ADP Workforce Now

By audience

Accounting & Finance

• Acts as the system of record for payroll runs, multi-jurisdiction tax filing, and labor-cost data feeding the ERP general ledger.
• Generates certified payroll reports (WH-347 / state equivalents) for prevailing-wage projects via marketplace add-ons or built-in modules.
• Posts labor-burden allocations (workers' comp, fringes) by job/cost-code through ERP integrations like Sage 300 CRE, Foundation, or Vista.

Human Resources

• Single system for hiring, onboarding, benefits enrollment, performance reviews, and termination across the worker lifecycle.
• ACA tracking, EEO-1 reporting, and harassment/safety training compliance handled in-platform.
• Self-service portal for employees to access pay stubs, W-2s, PTO balances, and benefits — reducing inbound HR tickets.

IT & Systems Administration

• Provisions and de-provisions employee accounts via SCIM/SAML for sign-in to other systems (Microsoft 365, Procore, Autodesk, etc.).
• ADP API Central exposes REST APIs for IT to build custom integrations to construction-specific systems not covered by the Marketplace.

General Contracting

• GC's HR/payroll backbone for office staff and self-perform crews; integrates with field time-tracking apps to feed weekly payroll.
• Handles multi-state, multi-union payroll complexity that smaller payroll tools can't accommodate.

Specialty Contracting

• Manages union vs non-union payroll splits, fringe contributions, and dues remittance for trade contractors.
• Integrates with field timekeeping tools (eBacon, hh2, busybusy) to capture per-diem, prevailing wage, and project-coded hours.

By phase

Construction

• Runs continuously to process weekly/biweekly payroll for active jobsite crews, including certified payroll for federal/state-funded jobs.
• Tracks time/attendance and routes labor cost to the project ledger via integrations with the ERP.

Closeout & Operations

• Manages workforce off-boarding (final-pay, COBRA, unemployment) as crews demobilize after project completion.
• Continues handling W-2 and year-end tax for staff retained between projects.
