What is ADP?
ADP is a global provider of human capital management (HCM) software, offering integrated payroll, HR, time and attendance, benefits administration, and talent management tools. Its core small-business product, RUN Powered by ADP, serves companies with 1 to 49 employees across four tiers (Essential, Enhanced, Complete, and HR Pro), while ADP Workforce Now targets organizations from 50 to 1,000+ employees with Select, Plus, and Premium service levels. ADP also offers PEO services, global payroll, and enterprise HCM solutions.
The platform automates tax calculations and filings, direct deposit, employee time tracking via badges, PINs, biometrics, geo-fencing, or mobile apps, and includes AI-powered anomaly detection for payroll issues. ADP does not publish fixed prices; costs are quoted individually based on employee count, payroll frequency, states of operation, and selected features, typically combining a base monthly fee with a per-employee charge.
