A proven payroll and HR giant, reassuring for large accounts and international scope, but heavy and opaque on price for a small agile operation.
ADP is one of the largest global players in payroll and human resources management. Present in many countries, including France, it offers outsourced payroll solutions and HR software covering the whole chain: payroll, filings, time and attendance, talent management and compliance, from small businesses to large groups.
ADP is used to outsource or strengthen payroll and HR processes: producing payslips, social filings, time management, personnel administration and reporting. Its strength is experience, international coverage and regulatory compliance, including for multi-country companies wanting a single partner.
ADP mainly targets established companies and large accounts that want a proven provider for sensitive, high-volume payroll. For a French small or mid-size business seeking more simplicity and autonomy, more modern solutions like PayFit may be preferred.
ADP works on quote, with no public rate card. Price depends on headcount, chosen modules (payroll only or full HR) and level of outsourcing. Pricing generally combines a subscription and a cost per payslip or per employee, negotiated case by case.
