About ADP
ADP is one of the world's largest HR and payroll providers, serving over 1.1 million businesses across 140+ countries. Its flagship Canadian product, ADP Workforce Now, covers payroll, benefits, talent management, and — through its recently added WorkForce Suite — scheduling and time tracking. ADP is a trusted, category-leading platform for businesses of all kinds.
But “all kinds” is exactly the issue for healthcare operators.
ADP's scheduling capability was built for generic shift-based work. It doesn't speak the language of healthcare: PSW rotations, union seniority rules, ministry compliance reporting, credential expiry tracking, or resident-centred care ratios. Healthcare is one of dozens of verticals ADP serves — and it shows.

Why Healthcare Organizations Choose GoEasyCare Over ADP
“We looked at ADP, but the scheduling piece just wasn't there for us. GoEasyCare understood our LTC environment right away — the scheduling, the payroll, the compliance — it was all in one place and it actually worked the way our facility works.”
— Director of Operations, [Client Facility Name], Ontario
