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).
