The benefits of ADP small business payroll solutions
With ADP you only pay for what you need, helping you keep your costs down. Our small business payroll services offer a customisable and scalable pricing model, paid per employee, per pay cycle, which gives you the flexibility to meet your changing needs. We also have a variety of extra administration and service options.
ADP small business payroll solutions adapt to fit your individual needs, whether you want to retain some control over payroll tasks, or hand over complete control of all your payroll processes. We offer flexible and scalable payroll outsourcing services, enabling you to scale up your needs and add on HR capabilities too.
Our small business payroll services don’t just ensure employees are paid accurately and on time, because that’s not all you need from a payroll services’ provider.

The wrong small business payroll services’ provider could put your company at risk from not following regulatory requirements, which can result in costly fines. ADP helps small businesses navigate today’s complexities including regulatory changes, compliance, audits, employee experience and handling sensitive payroll data.
To keep complexity at bay we make it our job to stay on top of regulations. These include payroll and tax regulations, wage and hour laws, new hire reporting and much more.
