Overall Satisfaction with ADP Workforce Now

We are using [ADP Workforce Now] across our whole organization. We are using it for timekeeping, payroll, and HR. [In my experience] none of which are working any better than our last system.

Pros

  • It comes on every morning
  • I can access the files from hand held devices when I'm not in the office

Cons

  • Getting quick answers to urgent problems
  • My overtime programming has been wrong all year and has cost us thousands of dollars because no one is fixing it
  • Getting conflicting training to handle specific entry issues (1099 vs W2 ees), manual checks, correcting tax withholding
  • I am so unhappy with this program that I can't wait for the end of the year because we might be able to get rid of it
  • It is only 9/23, I have already worked more hours than I will be paid for this year because I am salaried. Literally, every hour that I am here is unpaid for me because of [ADP Workforce Now] and how long it takes to process a "good" payroll. I say good because [I feel] it's not "good" it's acceptable. We're overpaying people EVERY payroll due to the programming.
  • [In my opinion] the billing system is so convoluted it's going to take years to figure out how much it actually costs to do payroll.
  • I [feel like I'm] gearing up for a heart attack and when it happens, I will be able to point directly at our transition to [ADP Workforce Now].
Is there anything less than 0?
  • Well, I was hoping to bring my history from NCR, but all they were able to grab was current addresses and phone numbers. I don't have prior addresses or prior pay rates and that's what I really need.
  • [The] system of pulling the prior history from my former system is so confusing, I haven't been able to actually get it blended with [ADP Workforce Now].
  • I still don't have access to my previous EZ Labor Manager program time so I'm paying for that as well as [ADP Workforce Now] and my previous payroll company so I have access to our ee histories.
It has not been achieved and I don't know how or when it can be.

I have dealt with some lovely, helpful people trying to get this monster to work. However, as you are asking for overall support [I feel] I'll have to wait until I actually get some.
[In my experience] our training was non-existent, nothing on-site. No real process checklist. None of the programming was done in advance. The first time I spoke with anyone about the programming was the day we were supposed to process our first payroll. It took us 2 more whole days working many hours into the night. We were actually counting down to the last possible minute trying to get the pay correct for that first payroll.

    I find that very hard to believe. It's been 7 days and nothing from ADP. Typical.
