ADP Workforce Now: what it is, who it is for and what it costs
ADP Workforce Now is a cloud HR and payroll platform from ADP for mid-sized and large employers. It covers payroll, time and attendance, benefits administration and HR features on one connected employee record. ADP says it provides payroll and HCM services in more than 140 countries.
Who it is for
The provider offers demos for organizations with 50 to 999 and with 1,000 or more employees. It does not explicitly target smaller firms. For employers in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, check whether the product and its payroll rules are available locally, as the page does not say so.
Key features

- Time and attendance (Premium package) and benefits administration (Plus package).
- Employee self-service for pay questions and time-off requests.
- Compensation benchmarking based on pay data of more than 39 million workers.

Pricing
No public prices. There are three packages, Select, Plus and Premium, each with a pricing request. Stand: November 2026, laut Produktseite des Anbieters: kein öffentlicher Preis, Angebot auf Anfrage.
Limits
- Cost is only known after a quote.
- Features depend on the package, for example time tracking only in Premium.
- Local payroll and compliance for DACH are not confirmed on the pages checked (check point).

Data protection and DACH
The trust page lists ISO/IEC 27001 and 27701 for select services and locations, plus SOC 1 and SOC 2 Type 2 reports for select products. It refers to a global privacy policy and binding corporate rules. GDPR, data hosting location and a data processing agreement are not addressed on that page, so request them in writing. German-language interface and support are not stated (checked November 2026).
