ADP Introduces Enhanced Payroll Solution For Accountants To Offer Greater Flexibility
Accountants Can Choose Do-it-Yourself or Full Service Tax Filing for their Small Business Clients
ROSELAND, N.J. (November 10, 2008) – ADP ® Employer Services, a leading provider of HR, payroll and benefits administration services, today announced the availability of a new and enhanced version of RUN powered by ADP Payroll for Accountants. RUN is the only online payroll solution that enables accountants who process payroll for their small business clients to choose between performing tax filing and check printing themselves or having ADP take on those responsibilities on their behalf.
This solution offers accountants several significant new features:
o Enhanced Security: Access to client data can be restricted to individual users within the same firm.
o Flexible Payroll Data Entry: Accountants can choose, on a case-by-case basis, whether to enter their clients’ payroll information or have their small business client manage this task directly.
o Integration with Pay-by-Pay® Premium Payment Plan for Workers’ Compensation: Accountants using ADP’s Pay-by-Pay to automate workers’ compensation payments benefit from product integration, eliminating the need for redundant data entry.
o Additional Pay Options: Direct deposit, payroll card, and ADPChecktm.
“ADP works closely with the accountant community to better understand their business challenges,” said Don Weinstein, Division Vice President, ADP Small Business Services. “The ADP RUN Wholesale solution was developed with accountants input. We wanted to make sure that our accountant partners have the right solution to meet their small business clients’ needs. RUN powered by ADP Payroll for Accountants offers the industry’s most powerful and flexible solution from do-it-yourself to full-service tax filing.”
The products pricing is simple. Accountants pay a flat monthly rate plus a per check charge for each client. There are no additional fees for W2’s. ADP makes the payment process simple by providing a consolidated bill for all clients.
“Payroll can be a tedious job. RUN, Powered by ADP, Payroll for Accountants is the perfect solution to make the job easier,” said Abdulaziz Sugule, Payroll Processing Corporation, ADP Client. “ADP guarantees accuracy and since they are filing all the federal, state and local taxes, they assume regulatory responsibility as well.

Using an intuitive point-and-click menu, accountants can calculate payroll gross-to-net, preview the results prior to processing, and offer online access to payroll information and direct deposit for their clients’ employees. When payroll is complete, accountants can choose to print paychecks at their office, have ADP print and deliver them on their behalf, or allow the client to print them directly.
