hard way to track time.

Time Saving Features

Having them produce my quarterlies reports and pay all my payroll taxes on my behalf saves me lots of time. I don't even know how to do these things on my own. The employees seem to get used to the timekeeping, so that saves me time. I also like how our account number shows on the bottom of the …

Benefits are great for me because I do not need to be responsible for paper checks and all of the back end work that goes along with that responsibility. It also helps me that I do not have to track their tax forms which is cumbersome come the beginning of the year. It is great for the employees …

Employee Self-Service

This has been a wonderful capability that has been added to our company. Before RUN Powered by ADP I spent a lot of time copying and scanning pay stubs on demand for employees. When W2's copies were needed again I was digging through files looking for them. The portal allows employees instant …

Every single employee has the Employee Access Portal and/or the App - they love it and I love it. The welcome e-mail for new employees helps them to set it up and have access to see their pay and their 401k. The self-service capability is really great. We used ADP well before this option was …
