  • ADP's industry reputation as well as the duration ADP has been in business allows the decision-makers to feel confident in tax filings, resource availability, and virtual classroom training of the product.
  • The new WFN platform is very much improved from previous versions and has many ways to get to where you're going in the platform without having to remember just one way.
  • ADP offers SmartCompliance with WFN as an add-on that provide a resource document for companies in a multi-state environment.
  • The implementation process was very broken and had much room for improvement
  • The Service Center Support is very hit and miss, mostly miss. For example, I can be on the phone with support for an urgent issue with an inexperienced employee that can take well over an hour, or I could have a lucky day and a very experienced employee will answer my call and walk me through the issue in 5-10 minutes.
  • Service Connect in theory is a great idea to log your cases and see the follow up and updates but it is poorly managed. I will start a case with one employee, sometimes it will transfer to another employee, then there will be radio silence. I have to call in to ask for an update and that will create a new case. So very frustrating.
  • ADP's Account Management/Sales Team should be more cohesive and accountable to the client where there are issues in the implementation phase and at least a few months outside of the handoff process.

  • Payroll
  • Reporting
  • PTO accrual
  • Customer service (Because the product offering is so vast it's extremely difficult to find the right subject matter expert who can actually answer your questions.)
  • Dependent and beneficiary options are limited (should include more than just spouse & child).
  • Would be nice if the onboarding allowed for the digital signature of documents (such as an employee handbook).

  • Integration between Payroll, time & attendance and benefits
  • All in one recruitment module, including background & drug screenings with the ability to hire them directly from their application and convert them into an employee
  • Open enrollment & new hire benefit selections are so easy and user-friendly to make open enrollment a breeze
  • I would like to see their Organizational chart of our employees in the future be broken down to include T&A supervisors, not just managers.
  • They also allow an employee to see three years of Holiday dates but only allow the practitioner to edit one year at a time, so the other two years could be wrong if the holiday falls over a weekend during one of the years.

  • Easy to navigate from a user standpoint.
  • All-in-one package for essential HR functions.
  • Simple process to update and access information.
  • Access levels and approvals restrict the necessary parts of the platform.
  • Great support, never crashes either.
  • The interface is kind of clunky and old-school looking.
  • I feel like the category labels could be more clear about what they actually are/do.
  • A page listing out the approval process to gain access to certain info would be nice, that way people know who to reach out to.

  • 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).
