They always got jammed up with taxes, or with employees not being able to access their own data or paychecks not being delivered on time. Plus, my accountant had a great relationship with ADP, and she said it was easy to set up, easy to deal with and that it was a one-stop shop for everything we needed — which it really is. So, to me, using ADP just made sense.
