I use Run for all company Payroll and tax needs. Before RUN, the biggest problem we faced was figuring out and paying the company's taxes.
  • Job costing
They are efficient when it comes to Payroll and tax services but I have to manually job cost hours into Quickbooks.

  • Gives employees a chance to save for the future.
None.
They are able to modify their taxes and get on board by themselves, saving me time to complete my other daily tasks.
I was able to run Payroll even when I was home sick.
ADP Run has a much more efficient and smooth Payroll processing system that provides a better price and personal help when needed.

Conner Construction uses Run to process payroll and keep employment records up to date. The office manager is the only one who uses the admin side of Run. When new employees are hired, they are able to onboard by themselves saving time for the office manager to complete their other daily tasks. Having taxes taken care of for the business is a huge help and we know everything is being filed right, eliminating the worry and stress of potential penalties and fees from the government for minor errors.

Run has made the payroll aspects of our business efficient and quick. Hours are saved every week from the benefits of using ADP. I would not ever switch back to intuit quickbooks payroll services.

Intuit Quickbooks Payroll
Intuit had minimal services that were less cost effective than ADP, horrible customer service if you could actually get a hold of them, and office had to file all tax liabilities
  • Cloud Solutions
  • Ease of Use
ADP run allows me to access payroll related report as well as run payroll anywhere.
I would have gone through ADP from the beginning
  • Implemented in-house
Change management was minimal
With the right product for a company, the company can save time and money
  • Having employee payroll info on two platforms for that year
Easy to switch to ADP Run
  • No Training
Yes/ With customer support always available, I was able to figure out ADP run quickly and efficiently
I feel that the only thing that would be extremely beneficial for a lot of companies would be the ability to job cost hours in Run and have it integrated with bookkeeping software

  • This has freed up employees to handle other area as payroll is easy with ADP

We use RUN Powered by ADP® for our W2 employees. RUN Powered by ADP® makes logging hours for employees and running payroll easy. Employees can log in and out and admins can edit time as necessary.
  • Timekeeping
  • Direct deposit
  • Recording accrual of PTO and sick time
  • The ability to mark that PTO an sick time will not be paid out upon separation of employment.
RUN Powered by ADP® is easy to use for both the employer and the employee. Time tracking is key with remote work.

  • RUN Powered by ADP® makes it easy to handle payroll, taxes, and timekeeping.
I have helped our first employee fill out the paperwork. Terminating an employee was easy. Setting up a 1099 employee was easy
Employee has been able to log hours and view expected pay.

We chose RUN because our contact at Bank of America suggested it as our best option and we got a discount due to the partnership between Bank of America and ADP
