Overall Satisfaction with RUN Powered by ADP®

I’ve used RUN Powered by ADP's® job posting and applicant board to send emails/texts, integrated with ~14 job boards. The automatically created Career Plug page enhances professionalism and credibility for my young business. I also plan to use the job performance report. RUN Powered by ADP® continually improves, adding features that expand HR capabilities and supports growth.
We use RUN Powered by ADP® to streamline payroll, timekeeping, and compliance. It manages new hire data, direct deposits, checks, job postings, and tax forms (W‑2s, 1099s). This solves accuracy, efficiency, and compliance challenges while supporting HR, onboarding, timekeeping, and payroll operations across our organization. There is also a great feature that allows us to track employees by location.

  • Timekeeping
  • Job Posting
  • Compliance
  • Responsive Tech Support
  • Engages with their clients frequently
  • In-depth training

Cons

  • Proactively offer their great add-on services
  • Assess clients quarterly and offer closely matched relevant services
  • Partner with business formation companies to promote your services
  • Time savings: Automated payroll and tax filing reduced manual processing by 40%, freeing staff for growth initiatives
  • Cost efficiency: Lowered compliance errors and penalties, saving an estimated $5,000 annually
  • Scalability: Supported onboarding across multiple states, enabling expansion without adding HR headcount
  • Accuracy & trust: Improved employee satisfaction with timely pay and reliable W‑2/1099 delivery
Employees benefit from self-service by accessing and printing paystubs anytime, reducing HR inquiries. They enter and update their own information during onboarding, and anytime after, which is especially helpful for saving HR time and minimizing errors. This frees our small HR team to focus on complex tasks, while employees enjoy convenient, accurate, and easily available payroll and HR data.
Yes, RUN Powered by ADP® has saved us significant time. Automatic tax deduction and filing eliminate manual calculations, while the payroll interface streamlines processing. Employees onboard and update their own information, reducing HR workload and errors. The mobile app and error flagging further improve efficiency, freeing our team to focus on growth.
Employees frequently use the mobile app, and I rely on it to check timecards and verify employee information. Having access on the go is convenient and saves time, eliminating the need to be tied to a desktop for payroll and HR tasks. There’s also the added benefit of having multiple options available, many of which I plan to utilize over time.
RUN Powered by ADP® is stronger than QuickBooks Online for payroll and HR because it offers advanced HR tools (job postings, compliance support, employee handbooks), friendly, extended hours live support, and integration with numerous platforms. QuickBooks focuses mainly on payroll/accounting, while ADP provides broader HR capabilities, scalability, and compliance expertise along with extensive training.

RUN Powered by ADP® is well suited for managing payroll, timekeeping, onboarding new hires, storing addresses and direct deposit details, issuing checks, posting jobs, and handling W‑2s/1099s. It ensures accuracy and compliance. It’s less appropriate for advanced HR analytics or complex workforce planning beyond basic payroll and employee data management. This may also be based upon my limited knowledge/training on their more advanced features. Open to suggestions.
