Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now
We are a global company and all US employees use ADP Workforce Now. Among other things, we use it to track time for hourly EEs and PTO for hourly and salary EEs. Unfortunately, there is a glitch in the PTO plans that started removing and adding PTO time for both hourly and salary EEs without any notification to users so EEs found the problem and it's a mess that HR is working to clean up with the help of ADP. It's not helpful if things like this happen. Although that's not often, it is often enough to be a thing and administratively it's a huge headache.
Pros
- Building custom reports.
- Knowledgeable service reps.
- Timekeeping capabilities with bio and swipe clocks.
Cons
- PTO plans are not very clear during setup and the glitch I mentioned earlier in this review.
- Standard reports don't allow filtering for only active employees.
- Creating my own reports is not user-friendly. A lot of 'tech-speak' but it doesn't look like quality control or testing really spends a lot of time using products to be sure users at all levels can utilize everything easily.
- searching for answers in The Bridge is not always easy and a lot of older issues don't have new solutions so it's not clear whether old inquiries and problems have been changed/corrected.
- The administrative hours spent correcting PTO plan issues this year and other glitches in previous years has been taxing on our department. Hopefully this will change soon but not sure.
- TimeBank
- Automated 401K file feed
TimeBank is a nightmare but has been used to calculate some hourly employees' pay with more complicated calculation requirements.
I did not select ADP WFN but I've used Netchex and neither are perfect and both have struggles in different areas. Both also push out 'enhancements' that don't really address true problems that actual users have and are more 'showy' but less substantial for people who are just looking for accuracy and easier implementation and processing, etc.
