(1-25 of 311)Professional Service
- Payroll Time and Attendance
- Paystub Availability
- Customer support
ADP Workforce Now is well suited for payroll and HRIS use.
- Easy to use user interface
- Payroll
- Benefits Administration
Good- but still a few issues
- Paying employees on time
- Figuring taxes and deductions
- Easy to access information on employee's pay.
Not well suited - Having personal customer reps that are so overwhelmed that they can't address any issues until 24 hours have gone by. The whole idea of a personal rep for our company is to have them address issues immediately. We have now find it's actually better to wait forever on hold to get a random customer agent, then wait a whole day to have an immediate need fixed.

- ADP Workforce Now is extremely user friendly!
- Onboarding is easier with the new hire using online features instead of filling out mountains of paperwork!
- ADP Workforce Now's self service options are constantly being added!
Buyer Beware - ADP Workforce Now will not be available when you need them.
- ADP Workforce Now only bills clients for how many employees are paid in a cycle rather than billing for every "active" employee. In my research, they were the only major US payroll company with this billing option. Since our company goes from paying 20 people one cycle to 150 people the next, this is a very important cost control measure for our company.
