  • My experience with ADP is just over a year. In that time I have worked extensively with with our HR team to bring efficiency and accuracy to our departments. We have worked to use the HR fields for improved reporting and tracking. We have added almost all of the benefits into that module to allow for future time savings during open enrollment. In the next year, we will begin to see our efforts pay off in improved accuracy and time savings from manual entries. As we both become more knowledgeable and comfortable with the capabilities in ADP, we look forward to a larger impact.
  • It's now been 5 years working in the ADP WFN environment. We have rolled out Self Service, which includes having employees update their own personal information and bank information. This has been a great efficiency step for us. We also appreciate the constant upgrades to reporting, screen design, and service access. The ability to create a case online for something non-urgent is amazing. I look forward to the Payroll Chat feature rolling out soon. The perfect example of listening to users when creating solutions and upgrades.

  • It has provided semi-balanced ROI in the company and saved time for reports creation and benefit management
  • Although while issuing offcycle checks, it creates issues with upcoming payroll calculations
  • Taxes should be more accurately withheld as expected as ADP is reactive in addressing tax related issues

  • Negative: Required the engagement of an outside consultant due to the lack of support we had during the implementation of the product and the turnover we experienced from the team we worked with at ADP.
  • Negative: Tracking down service requests and where each case stands has been unbelievably frustrating. I'll receive emails from ADP with Case updates which include the case number and then I will look for the case number in Service Connect and it's not there. I click off any filters and ensure that both OPEN and CLOSED cases are displayed and somehow they aren't there. That requires another dreaded call to ADP's support line.
  • It's taken 6-8 months post implementation to finally start seeing things work out. Granted, we exited a PEO and moved payroll and benefits in house with 25+ states which caused so many issues throughout these months. Perhaps that's the way it goes with such a complex implementation but we have just over 100 employees and the amount of time and effort put into this project has been very disappointing.
  • Positive: The new version of WFN is very slick and allows you to navigate quickly. The reporting engine is very much improved from the days at previous employers. I like the fact that things are better organized in ADP now and it's much more intuitive. The only negative is making sure the "back-end" has everything in sync with what you're seeing on the front-end user interface.
