I am extremely satisfied that I switched over to ADP. My previous payroll provider (SurePayroll) was never this efficient, helpful and would never answer email requests or return my calls.
Dina Kartsonas FYZICAL, G2 Reviewer
We switched to ADP, and the process went from taking me three hours to taking me about 20 minutes. And doing payroll takes five minutes. It's all plug-and-play—they've made it seamless.
Scott James President, Bridgepoint of Louisville
Running payroll for a small business is a headache. For me to have switched over to ADP, it’s saved...hours and hours every week. It could come out to days a month!

Once you have a federal employer identification number (EIN), employee tax documents, and a business bank account, you can process payroll with ADP right away. Simply log into your ADP account online and begin setting up your payroll information. To run payroll, start by reviewing all of your employee hours. You can then make any necessary adjustments to account for overtime, add any bonuses earned or add contractor payments, as well. View the demo for RUN Powered by ADP to see how fast and simple payroll can be.
Since a company's payroll requirements are based on its size as well as on its payroll and HR requirements, ADP offers several affordable options so you only pay for what your company truly needs. Compare packages for your business needs to decide which services fit best.
We make it easy to get up and running almost immediately after making the switch. Additionally, while some companies wait until the start of a new quarter or new year, we can support your switch anytime. All you'll need to do is provide employee data and the required documents to ensure a smooth and efficient transition. Our helpful guidebook, Switching Payroll Providers Made Easy, can also be a resource for switching payroll.
