ADP(R), Employer Services (ES) division, a leading provider of integrated outsourced payroll and human resources services, today announced the introduction of ADP's Paperless Payroll Services for its payroll clients.

"By electing to incorporate ADP's Paperless Payroll Services, companies can now take advantage of a single, comprehensive, and flexible offering at a compelling value," said Jay C. Rising, President, ADP National Account Services.

As part of this offering, clients can also utilize "Going Paperless with ADP," an employee adoption program.

Employers also gain access to information on market trends, legal requirements, and resources, as well as marketing strategies and tactics to help drive employee enrollment.

"We recognize the importance of employee adoption to our client's ability to achieve the maximum benefits of a paperless environment," added Rising. "As part of our commitment to help our clients make this transition, we have created an employee adoption program that demonstrates the value of paperless pay in ways that will resonate with employees."
