Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now
Our company utilizes Workforce Now for HR, Benefits, Payroll, and Time and Attendance. It is used across the entire organization. The biggest issue it addresses is time and attendance currently. We have implemented online time card usage in lieu of paper time sheets. This procedure has been used for 2 years by 70% of the staff and is now being implemented for usage by 100% of the staff.
- I love the tracking feature for PTO. With my previous company this was an invaluable tool that saved staff and managers a lot of time and calculations for vacation, sick, and personal hours. Using time and attendance with online time cards is another great feature and I'm surprised not every company uses it.
- In my previous position as an HR Administrator, I utilized all three modules. I loved the HR/B module with the self-service feature. As long as staff entered info correctly it was a great tool.
- Being able to print pay stubs and W2s online is another feature we love. Going paperless is important.
- In my previous position I utilized the company portal almost daily. It was a great way to get communications out to management and staff, not to mention uploading forms (such as direct deposit, enrollment forms, annual 401k communications, etc.).
- Definitely customer service. Not every person you connect with has the adequate knowledge to help with issues.
- Reporting module could be more user friendly.
- Time management has definitely improved.
- Greater accuracy has been established in time keeping and payroll in general
ADP Workforce Now is a much more comprehensive product. The flow between modules saves time and has been user friendly.

- Product Features
- Product Usability
Usability was key since we have so many different people using the product.
I don't think I would change anything.
ADP Workforce Implementation
- Vendor implemented
Yes - Initial meetings; data review; testing; uploading data; more testing; on initial payroll, team worked with us.
Change management was a small part of the implementation and was well-handled - The transition when converting from one payroll product to another is always tense.
The key in this process was good communication and making sure our data was good
to go when the implementation was instituted.

Quick Resolution Knowledgeable team Kept well informed | Poor followup Problems left unsolved |
Yes - It was years ago but it was resolved, however, it took a few days.
I was working for Total Practice Mangement and we were having serious issues with the payroll uploading. I had a support person who was working from home (in Georgia) who actually worked beyond their regular shift to work out the problem, get my payroll uploaded, and my staff paid on time.
