On March 12 I disputed fraudulent charges to my wisely pay card for the amount of $173.75 for **** eats *************. They denied the dispute without a reason of any sorts, they closed my case and ablutely refuse to help any at all and will not reimburse me at all. I've never used **** eats at all. I've been trying daily to get my money back and to no avail. They know that a girl named shaniya who in their words has a different account but similar payment method made these charges yet they still refuse me my refund. All I seek is my money back as I didn't create this mess.Initial Complaint

ADP's RUN division was our Payroll and 401K provider commencing 1/1/2024 and ending 12/31/2024. Previously we had used the firm ******* as our payroll and 401K provider. After executing the contract with ADP Run, we were informed that our 401K must remain until ADP Run's plan year commenced in June 2024. This required several unexpected manual transactions as ADP would calculate witholdings for our 401K but the funds had to be transferred to ******* until June 2024.During that period, ADP Run made certain entries related to our 401K account in our Accounting system for which ADP has no explanation. In addition, because we moved our account from ADP Run to ADP Total Source, ADP claims that they can't help us. We have repeatedly asked ADP for assistance in this regard with no clear answer. ADPs lack of response and support is at a minimum unprofessional. We seek explanation of each transaction to and from our account by ADP Run immediately.Business Response

Worst customer support of any HRIS system around. We have over 500 employees and were sold on the Comprehensive services package of ADP moving over from isolved. It takes weeks to get payroll related issues resolved and that only happens with hours of sitting on hold trying to get someone on the phone who knows what they are doing. They regularly break the labor laws which we as administrators then have to run in circles trying to fix or pay additionally out of pocket for to be compliant. I would not reccomend anyone going to this service.Business Response

I have worked for Work Market Talent for 8 years. The contract work for services is for other vendors on the platform. All work orders have terms for approval time after the work is done. I have completed work under the agreement of 7 day terms as listed on the order. The vendor refuses to honor 7 day terms stating that there policy is 36 -45 days and then 7 days after this. It is not plainly stated on the work order and Work market platform supervisor always take the side of the Vendor. All the technicians are complaining because of deceitful practices. Techs have to spend time and money to do these jobs and then always holding up money for the jobs. We need an advocate because working day to day is costly and these foreign companies are giving work and then closing down or changing their name in order to not p a y us. Please look into these guys.Business Response

We are in receipt of the escalation submitted to the Better Business Bureau by ***** ***** and appreciate the Better Business Bureau for forwarding the same to Automatic Data Processing, **** (ADP). By way of background, ADPs WorkMarket platform is a self-service tool that independent contractors such as Mr. ***** can find and complete work with a variety of clients. The independent contractors that are paid through the WorkMarket platform are solely independent contractors of the client and are paid at the direction of the client.
WorkMarket is a platform to connect independent workers and clients, and any agreements made between the client and independent contractor are at the discretion of the two parties. The platform provides independent contractors visibility into the approval times of the client and client payment terms must be accepted prior to taking on an assignment. The client Mr. ***** has taken issue with in his Better Business Bureau complaint has a 7-day payment term whereby the payment is due 7 days from the client approving the completed assignment. These payment terms were accepted by Mr. ***** when he accepted the assignment. Whether and when an assignment is approved is completely controlled by the client and WorkMarket is in no way involved in the same. Indeed, the approval of an assignment is at the sole discretion of the client and is generally based on their requirements to confirm the work has been completed.
As of today, the assignment is pending approval from the client and is within their average approval period an average approval period that Mr. ***** had visibility into at the time he accepted the assignment. We would encourage Mr. ***** to engage with the company directly should he have any concerns.Initial Complaint

In response to BBB Complaint
ID 23494431:
Preston Aguilar’s complaint expresses
concerns about the holiday of Juneteenth and its effect on his pay. As a reminder, Juneteenth is a federal
holiday and as such, the central bank that regulates the US financial system is
closed. Mr. Aguilar should connect with his employer to confirm the timing of his
pay, as it would be dictated by when his employer processed payroll with ADP. Mr. Aguilar’s employer can certainly call
upon their ADP Service team should they need any assistance in helping Mr.
Aguilar with this inquiry and if they have any concerns. However, as Mr. Aguilar is not a client, but
rather an employee of an ADP client, we are unable to assist with his inquiry
directly.
Thank you,

I have received multiple letters from the *** and Florida Depart of Revenue due to missing filings from this payroll company. I cannot get anyone to take responsibility and assist me in them RESPONDING to the IRS/FDR. They are the only ones in a position to answer those questions and rectify this situation! What to do?They are not reachable on the phone...There are coma holds, being transferred from one person to the next, and then ultimately either I have to hang up so I can do my real job, or I get disconnected....Business Response

I am a small business that was approached by ADP sales *** ******** ********* to sign up for payroll. I switched services from ******* to ADP. I was promised by email that I would receive 6 free months for payroll when receiving the contract it is only showing 4 months. I was then told if I referred a business and they signed up for payroll services I would receive $500.00 referral fee. This has never happened. I have for weeks tried to reach out to my sales **** the company and her boss but no one has resolved my issues. No one will call me back and help me as I have spent countless hours calling them to only get a customer ********************** *** tell me they cannot help me, only my sales ***. I also signed up for Time recording, another product I bought into and they will not send me my contract legibly to be able to see what I am paying and what FREE months I was promised. This company cannot treat their customers in this way. I am a ********************************************* owner and my time is just as valuable. If you have a sales *** they should respond in a timely manner. Last correspondence by email was June 10th and now nothing. The name of the sales *** is ******** ********* in ********** CA ************.Business Response

I was employed by *************** until June of 2024 when the company went out of business. ADP is the record keeper for the company's 401k. Ever since last June, I have been trying to get my 401k funds released to me. ADP continues to tell me that it is the employer's responsibility to "terminate" my employment in order for them to release the funds. Since the company went out of business, I have no way to ensure that this gets done. I have been calling ADP weekly, and they are doing nothing to help.Business Response

sorry to hear that Ms. Berstein’s experience was less than stellar as we value
our clients and try to work with them in good faith to provide the best

On June 23, our senior associate, Marcel C., connected
with Ms. Berstein by phone to address her concern regarding the closure of her
401(k). Marcel C. was able to inform Ms. Berstein about ADP’s procedure
for managing accounts that meet the criteria for an abandoned plan and
addressed her concerns accordingly.
The matter has been resolved, and Ms. Berstein has been
provided with the next steps.

Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID 23481363, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me AT THIS TIME. I am assuming that I will continue to be updated by ADP. It was nice to finally have someone at ADP take ownership of my issue and respond to me rather than giving me the same excuse and telling me to "wait". Marcel did explain the situation to me fully, and I now understand what the outstanding issues are. Thank you so much for your assistance. I will say that although Marcel did call me and did explain the difficulty on ADP's end, it should not have come to this - I should not have been forced to complain to the BBB! ADP needs to spend more time and money on training its employees to go a step further and to find answers to questions instead of just reading the script. Thank you.

ADP set up a wage garnishment deduction for one of my employees. The garnishment for this employee ended, which I confirmed with the company that was requesting the garnishment (Lendmark). Despite this, ADP continued to withdraw money from my bank account for the employee's garnishment. When I called, they admitted to their mistake and stated it would take 3-5 business days to refund me the erroneous deduction they made. This was over two weeks ago and I am still waiting for my account to be refunded. I have reached out to ADP multiple times with no response.Business Response

Thank you for providing ADP the opportunity to respond to this complaint. ADP prides itself on excellent client service and we were sorry to hear that the experience of Ms. Alya Elsayed-Ali was not satisfactory. Upon receipt of this complaint, ADP reviewed the circumstances surrounding the issue related to the garnishment deduction.
ADP assisted in setting up a garnishment deduction for one of the employees and confirmed to the client that once the goal amount was met the garnishment deduction would stop automatically. The garnishment goal amount was not yet met by the employee and therefore ADP continued to deduct the amount in question from the employee for an additional check date.
ADP has communicated with Ms. Elsayed-Ali and we have reached what we believe is a mutually satisfactory agreement regarding the issue.
We hope this provides clarification and that the complaint is deemed resolved.
