Save time and streamline your business

When you integrate ADP payroll with a workers’ compensation policy brokered by our affiliate, Automatic Data Processing Insurance Agency (ADPIA®), your premium payments are automatically forwarded directly to the carrier. Skip the administrative hassle, so you can spend more time focused on your business.

  • Reduce your risk of late payments and policy cancellations, and overpayment of premiums
  • Eliminate the need to write manual checks

  • Premiums are based on your actual real-time payroll information and carrier rates
  • Reduce the chance of unexpected “catch-up” payments or end-of-year audit surprises

Simplify audits

Access convenient reports to track and manage premiums paid every time you process payroll.

  • Detailed information at the employee, state, and class-code level
  • Carriers may accept the Pay-by-Pay report during the year-end audit; and approve without your involvement**
  • Get support from a team of licensed agents to answer your questions about workers’ comp, audits, or claims

of ADP clients said using our Pay-by-Pay premium payment program made preparing for their workers’ comp audit easier.
