Avalon Park Group is a diversified real estate development and property management company with 200 employees and operations spanning multiple states and industries. The company uses ADP TotalSource as a professional employer organization (PEO) for mergers and acquisitions, centralizing employee data, payroll and HR for newly acquired entities. ADP® also supports compliance, benefits administration, tax filing, Forms W-2, mobile self-service and time tracking. This approach replaced disconnected processes, made multi-jurisdiction employer obligations easier to manage and reduced administrative work for APG’s lean HR team, allowing leaders to focus on growth and employee needs.
Even though ADP is a huge organization, you can pick up the phone and have a solution in minutes. It could be a legal request, employee question, tax problem — it doesn’t matter. ADP helps you find an answer.
