How ADP payroll services work
1. Onboarding
Getting started with ADP is straightforward. During the onboarding process, your company's payroll setup is configured, which includes entering employee details, establishing pay schedules, and implementing company-specific rules. The ADP team ensures a smooth transition by integrating your existing data and customizing the system to meet your needs.
2. Data Feeds
ADP securely receives your payroll data through automated data feeds. This encompasses hours worked, new hires, terminations, and any changes to employee information. These data feeds can be integrated directly from your timekeeping systems or entered manually, guaranteeing accurate and up-to-date payroll information.
3. Automated Calculations
ADP’s system automatically calculates gross pay, deductions, benefits, and taxes based on the latest regulations. The platform supports Single Touch Payroll (STP) reporting, ensuring compliance with ATO requirements.
4. Payments
Once calculations are complete, ADP processes employee payments via direct deposit. Employers receive detailed payroll reports, and employees can access their pay slips anytime through the employee self-service portal.
5. Taxes, Filings and compliance
ADP handles all payroll tax filings and payments on your behalf, including federal, state, and local taxes. The system automatically generates and submits required reports, including STP submissions to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), helping you stay compliant with evolving regulations.
ADP Provides dedicated expert support to assist with any payroll questions, compliance updates or technical issues. Meanwhile, employees have 24/7 access to their payroll information.

Your core payroll questions answered
What is a payroll provider?
A payroll provider is a service that manages payroll tasks for companies that prefer not to handle payroll in-house.
A payroll provider can calculate wages, process deductions like super and third-party payments, maintain records, and update employees’ MyGov accounts. Payroll providers use specialised software to ensure compliance with regulations in Australia, New Zealand, and globally, helping to avoid fines and penalties.
What are payroll managed services?
If you choose as a business to hand over every payroll process to a trusted outsourced provider like ADP, these are known as payroll managed services.
This means your managed payroll processes and technology are handled by experts, ensuring your HR, finance, and admin teams are freed up from time-consuming work. Now you can stay compliant with regulations in Australia, New Zealand, and global markets, including Single Touch Payroll (STP), Payday Filing, and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Who needs payroll services?
Is your business struggling with running in-house payroll? Can’t afford the time or expense to recruit, train and retain accounting or HR professionals? You could benefit from outsourced payroll services.
The advantages of outsourcing payroll include saving the costs of an in-house department and avoiding the complexity of staying up to date with ever-changing compliance regulations. Plus, say goodbye to manual errors and potential fines for missing compliance deadlines.
Will ADP payroll solutions integrate with my current software?
You can start with ADP payroll and then add other ADP services such as Electronic Payment Services (EPS), as well as time and attendance. Our payroll platform offers seamless integration with your current software, including time capture and rostering systems, to help secure buy-in from your team and ensure smooth operations. This flexibility means you can easily connect ADP payroll with other HR software and expand your solutions as your business needs grow.
How much does a payroll service provider charge?
The cost of a payroll service provider can vary depending on several factors, including the size of your business, the number of employees, and the range of services you require.
Pricing typically reflects what the payroll software includes, such as tax filing, compliance management, employee self-service, and integration with other systems. Providers often charge a base fee plus a per-employee or per-payroll run fee. It’s best to request a customized quote to understand the exact costs tailored to your business needs.
Is payroll software worth the cost?
Payroll software is worth the cost because it automates complex tasks, reduces errors, ensures compliance, and saves time—addressing the real cost of payroll beyond just processing pay.
While free third-party services may seem attractive, they often lack essential compliance features and security, posing risks to your business. Investing in trusted payroll software helps protect your business from costly fines and operational headaches.
