Pros

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

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.”

Allyson B.

“The ability to easily access payroll, tax documents, time-off balances, and other HR-related information enables self-service and reduces the need to contact HR, helping to minimize administrative bottlenecks and improve efficiency.”

Caroline M.

Value-Based Solutions Manager

Pros

“Dayforce powerpay is professional, and for a larger company, a great payroll option.”

Crystal C.

Manager

“Dayforce makes it easy for employees to manage their schedules.”

Aiden V.

Youth care Specialist

“Support feature works well.”

Ben R.

HR Manager

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”

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”

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.”

Caroline M.

Value-Based Solutions Manager

Cons

“The service dies a LOT more than I actually use and because we have no dedicate payroll staff, it is easy to forget some of the more arcane functions that are only needed a couple of times a year.”

Frank P.

Manager

“Currently, if you input information on employee timesheets, the employee is excluded from rapid entry (they're listed, you just cant make any changes on there).”

Kimberly F.

Junior Accountant

“If you have an employee on leave you are not able to view or edit their file within PowerPay which is sometimes required.”

Ryan W.
