What Sets Paychex Apart from ADP
No Migrating As You Expand
With ADP
You may move from Roll to Run to Workforce Now. Continuing to phase out of platforms can lead to re-implementation challenges, ongoing training in new platforms, and communication issues.
With Paychex
You get Paychex Flex®, now and later. With a one-time implementation, it has the tools your business needs as it grows.
Customizable Support in Reach
With ADP
Depending on how many employees you have, you may not have access to dedicated support who can help you resolve more complex issues your business may be facing.
With Paychex
You have the option to add the level of flexible support that best suits your budget and operational needs—no matter how many employees you have.
Assigned. Proactive. Dedicated.
With ADP
HR support may come in the form of generalized best practices and without a single point of contact for your business.
With Paychex
You can use a dedicated HR professional assigned to deliver ongoing, personalized answers to your HR questions, help you proactively identify and assess risk, and provide strategic and day-to-day support. Plus, our HR professionals average more than 15 years of industry experience.
Tailored to Your Needs
With ADP
You get a generic learning management system (LMS) with limited report customization and no employee engagement tools.
With Paychex
You get a fully customizable platform with advanced reporting, a robust LMS, and employee engagement tools to support your team better.
