Note: ADP offers numerous software platforms, but their flagship solution is ADP Workforce Now. That is the system that is being referred to throughout this article.
ADP charges companies on a per employee per month basis. A typical ADP Workforce Now subscription can cost anywhere from $15-24 PEPM, depending on the size of your company and the modules included in your scope.
ADP also offers outsourced compliance, payroll and benefits services, called Comprehensive Services. When those costs are included, the total can range from $28-50 PEPM.
In addition to the software fees, ADP will typically charge a one-time implementation fee. ADP's implementation fees are typically about 15-25% of the annual software fees (i.e., $15-25K implementation fee on a $100K annual purchase)

ADP Workforce Now is considered a Mid-Market HRIS, which means the system works best for companies with between 75 and 750 employees. Mid-Market solutions are designed to be an all-in-one HRIS for companies with fairly standard HR requirements.
Mid-Market solutions typically take about 3 months to implement and do not require external consultants to successfully implement and manage the solutions. Mid-Market solutions can be limited in how scalable they are, due to a lack of custom workflow tools and limited rules engines.
