Views of ADP Workforce Now from a new user
Our organization uses Workforce Now for HR, Benefits and Payroll processing. The HR and Benefits capacities are recent additions as we are streamlining processes and looking for accuracy and efficiency. The ability to manage the benefits (enrollment and deductions) through WFN have eliminated human error and saved time in the long run. Next, we will convert the HSA employee and employer contributions to the benefit module. Having employees in many states and overseas demands a provider that can handle the complex taxation. ADP representatives have been helpful and knowledgeable in supporting our employee base.

ADP great place for Payroll services.
We use ADP for employee-sensitive data storage like employee payslips, income proofs declaration, income tax calculations, etc. ADP also provides HR services and payroll services, which play a vital roll in our organization.

Best software if your finding tax filing very hard
It is user-friendly, easy to navigate, access, and use. Makes employees self-dependent by providing access to our payslips and makes tax filing much easier and quicker. There are also a number of features and views that are not utilized by our company to the maximum extent possible so the full use of the software is not made. When something goes wrong it does not throw up any error message which does not help us understand what went wrong.

ADP does a great job overall
I currently am using ADP Workforce Now for the payroll processing and taxes for each of the states that we are registered in. The problem that arises at times is that the time to reach a representative can be frustrating at times.

ADP has been the worst Payroll Company I have used to date. I have used Paychex Flex as well as Citibank Payroll, never once have I been put in the positions I have been put in with ADP. The customer service is terrible and does not offer resolutions. It's "their way or no way." The lack of professionalism and education when it comes to finances, taxes, and deductions is at an all time low. The staff of ADP needs proper education in tasks that are supposed to be their number one service. To say that I am displeased with ADP is an understatement. I will be shopping for a new payroll company immediately.

Efficient and Scalable Employee Relations System
The Human Resources department currently used ADP Workforce Now to manage payroll and all employee relations across our whole company.
The ADP Workforce Now team could use a better customer service experience. Our current customer representative is not the best when providing efficient solutions in a timely manner for our company.

We were exiting a PEO with TriNet due to high costs and poor service so we wanted to bring payroll and benefits in house for cost savings and more control over our own data. I was hoping to have similar implementation experiences as at previous employers but that wasn't the case here at my current job. We were looking for a product that would allow us to build out our employee experience with payroll and benefits enrollment as well as handle our payroll and tax filings in a multi-state environment. The level of service I previously received from ADP was a selling point as well as having many business contacts at ADP. Our team was familiar with ADP but were open to new software platforms that could rival that of ADP.

We use ADP Workforce Now for payroll, employee onboarding, and benefits administration. We have several thousand per diem employees and a couple of hundred corporate employees. The needs of these employee populations are very different but ADP allows us to pay them all seamlessly in a single system. Payroll is their bread and butter. For ease of keeping to a single system, we decided to use the onboarding and benefits portals for our corporate team. At the time, it was the right decision but the setup took us one whole year to go live.

Excellent product
We use ADP WorkforceNow for onboarding, processing payroll, compensation management, and performance management. We have had payroll and time-off issues, and moving to our current setup has been a game-changer. Employees are happy with the ability to enter and change their own personal information and know that their payroll and time-off balances are accurate and updated timely.

ADP Workforce Now
We use ADP Workforce Now for our payroll, human resources, ACA reporting, and recruiting. We like the fact we do not have to worry about all payroll aspects, including quarterly taxes. One of the criticisms I have and others have is the lack of communication when there are system outages and having to wait on hold for an hour before reaching a CSR. (I have used ADP Workforce Now for over 22 years in other positions at other companies). Most of us only call in when we have an issue that needs to be dealt with immediately. I think the updates are coming too frequently, and it is making it difficult for practitioners to keep up. Some aspects of the recruiting module need to be addressed (we have tried many times to get help with the approval process and offer letter notification without success. I also believe that "on-boarding" should be part of the module, not an "add-on." The above criticisms are minor compared to having to use an "in-house" program. Overall I do recommend ADP Workforce Now for payroll and HR functions.

We love ADP Workforce Now
I use ADP Workforce Now to process payroll on a weekly basis. During the pandemic, ADP Workforce Now was so helpful in creating reports and Time off policies to keep us in compliance. We also use the platform as a way to communicate and spotlight things to our employees. The staff has been super helpful, from the purchasing to setup to continued support.

ADP Workforce Now - Can't live without it!
We use ADP Workforce Now to process payroll, onboarding, and performance reviews. We have set up self-service for the staff so they can enter tax withholding and direct deposit changes and do open enrollment through ADP Workforce Now.

I am a practitioner in ADP Workforce Now and handle all new hire setups, benefit enrollments, payroll, T&A, and most other things outside of performance for employees. I love how integrated ADP Workforce Now combines each module for information to be in one place. We also use their document cloud, so instead of using our company's internal storage, everything is available at your fingertips by the employee.

ADP Workforce now simplifies on-boarding
Entering timesheets (time cards), tracking/requesting time off, annual insurance renewal selections, employee policy manual upload and acceptance. Keeps everyone accountable for entering their own time. Easier insurance renewal for all personnel - shows current selections so you don't have to remember and makes selections easier and quicker.
The best thing about ADP Workforce Now is its payroll management system. This HCM system has many good things to talk about, like time, attendance, and employee benefits management features that make it more accurate and perfect for any HR team in any small and big corporation. You can process employee payroll with ADP Workforce Now in a few steps.

A Great All-In-One HR Tool
ADP is one of our centralized HRISs that all employees use. This serves as our main data hub for employee information as well as an employee portal for people to access their tax documents, request time off, look at their paystubs, etc. Every employee has their own profile, and our company currently sits at around 1,200 employees. Finally, our HR teams use the tool for some more analytics, DEI metrics, and scheduling.

Great product!!!! Tons of functionality
We use WFN for payroll, HR, benefits, and PTO, it's used by HR & Payroll, and our general managers. We use it to track PTO for multiple policies/classes of employees. It's used for when our customers need to buy out contracts, we use the payroll to determine time left on the contract and any other special requirements.

ADP kept track of our time and PTO. It made payroll easier and requesting time off simple. The staff was able to use it to clock in and/or out within a radius. We were able to track our vacation and sick time with the click of a button. It made tracking time simple.

I have worked with ADP Workforcenow since 2015. ADP's evolution has been outstanding and it has provided different sources to all ADP users.
The Benefit Portal, Talent portal and the Cloud have really assisted all HR Professionals in time-saving. Our company uses ADP across the whole organization and within the last years we have implemented both the Benefit Portal and Cloud.
