Understanding your costs is vital for making informed business decisions. ADP Workforce Now and RUN by ADP charge customers for every single payroll run, which could drastically change the month to month cost for their users.
BambooHR makes payroll predictable, painless and stress-free. You pay once per month based on your employee count, so you never have to worry about an extra charge if you need to make a payroll change. And with our customizable reporting and full-service tax filing included for any size organization, it’s no wonder we score 41 points higher than ADP in NPS surveys!(4)
