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

“he customer support team has been responsive and knowledgeable whenever we've needed assistance, and the system's automation features have helped minimize errors and save valuable time.”

Marilyn D.

Agency

“I love that I can manage payroll, run audits, configure cost centers, support benefits, run reporting, handle historical data migrations, and create workflows all in one system.”

Hardeep K.

HR Generalist

“there are so many features that allow you to Remind employees or participants of trainings of activities of anniversaries or birthdays there are opportunities for you to give praise and you’re easily able to see your upcoming and past paychecks.”

Ashley G.

After school and summer camp teacher

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

“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

“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.”

Dave E.

Maintenance Tech

Cons

“More transparency on PDRs, we have a hard time tracking the status of the PDR submitted, we have to ask for updates every time, I wish there is a portal/dashboard we can track it by the PDR number.”

Xin L.

HRIS Coordinator

“The system is not user friendly: Unnecessary separation of tabs and information, unhelpful AI bot, uneducated (and sometimes) unresponsive Support Team, constant unnecessary and unhelpful updates, numerous glitches in the system, etc.”

Lauren S.

HR Coordinator and Recruiter

“We have experienced several challenges with Paylocity, including occasional inaccuracies in time-off accruals and balance transfers, incompatibility with employees in American Samoa which requires manual work, and improperly configured EDI.”

Paola A.
