We use RUN Powered by ADP® to manage payroll, tax filings, and basic HR tasks for our small business.

RUN Powered by ADP® also manages federal and state tax withholding and filings, reducing compliance risk and ensuring deadlines are met without manual tracking.

  • Payroll runs are consistent, timely, and error‑free, even when handling multiple pay rates, deductions, or changes. Direct deposits process smoothly and predictably.
  • RUN Powered by ADP® manages federal, state, and local tax withholding, filings, and payments without requiring manual oversight. This significantly reduces compliance risk and administrative workload.
  • Common actions—running payroll, adding new employees, updating pay rates—are straightforward and guided, which helps prevent mistakes.

Cons

  • Transparency in pricing. Add-on features can increase costs quickly and its not always clear which serves are included in the base package.
  • RUN Powered by ADP® has had a meaningful impact on our business by reducing administrative time and lowering compliance risk. Automating payroll and tax filings has saved several hours per pay period that would otherwise be spent on manual calculations, tracking deadlines, and preparing filings. This time savings allows us to focus more on operations and client work.
  • The platform’s automated tax handling has also reduced the likelihood of penalties or missed filings, which provides financial and operational stability. While the cost of the service can increase as add‑ons are introduced, the reliability of payroll processing and compliance support offsets much of that expense.
  • Overall, RUN Powered by ADP® has contributed to smoother operations, fewer errors, and more predictable payroll cycles, which supports our broader goals of efficiency and compliance.
My employees like being able to independently access the payroll features themselves. They can change their banking information or deposit allocations, at anytime. They also appreciate having ready access to their W-2s for tax purposes.
I absolutely the features that allow me to easily access information. It definitely saves me time when I am putting together financial reports and employee reports for the proposals I bid on with public agencies that require this type of information.
Overall, RUN Powered by ADP® has contributed to smoother operations, fewer errors, and more predictable payroll cycles, which supports our broader goals of efficiency and compliance. I switched from another provider for three reasons: 1. Cost, 2. Less aggressive add-on sales tactics, 3. Sales representatives have less turn-over and more accessibility than my previous provider.
