What is RUN Powered by ADP?

RUN Powered by ADP is a payroll and HR platform built for small businesses with 1 to 49 employees. It handles payroll processing, automatic federal, state, and local tax calculation and filing, direct deposit, and W-2/1099 form creation, while adding HR tools such as onboarding, employee handbook support, time tracking, and access to recruiting resources like ZipRecruiter job postings.
