However, ADP does not include team collaboration on candidates and custom screening questions that can help you pinpoint and hire the best fit for your team.

ADP offers Benefits Reports through Workforce Now, but they don’t offer the same level of benefits management that Rise does, missing some of key components that will actually benefit you and your employees. Rise Benefits Management allows employees to self-enrol online in just minutes, and any changes are automatically synced with your provider and Rise. We’ll work with your advisor to manage the set up and registration of your group health benefits so you can focus your energy elsewhere—on your people.

ADP offers holiday and black out customisation through ADP Workforce Now.
