ADP TotalSource is a Professional Employer Organization (PEO) service that provides small and medium-sized businesses with payroll, human resources management, employee benefits administration, and compliance assistance. The cloud-based software integrates these functions within a single platform to streamline operations. The platform offers features such as tax filing services, workers' compensation management, risk management support, 401(k) retirement plans administration, and access to HR professionals for guidance on employment-related issues. ADP TotalSource aims to help companies address complex HR challenges efficiently by assigning some employer responsibilities to the PEO — freeing up time for business owners to focus on core activities while enhancing their overall ability to attract and retain talent through competitive benefits offerings without needing the infrastructure of a large corporation.
