The most reliable HRIS
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
I have used ADP Workforce Now at two companies. The first, we implemented ADP Workforce Now as we acquired international companies. The software helped the HR side of the transition go smoothly (and helped the HR team from going mad). The implementation team and support were knowledgeable, helpful, patient.
Now, I use ADP Workforce Now in a small company, where I am the whole department. Trusting that payroll is correct - that laws are watched and action is taken to update processes, deductions, what-have-you as those changes occur is such a relief. I use the recruitment feature which allows me to enter all the details ONCE and boom - we are posted everywhere. I love The Bridge to answer quick questions and discuss issues with fellow HR people.
I have used several systems over the years and recommend ADP Workforce Now above all others!

Pros
- Easy reporting - especially building custom reports
- The chat feature for quick questions and guided answers
- Accurate Payroll
Cons
- I wish I could edit our shift premiums
- The vacation accrual does not always happen automatically
- Some details of "how" things work are hidden and you have to call to dig in. I like to solve much myself.
Return on Investment
- Saving time and money by posting to multiple job sites at once.
- Saved a few thousand dollars a year by going paperless for checks.

ADP Workforce Now
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
In our organization, ADP Workforce Now serves as the central HRIS platform, supporting multiple areas of human resources and payroll. We use it for core HR functions including employee data management, payroll processing and time/attendance tracking. One of my favorite features of the platform is the Field Grabber functionality. It allows us to capture and pull custom data fields that go beyond the standard reports, giving us flexibility and precision in our reporting. My second favorite aspect is the Data Analytics capability—the ability to generate graphs and charts, apply filters, and visualize information in a clear and actionable way is extremely valuable.
Pros
- Data Analytics
- Field Grabber
- Customer Service (Ricard Franco is AWESOME)
- Onboarding
- Earning and Deduction Codes (easy to set up and use)
Cons
- Customized pre-process payroll reports (Limited on pre-process payroll reports)
- Labor Allocation (Allocations make payroll reporting very hard to review and find any errors )
- Recruiting (ATS is very basic)
- Geofencing (should be able to change shape rather than a circle)
- Pay Classes (should be able to change at Practitioner level rather than reach out to support)
- Cookies and Cache have to be cleared on a regular basis
- Only able to see employee documents/acknowledgements one at a time in the employee file
- Timecards can only be managed/viewed by 1 person
- Timeoff emails do not have a link
- Cost per payroll - not just monthly fee so cost with off cycle payrolls
- Separate I9 step not needed - during onboarding - 2nd Everify step
- ADP Workforce Now does not pull in allowances for Houly employees into payroll ONLY Salaried employees
Return on Investment
- Self-service tools for pay, benefits, and time-off requests improve employee satisfaction and reduce HR inquiries.
- Built-in compliance features help us avoid costly fines and ensure we stay aligned with changing regulation (quarterly reporting)
