OnPay vs ADP RUN

A good payroll service lets you handle all of your workers in the same pay run — in as many states as you need. And there should be no extra fees for additional pay runs. Remember that the tax rates and filing requirements vary at the federal, state, and local level. Selecting a provider that guarantees accurate calculations will give you extra peace of mind knowing things are done right.

With OnPay, you can pay W-2 and 1099 workers all in the same pay run. And with over 30 years of payroll experience, we’ll get things right for every business and locale ⁠— guaranteed.

It’s a good idea to confirm who will handle new employee onboarding. Some providers leave this up to the employer.

OnPay gives you all of the tools to streamline onboarding. You can send offer letters and new hire documents for e-signature right from the app.

Great question! Not every provider will report new workers to the appropriate state or district. Both OnPay and Run by ADP report new hires when they come onboard.

When you hire new workers, OnPay reports new hires on your behalf to all fifty states, plus DC. New hire reporting is typically completed every Friday by the close of business.

Whether you have one pay schedule or multiple, you’ll need a payroll platform that can support how often you plan to pay workers. The software should handle all of the calculations, withholdings, and deductions ⁠— including those for special pay types like tips, commissions, or bonuses.

With OnPay, you get unlimited pay runs and schedules included for one low monthly price. You can even run an off cycle payroll, and cancel or edit a pay run as needed. And with our accuracy guarantee, you can relax knowing that all of the calculations are done right.

A great payroll software will help you keep track of more than just payday. Many offer onboarding features that simplify the hiring process: like e-signature for an offer letter, W-4, and I-9. Just double check to make sure there aren’t hefty fees or upgrades for these. OnPay includes these hiring and onboarding features in our Payroll Essentials base plan.

For more robust needs, OnPay gives you a comprehensive and affordable option to do even more with our HR add-on at just $15 base + $2/worker per month. This gives you even more features and flexibility to manage and track PTO, conduct document audits, build customizable onboarding workflows, and more.

OnPay also makes it easy to integrate workers’ comp, retirement savings, and benefits with your payroll at no extra cost; you’ll only pay the premium for the plan(s) you’ve selected. Providers like ADP often charge integration fees in order for you to keep everything synced.
