ADP RUN At A Glance
Product Overview
ADP sells a variety of solutions that are targeted to specific company sizes. This review focuses on the RUN, Powered by ADP platform.
RUN, Powered by ADP, is a web-based payroll and HRMS solution specifically designed for small businesses with less than 50 employees. It has an intuitive interface with streamlined features so small business owners can focus on critical aspects of running an organization.
Users simply run payroll quickly from any device. ADP’s automatic tax features help owners keep on top of the federal and state regulations so they’re in compliance. RUN also includes a mobile app for accessing features outside the office.
RUN offers four pricing tiers, so companies only pay for the features they need. We detail each tier in our Features section below.
For companies that want to outsource some or all of their payroll and HR functions, ADP offers two optional services.
