Overall Satisfaction with RUN Powered by ADP®
I have used the employee handbook wizard and find that it is somewhat limited in the customizable features offered. I do like that the handbook offers electronic accessibility to employees as well as electronic acknowledgement of the document.
We use RUN Powered by ADP® for HR and payroll needs.
Pros
- Provides compliance alerts
- Provides information on new state laws
- Provides information on new federal regulations
Cons
- Features offered to customize company handbooks
- More detailed reports (ie. employee status & count each month)
- Helps with staying on top of compliance regulations
It is beneficial to our employees to be able to access their paystubs at their own leisure through the RUN Powered by ADP® app. Many employees use this feature to track their PTO hours.
Yes — the automation features in RUN Powered by ADP®, especially the automatic tax filing and error flagging, have definitely saved time. Payroll runs are quicker, and the mobile app makes it easy to handle tasks on the go without delays.
The RUN Powered by ADP® mobile app has been a convenient tool for managing payroll and basic HR functions when away from the office.

- Reporting
- we’ve integrated payroll reporting data with our budgeting tools to improve financial forecasting, which wasn’t initially an obvious use case
- In the future, our organization could leverage RUN Powered by ADP® to enhance employee engagement through more robust onboarding and training modules, if those features become available or more customizable.
- We’d also like to explore integrating it with other HR and accounting software for smoother data flow.
- Lastly, advanced analytics and reporting capabilities could help us make more strategic workforce decisions.

- Ease of Use
If I had to do it again, I would include more in-depth testing of the HR features, such as handbook customization and onboarding, during the trial phase. This would help ensure the platform meets both payroll and broader HR needs before making a final decision.
