I agree with Karen. I don't know what you have now but we have been happy with the HR Module, Benefits Administration, Tax filing, Report Writing, Tech support, Applicant tracking, Time and attendance. ADP is a world wide operation and has pretty much anything you need unless you are working with Federal Contract and need more detail time keeping, they have an upgraded product that would do that.

Answered: Marilyn Milby on April 7, 2020 ADP provides a multitude of services: PR, HR & Benefits Mgmt., Tax Svcs.; Time & Labor; PTO Tracking & EE self-service just to name a few! They are in constant communications with the IRS to ensure compliance for all clients. The 'Bridge' is their portal providing a huge database of tools/guides, as well as a Q&A forum where ADP consultants & clients takes place. I've worked with ADP's different software since 2002 & as they constantly upgrade with the times they are able to keep it user-friendly. It's everything you need from A to Z and worth the investment.

All of the systems have similarities and differences when it comes to modules offered, ease of use, customer service, implementation, etc. To fully answer a question like this I would need to know what other system I was comparing ADP to (Ultipro, Paylocity, Workday, etc.) . Answered: Karen Groover, SPHR on April 20, 2020 To be honest we were with ADP for several years and 2 years ago we switched to a different provider. We only used the Payroll, Time & Attendance and Tax Filing services with ADP. Reason for the switch was their service, we were constantly moved to different service reps. Also when everything switched due to Obama Care there were long wait on the phone just to talk to someone (one time it was almost 3 hours). We made the decision to switch and when I notified them it was almost as if they did not care. I hope their service has changed back to the wa it was when we bgan with.
