How much does it cost?
ADP assesses the following fees for this integration, in addition to the regular subscription costs for Sling:
$0.25/user for the Free subscription
$0.50/user for the Premium subscription
$0.75/user for the Business subscription
The payment for the fees noted above is processed by ADP and not by Sling.
After connecting your ADP account, employees will be synced from ADP to Sling. If you already have employees on your Sling account, it will look for matching email addresses to prevent duplicates.

How to export payroll information from Sling to ADP
In order to export payroll information from Sling to ADP, you will need to push your employees' hours through the Sling payroll report:
Click Reports in the navigation header.
Click Payroll
Set the date range to Payroll
Click on the Export button and select “Export to ADP”.
Your Timesheets will now appear in the Run Payroll section of your ADP account.
You can export as many times as you want – each export overrides the last one, so if you make a mistake or add a Timecard late, you can export again.
We only export data for hourly employees.
FAQs
