What it stands on, and what could break it
What the business leans on
- 1ADP depends on the accuracy, security and availability of systems holding sensitive employee, payroll and client information.
- 2Some revenue depends on interest earned on client funds held before payment; that income varies with interest rates and client fund balances.
- 3The PEO business depends on managing workers’ compensation claims and the cost of employee benefits and insurance.
- 4Payroll, tax, benefits and employment services depend on complying with rules that vary across countries, states and local jurisdictions.
What could go wrong
- 1A breach of employee or client data, or misuse of client funds, could disrupt operations, expose confidential information and damage client trust.
- 2An outage or disruption affecting ADP’s systems, data centers or cloud-computing services could interfere with payroll and other time-sensitive services.
- 3Changes to privacy, artificial-intelligence, payroll, tax or employment rules could require costly changes to ADP’s services or affect its ability to operate.
