What to Watch For With a ADP TotalSource Renewal
- Service contract renewal dates and benefits plan year dates can be different — don't assume they're the same.
- Notice periods can be as long as 60 days in some agreements, which is longer than many competitors.
- Bundled payroll and PEO pricing can make it harder to isolate exactly what's driving a renewal increase.
How to Prepare for Your ADP TotalSource Renewal
- Confirm both your service contract renewal date and your benefits plan year date in writing — they often differ.
- Give notice early given the up-to-60-day requirement in some agreements.
- Ask for a line-item breakdown of what's changing in your renewal (admin fees vs. benefits costs vs. workers' comp).
Whether you decide to stay with ADP TotalSource or explore alternatives, an independent PEO comparison helps you renew from a position of leverage instead of default. If you do decide it's time to look elsewhere, our guide to switching PEO providers walks through the full transition timeline.
