Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now

It is used by HR for HCM and Payroll to process payroll.
  • User-friendly.
  • Reporting.
  • Technical glitches often.
  • Quality of service for variety of issues.
  • Positive is that I'm able to pull data quickly and analyze information. I can create custom fields and easily pull data that I need on a constant basis.
  • Negative is the technical glitches. It slows me down and when I call in for help, I'm often given incorrect information.
  • Aetna Carrier Feeds
  • Sun Life Carrier Feeds
The team at ADP has been doing well with our benefit carrier feeds.
The Benefits enrollment wizard itself is generally user-friendly, however, the setup from the admin side could use some work. The contingencies setup are limited, how you can't order the plan within the planned grouping, and how the plans under Plan Setup aren't alphabetized so you're constantly having to search through a long list whenever you go back to it. Also, when you make a change to a plan (i.e., terminate the plan) it takes a long while for the main Plan Setup page to update to that information, so it's confusing when trying to do a lot of work on the plans.

The reporting is nice, however when you have custom plans, and ADP changes a header or title of something, your report gets messed up. It seems like the dev. team spends a lot of time re-wording headers and categories, and not as much time implementing actual helpful things.

The effective dating could be a little better, also. For example, it would be nice to be able to see a history of reporting structure.
