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.”
CM

Caroline M.

Value-Based Solutions Manager

Pros

“I also appreciate the self-service functionality, which allows employees to view and manage their payroll information without needing to contact HR.”
JV

Jordan V.

Sales Specialist

“Integrations such as ROE processing, CRA payments, T4 filing, Warnings, and a stellar service department makes payroll a great tool box.”
LP

Lisa P.

President

“Payworks has leveled up me productivity when submitting payroll, and has allowed me to focus my time and energy into other aspects of my business.”
BH

Brittany H.

Owner

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

“The system is also not very intuitive—simple tasks often require clicking through four different menus, and the custom report builder feels like it hasn't been updated since 2005.”
DE

Dave E.

Maintenance Tech

Cons

“I dislike that some of the drop down menus cannot be accessed by "smart search" of putting in the first two or three letters of a name, you have to scroll through one at a time.”
MS

Margaret S.

Accounting and Payroll

“My only complaint would be that I have a bunch of clients using Payworks and I have a different service rep for each client”
SM

Shauna M.

Bookkeeper

“At the beginning, I found it a bit difficult to navigate the sidebar and figure out where everything was.”
