Pros

“File uploads are straightforward, storage is perfectly adequate for HR needs, and the system quietly keeps track of things you’d rather not think about, like performance reviews and absence records.”
LD

Leo D.

Embedded software test engineer

“It covers a broad range of HR functions, including recruitment, performance management, and payroll, which is beneficial for managing the entire employee lifecycle in one place.”
JL

Jared L.

HR Manager

“Value for money is decent because it focuses on doing core HR tasks properly rather than trying to be a flashy all-in-one super system.”
LD

Embedded software test engineer

Pros

“It also offers great flexibility for employees, who can clock in through mobile apps with geofencing, web browsers, or physical biometric kiosks.”
GS

Gift S.

Human Resources Clerk

“ADP Workforce Now is a highly reliable, all-in-one HR platform that does a fantastic job of streamlining everything from payroll and tax filing to benefits administration and time tracking. Because it houses employee data in one centralized hub, it eliminates the headache of jumping between different systems and drastically reduces manual data entry.”

Kirstie B.

Admin

“The shift scheduling feature can be a little tricky!”
YM

Yousaf M.

HR Director

Cons

“Setting up custom approval workflows or building specialized reports via the custom report builder is a cumbersome, click-heavy process that often requires a steep learning curve or direct intervention from ADP support”
BN

Brennan N.

Insurance Agent

“The biggest complaints about ADP Workforce Now center on clunky reporting, inflexible customization, and frustrating customer support, and it doesn't have pto hours updated”
TJ

Tamia J.

Administration

“It requires a fair number of clicks and time to manage and doesn't visually show performance as well as other available performance management platforms.”
