Straight questions.
Straight answers.
What does ATR’s lifetime price lock mean?
ATR locks your rate for the life of the account. Ask your ATR contact to include the covered services and price-lock terms in your written proposal so you can compare the same scope against your current provider.
Does ADP offer live customer support?
Yes. RUN advertises 24/7 payroll support by phone and online chat. ATR’s distinction is its assigned-contact model: people you can reach directly by phone, text, and email. See ADP’s RUN package details.
Can ATR work with our existing systems?
ATR offers full open API access and custom integration development. Bring your systems, data needs, and workflow requirements to the conversation so ATR can define the access, development scope, cost, and timing for your project.
What should I bring to an ATR comparison?
Bring your current payroll service list, a recent invoice, employee count, pay frequency, and the issues you want solved. Include any reporting or integration requirements. ATR can build a proposal around that scope so you can compare the full service and cost.
