Get the job done!
- US Payroll
- ADP Reporting
- Performance Module
- Analytics Dashboard
- It would be helpful to have the chat feature in the reporting section.
- It would be nice to see who made changes in the system. For example, making changes to employee profile, payroll and benefits section. As we have multiple users it would be nice to track that especially if there were mistakes made.
- We use enhance time and when we have rehires we always have to re-enter their time and position data. Most of our hires start on Monday so we enter their data on the Friday before their start date. For rehires we have to re-enter their data again on Monday for the Time Position Info section.

June 01, 2023
We love ADP WorkForce Now.
- Time and Attendance.

- Reporting
- Adjustable payroll schedule or easier to add payroll.
- Wage adjustments are made at the beginning of the pay period to be paid correctly.
- Product code allocation could be improved so that timebank does not need to be used.
June 01, 2023
ADP Overall Positive.
- The reports are detailed, and you can drill down into information.
- They let you create new payroll codes for anything.
- They get back to you quickly when you have questions.
- I know there is a way, but I have been unable to save my data sheet for payroll as the one it defaults to.
- Comparison reports for timeframes on the same report, I run two, but it is cumbersome.
June 01, 2023
ADP- It's what works
- Reliable system
- Ease of payroll processing
- Amazing resources for open enrollment
- Customer service can be lacking
- Support system over email for questions can be difficult
May 31, 2023
WFN is Outstanding to use.
- Their payroll module is amazing.
- My current favorite is the onboarding module. It helps so much with documents for new hires and their basic payroll onboarding like direct deposit.
- DocuCloud is another of my favorites because you have all documents in one place and don't have to go finding in different folders. You go straight to the employee and click on their doc file.
- Under the things to do, there needs to be an easier and quicker way to click on all messages or notifications to mark them read.
- On the holiday list, the system should allow for a change in the actual individual holiday when the holidays fluctuate, such as the 4th of July when it falls on Sat without messing with the prior years that have already passed. Or in the 2024 day after Thanksgiving.
- On the talent side, the system always defaults to the screen of the person who used it last.
- In payroll, the new Quickcalc can use some help.
May 31, 2023
ADP is Mediocre.
- Friendly Customer Service.
- The new home page is much easier to use and navigate compared to the classic view.
- Quick to escalate problems with the software to tech support.
- Unable to create the reports needed.
- Has taken weeks to get someone to help me remap our GL.
- Constantly being told no and or being transferred around to be told someone else handles it.
- Not all associates know enough about the software to help with simple problems.
- Training provided is not sufficient to complete tasks, too little detail.
May 31, 2023
ADP - You are valued.
- Wizards for hiring/Terminating.
- Lets you know if there is an error when processing payroll (missing punches etc.).
- Keeps track of all the changes made through the payroll period and has a report for such.
- When a garnishment has hit the 0.00 owed, it should delete the code from the deduction area automatically. Do not leave it sitting on the front page.
- Same with other deduction codes that have a goal limit set to them.
May 31, 2023
New to ADP.
- Payroll processing.
- Taxes.
- HR onboarding.
- There is so much information and possibilities that it can be very overwhelming, and it can sometimes be difficult to get a response to questions.
