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.”
AB

Allyson B.

PM

“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.”

Pros

“Hot schedules will adjust your labor as you schedule people, so if employee a is close to overtime and you schedule them you will know instantly if they hit it and by how much time.”

Executive chef

“High schedule works across multiple companies, so those multiple companies tie in together when it comes to the website so it makes things super efficient”
NW

Nathaniel W.

Chef

“All in all, I can say how schedule is very efficient fast and reliable when it came to my schedule and my time off request and a lot of other things”
NW

Chef

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

“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.”
CM

Caroline M.

Value-Based Solutions Manager

“Some features can be difficult to navigate when first learning the system, and certain reports require multiple steps to generate.”
BM

Bernice M.

HR

Cons

“The inventory feature of HotSchedules can be finicky on devices outside of a computer, meaning you have a hard time entering data unless you record it and take it back to a computer.”
LW

Leahya W.

Assistant Manager

“The integration with Point of Sales system is tricky and time consuming. ”

Derick C.

VP of Finance

“Mobile function was lacking, and the cost of the app was prohibitive for general employee use.”
