Paying taxes and payroll on time.

What differentiates ADP TotalSource from other similar products?
We haven't gotten a single tax notification since we switched to totalsource. We got alerts all the time from our prior local provider. The tax staff at ADP is really big and knows what they're doing. Even with our complicated commission structures, the payroll engine is always right.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I like the app for staff on their phones. They may check in, ask for time off, and see their pay stubs all from their phones. It uses the normal adp mobile app, which is quite stable. I also enjoy how the 401k works with it. The data flows smoothly, and they take care of the audits, which used to be a headache for us to do on our own.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Reporting can be a little limiting. Because you are in a group with other organizations, you may not be able to gain the same detailed raw data access that you could get with a stand-alone system.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I suggest this for stability. If you want your payroll and taxes to just function without you having to worry about them, ADP TotalSource is the best choice.
Pros
- Trustworthy
