Pros

“It offers useful reports for payroll and HR data, and employees can easily access their pay statements, tax forms, and personal information through self‑service.”

Ana C.

Compensation Manager

“In terms of value for money, it provides solid functionality and dependable service for small to mid‑sized businesses, making the cost reasonable when compared to the accuracy, compliance support, and convenience it delivers.”

Ana C.

Compensation Manager

“Because payroll compliance is so critical, ADP typically assigns representatives to help set up tax profiles, employee details, and historical data. While it can take a couple of days to ensure all specific state categories are aligned properly, users generally report feeling well-supported during the initial configuration.”

Derek Z.

Owner

Pros

“My favourite part is being able to reliably track everyone's time off and the ability to calculate what is owing once an employee departs.”

Sean G.

President

“Bulk Time-Off and Holiday Pay Handling: You can add holiday pay or time off in bulk for multiple employees, saving admin time.”

Danielle C.

HR Manager

“All of my leave requests, timesheets and even employee hire and resignation dates all in one place - easy access and dependability at its best.”

Jennifer S.

Program Director

Cons

“The only thing that I do not like is that if I go to add in PTO or Holiday or sick pay for one pay period that it keeps it in for the next pay period and doesn't automatically reset.”

Bill S.

Owner

“you have to run 2 payroll periods on time before you can reschedule any paydates or skip any or your account gets shut off”

CHRISTINA M.

ADMINISTRATOR

“Therefore, every time I go to process Semi-monthly payroll, RUN tells me I have timesheets to approve; which is not the case because semi-monthly employees do not fill out timesheets. ”

Lorie S.

Assistant Controller

Cons

“The one drawback (which is why I have my review at a 4 stars) is that there is no app yet for a phone, employees still need to a use a web browser to access.”

Ashley S.

Business Manager

“Some processes need streamlining, system glitches cause headaches, and I wish we could customize more.”

Erin S.

HR Manager

“Initially setting up our time off balances was a little confusing, but customer care was always just a phone call or email away.”

Kim S.

MDU Office Administrator
