FAQs about ADP vs. Justworks
Why should my business choose ADP over Justworks?
While ADP and Justworks provide a PEO model that can address basic HR needs, ADP TotalSource goes above and beyond by delivering hands-on expert guidance combined with user-friendly technology. This technology is designed to adapt to the demands of growth, ensuring that scaling up is seamless. ADP’s guidance and support is from an expert dedicated to your business and is always backed by ADP.
ADP TotalSource provides customized benefit plan design to help you choose the best options for your employees, offering access to 25 national and regional carriers across 50 states. Our tailored approach helps you attract and retain talent.
How user-friendly is ADP’s technology, and how does it compare to Justworks’?
TotalSource is an intuitive, all-in-one platform that makes it easy to manage people and tasks through self-service tools and a highly rated mobile app. Users can access all their data in just minutes, while businesses enjoy 24/7 access to essential functions such as payroll, HR, benefits administration, compliance, reporting, analytics, and more, allowing businesses to access information quickly to make informed decisions. Additionally, it includes convenient employee self-service features that can be accessed through a mobile app.
Justworks provides technology capabilities to customers, but lacks depth in features, functionality, scalability, support, and integrations with third parties as compared to ADP.
How does ADP TotalSource have my back legally, and how does it compare to Justworks?
While both PEOs include Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI), ADP TotalSource also offers a legal defense benefit, which may help reduce financial penalties associated with employee lawsuits and claims.
Can ADP TotalSource and Justworks integrate with other platforms and partners?
ADP TotalSource connects clients to hundreds of leading software applications, including financial wellness, productivity systems, specialty time & attendance, and more. Justworks has a limited number of vendors and applications available for integrations.
How much does ADP TotalSource cost?
Meeting with an ADP representative is crucial for understanding your business needs and providing a personalized quote. To ensure transparency in our pricing and to give you an accurate estimate, we need to gather information about your HR, benefits, and workers' compensation requirements. It's important to note that Justworks shows the administrative fee in their pricing online, which is just one component of the overall cost.
