Built for multi-location franchises running complex payroll across dozens or hundreds of sites.
For a single-location business, payroll is a manageable task. For a franchise brand operating across dozens or hundreds of locations, it becomes something else entirely: a recurring, high-stakes coordination problem involving multiple pay groups, blended compensation, varied earning codes, and a roster that changes constantly. The larger the organization, the more every manual step in payroll prep compounds into wasted hours and avoidable errors.
That is exactly the gap MyTime’s integration with ADP Workforce Now® Next Generation is built to close. MyTime captures the operational data your business generates every day — schedules, hours, commissions, and tips — and sends it directly into ADP Workforce Now for payroll processing. The result is a clean, governed data pipeline between daily operations and payday, designed for the scale and complexity that larger franchise organizations actually run on.
What Is ADP Workforce Now® Next Generation Built For?
ADP Workforce Now Next Generation is a comprehensive Human Capital Management (HCM) platform built for mid-market and larger organizations, typically those with 50 to 1,000+ employees. Unlike entry-level payroll tools designed for very small businesses, Workforce Now is engineered for companies with dedicated HR teams, complex labor structures, multi-state or multi-entity compliance needs, and sophisticated benefits and talent management requirements.
In practice, that makes Workforce Now the natural fit for the kind of brands MyTime serves best: growing franchise and multi-location operators in beauty, wellness, pet care, and related service verticals. These are organizations that have outgrown basic payroll and need infrastructure that can handle real organizational complexity without falling back on spreadsheets.
Why Do Large Franchises Need a More Robust Payroll Integration?
As a service brand scales, payroll stops being a back-office afterthought and becomes an operational risk. Each new location adds more employees, more pay groups, more earning types, and more opportunities for data to drift out of sync between the systems that run operations and the system that runs payroll.
The brands that scale successfully are the ones that standardize this process early. A robust integration matters at scale because:
- Volume multiplies small errors. A single mis-keyed rate is a minor fix at one location. Across a hundred locations every pay period, those small errors become a systemic cost in time, corrections, and staff trust.
- Compensation gets more complex. Hourly wages, service commissions, product commissions, cash tips, and non-cash tips all need to map correctly to the right earning codes — and larger organizations almost always run blended models across roles.
- Multiple pay groups and entities require precision. Workforce Now organizes payroll around payroll groups and company codes. A capable integration has to respect that structure so the right data reaches the right group automatically.
- Roster changes never stop. At scale there is always someone being hired, rehired, or terminated. Keeping operational records and payroll records aligned by hand is a losing game.
How Does the MyTime Integration for ADP Workforce Now Work?
The integration creates a direct connection between MyTime and ADP Workforce Now Next Generation, so the data your team captures during daily operations flows automatically into payroll.
MyTime’s ADP Workforce Now integration helps growing service brands streamline payroll by syncing employee hours, pay rates, tips, commissions, and overtime from MyTime into ADP.
Here is what that looks like in practice:
- You operate in MyTime as usual. Schedules, time tracking, commissions, and tips are managed exactly as your teams already manage them. The integration handles the data flow in the background.
- Payroll-ready data is sent automatically. Approved hours, regular and overtime, service and product commissions, and both cash and non-cash tips populate inside ADP Workforce Now, already formatted for processing.
- Earning types map to the right codes. During setup, your MyTime pay categories and roles are matched to the corresponding ADP earning codes and pay allocations, so each hour and dollar lands in the correct place for your specific payroll group.
- Staff records stay aligned. New hires created in MyTime start the onboarding process in ADP, pay rate changes carry through, and employment status stays consistent across both systems.
- You review and finalize in ADP. Payroll arrives formatted and ready. Your team reviews for accuracy just as they would on any run, then processes payment when ready.
The setup is guided and runs through the ADP Marketplace, so onboarding follows a clear, repeatable path without custom IT work — even though larger organizations will configure more detailed employee matching and code mapping to reflect their structure.
Does the Integration Support Blended Compensation and Tips?
Yes. Service franchises rarely pay everyone the same way, and the integration is built for that reality. MyTime captures hourly wages, service commissions, product commissions, and tips during normal operations and maps each one to the appropriate ADP earning code.
For tips specifically, the integration supports mapping separate earning codes for non-cash and cash tips, so both can be reported accurately rather than collapsed into a single line. For organizations with custom earning, commission, and tip codes set up in Workforce Now, those codes are pulled from ADP so you map to the exact categories your business uses.
How Does the Integration Handle Multiple Locations and Pay Groups?
This is where scale matters most. The integration is designed around the multi-location, multi-entity structures that larger franchises run. MyTime locations can be mapped to the correct ADP company codes and payroll groups, so hours and earnings export to the right place without anyone splitting data manually outside the system.
Because Workforce Now surfaces earning codes across all payroll groups, MyTime shows only the codes relevant to each company’s specific payroll group during configuration. That keeps setup clean and accurate even in organizations running many groups at once.
What Are the Benefits for Multi-Location Service Brands?
Connecting MyTime to ADP Workforce Now Next Generation delivers value that grows with the size of the organization:
- Reclaimed time every pay period. Eliminating manual exports and spreadsheet cleanup removes hours of recurring back-office work across the network.
- Fewer payroll errors. Automated, mapped data transfer cuts down the transcription and formatting mistakes that manual handoffs introduce.
- Consistency across every location. A standardized integration setup means every site follows the same governed payroll process, which is what makes accurate reporting and forecasting possible at scale.
- Headcount that scales gracefully. Back-office teams can manage far more locations and employees without the linear growth in manual data entry that usually comes with expansion.
- Confidence in the numbers. When data flows automatically from operations to payroll, staff trust their paychecks and leaders trust their labor reporting.
Who Should Use This Integration?
This integration is the right fit for established, growing service brands — franchise and multi-location operators in industries like salons, spas, pet grooming, wellness, and fitness — that run payroll through ADP Workforce Now Next Generation and want their operational data to flow into it automatically. If your organization manages blended compensation, multiple pay groups or entities, and a roster that changes constantly, this is infrastructure built for how you actually operate.
