ADP vs Paychex Comparison

Although we’re comparing two veterans in the industry, ADP has the experience advantage over Paychex having been established way back in 1949. The New York-based company provides one of the most polished products on the market with a wealth of features designed to fit businesses of all sizes. Importantly, ADP is easy to use for any newcomers who will soon find themselves feeling like payroll experts. It helps that ADP is constantly checking your payroll to flag up any potential errors. The whole payroll process runs smoothly but like with Paychex, its features go much further than that. ADP includes plenty of HR functions like onboarding, time tracking, and it allows you to create company documentation that employees can access from the impressive mobile app. If that isn’t enough, then you can browse through the lengthy list of integrations – a list only rivaled by Paychex.

Since 1971 New Jersey company Paychex has solidified its place in the payroll industry. Paychex doesn’t stop at payroll; the service also delivers HR and time tracking capabilities. Most importantly, it does payroll very well. Although the dashboard may seem a little overwhelming at first, that’s only because Paychex has so many features to offer. Payouts can be done through direct deposit, customizable checks, and even ‘paycards’ for employees without bank accounts. For those who need more than payroll, the HR support provided ensures you’ll always be up to date on best practices and you’ll even be given access to a professional consulting service. With Paychex you can go beyond HR, as integrations also include accounting services, hiring services, and insurance companies. You’ll be able to link Paychex to just about everything you need.
