ADP [Workforce Now] Payroll/HR Review
- Payroll
- Reporting
- Consolidate tax functions
- [An improvement would be] uniform instructions from customer service.
- [Improving the] phone system by allowing customers to reach ADP consultants directly, instead of always receiving voicemail and waiting for return calls especially during implementations.
- [It would be helpful if a] grace period [was] added for submitting payroll (30 minutes past the deadline would help a lot).

Lacks Bells and Whistles But Gets the Job Done
- Downloading your tax documents.
- Requesting time off and notifying you of your manager's approval.
- Checking your pay stubs.
- While secure, the platform was generally hard to access and constantly required password changes with increasingly stricter requirements.
- It did not have a mobile app at the time.
- Was used by HR for company news but the content formatting seemed limited and accessibility was not the greatest.
As an employee using this product, I love it!
- Time-off.
- Breakdown of pay by category (tax, 401k, take home).
- Benefits elections are very easy.
- Convenient and easy access to tax documents for filing season.
- When taking time off, I wish the app would show a calendar view of days to better distinguish week/weekend days.
ADP - 1 year experience

How I Use ADP Workforce Now
- The Benefits Services Team has provided seamless integration between our employees and their benefits selections upon hire, as well as annual enrollment for all employees. It has saved me untold hours in not only communicating with all of my benefit partners but also in invoice reconciliation and life event changes.
- The recruitment and job requisition has been an absolute game-changer for our company. We launched a career center on our website that integrates from the platform, and allows us to attract talent at a much higher level. It also integrates with the top job posting sites for maximum exposure. All communications with candidates are tracked and saved on the system, and I love that the templates are customizable.
- ADP is excellent at payroll processing. This seems basic, however, there is so much flexibility built into their system. We have had to process one-time checks, make corrections to previous checks, revise end-of-year W2's and the payroll team is always there to help and guide us through the solutions.
- ADP Workforce Now is continually updating and improving modules, so that is appreciated. Have had an occasional instance when something is not working in the recruitment or performance management module, and when reported they do acknowledge an issue has been reported. Perhaps they can send a message to all clients when a known problem is reported so we do not spin our wheels trying to figure out why something doesn't work.
- Have had some problems with the ADP Comprehensive Learning system - glitches such as registrations not recording properly or employees with assigned courses not being able to access the training.
Glad we made the switch to ADP
- Reports and analytics.
- Performance Management.
- Time record approvals.
- Customer service.
Trust me, This is the software you need!
- It organizes your financial work life very well.
- It houses a centralized place for your paychecks and your W2s - comes in handy during tax season or buying a house.
- It houses numerous LMS trainings that we are able to complete inside the software and allows us to track our employee goals for the quarter or year.
- I honestly cannot think of any. It does precisely what I need it to do - very well.
