ROSELAND, N.J., May 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ADP ®, a leading
provider of human resource outsourcing, payroll services, tax and
compliance services, benefits administration and integrated
computing solutions for vehicle dealers, today announced that its
popular payroll management platform for small businesses, RUN
Powered by ADP®, is now also available for the Android™ smartphone
operating platform. Clients using RUN Powered by ADP® can now
download the free mobile payroll app for their Android™ smartphone
and begin managing and processing payroll for their employees and
contractors through their mobile device.
The Android operating platform is now the leading smartphone
operating system in the United
States with 31.2% of the market, according to recent
research from comScore. Following the launch of ADP's highly
successful first mobile payroll app for the iPhone® platform in
October, 2010, today a larger population of small business owners
can take advantage of ADP's secure payroll solution on a mobile
device. Furthering the company's commitment to continuous
mobile enhancements, in the near future RUN Powered by ADP will
soon be available on Blackberry devices.
"RUN Powered by ADP is redefining mobility for small business
owners. Now that our innovative payroll solution is
accessible on the popular Android smartphones, many more
professionals will be able to manage their payroll at any time from
any location—simply by using ADP's mobile app," said Regina Lee, President of ADP's Small Business
Services and Major Account Services. "RUN Powered by ADP
offers a secure, convenient and remarkably efficient way to manage
payroll, allowing users to administer payroll quickly and securely
on a handheld device," Lee added.
RUN Powered by ADP also satisfies the demand of an increasingly
mobile workforce. According to a 2010 nationwide survey
conducted by ADP Research Institute, a specialized group within
ADP, small businesses are leading the trend toward increased
mobility. The survey showed that 90 percent of small business
executives spend at least some time outside of the office for
business, averaging nine hours a week or 23 percent of a 40-hour
work week. Additionally, a third of that 90 percent indicated
that time "on the go" is increasing.
"We are committed to delivering on our promise to help enable
small business owners focus on what matters most to them—namely,
growing their business and investing in their human capital," Lee
continued. "Soon, our mobile payroll solution will also be
available on BlackBerry-compatible devices to further increase its
availability to small business owners on their device of choice,"
Lee added.
ADP recently announced that 100,000 of its small business
clients use the innovative and convenient RUN Powered by ADP online
platform, which also helps to reduce risk by assisting them with
best practices for HR compliance, including employee policy
handbooks, hiring guidelines and employment law tips and
alerts.
Jeff Phillips of HP Investments
in Daly City, CA illustrated the
convenience of ADP's mobile solution. "The freedom of being
able to schedule my payroll runs on my calendar, set up an
appointment and run payroll on the day it was due, anywhere I
happened to be, was too much to pass up. The iPhone app took
a couple of minutes to find and install, and I ran my first payroll
all from the 15th tee!" Phillips explained.
With RUN Powered by ADP payroll's secure system, small
businesses can:
- Enter and review payroll information for employees and
contractors;
- Pay via checks or direct deposits;
- Calculate earnings and deductions as well as federal, state and
local taxes;
- Review hours and earnings to confirm accuracy before payroll is
processed;
- Preview payroll liability and cash required, and confirm funds
to be withdrawn;
- Review reports from the current and previous periods in real
time; and
- Access HR411®, a suite of simple yet powerful tools to help
better manage HR needs.
Whether using the online or mobile version, RUN Powered by ADP
features an interface that allows business owners and executives to
enter their workers' hours and deductions, as well as calculate and
preview payroll before approving. It is available for free
from both the Android Market (market.android.com) and the App Store
for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch (www.itunes.com/appstore/).
It will soon be made available for RIM devices.
