Migrate from ADP Run to Rippling with clean payroll history, employee records, and benefit configurations transferred without gaps in compliance or pay.
The ADP Run to Rippling migration moves your payroll history, employee records, tax configurations, and benefit plan structures from ADP Run into Rippling's platform. thePeopleStack manages the data extraction from ADP Run, cleansing and mapping to Rippling's schema, and validation against your most recent payroll run before the cutover.
ADP Run is the SMB payroll product within the ADP family — distinct from ADP Workforce Now, which serves larger organizations. Companies migrating from ADP Run to Rippling typically do so to consolidate payroll, HR, and IT provisioning on a single platform rather than managing separate point solutions.
ADP Run migrations most commonly fail at the tax withholding level — specifically when mid-year migrations don't correctly transfer year-to-date federal and state tax withholding totals. If YTD figures aren't loaded into Rippling before the first payroll run, employees face over- or under-withholding for the remainder of the year. thePeopleStack's pre-cutover validation checklist catches this before go-live.
thePeopleStack runs a structured ADP Run migration engagement: data export and audit, field mapping to Rippling's employee and payroll schema, parallel payroll run validation, and go-live cutover with a defined rollback trigger. We handle the ADP Run final payroll coordination and Rippling first-payroll confirmation before closing the engagement.
ADP Run is a US payroll product. ADP Run migrations are fully US-focused engagements.
Canadian and cross-border operations: companies with Canadian employees alongside US ADP Run payroll require a separate Canadian payroll migration track. thePeopleStack handles both tracks in a single migration engagement when needed.
ADP Run is ADP's SMB payroll product, typically used by companies with under 50 employees. ADP Workforce Now is the mid-market platform with broader HR and benefits capabilities. Migration complexity and data structures differ between the two.
Employee records, payroll history, year-to-date tax withholding figures, direct deposit configurations, tax IDs, and benefit deduction structures are the core migration data sets.
A standard ADP Run to Rippling migration takes 4–8 weeks depending on the number of employees, the complexity of benefit plans, and whether a mid-year cutover is involved.
Year-end migrations are cleaner because YTD payroll figures reset at January 1, eliminating mid-year tax proration complexity. Mid-year migrations are possible and thePeopleStack handles them regularly, but they require additional YTD validation steps.
ADP Run is typically cancelled after the final payroll run and successful first Rippling payroll confirmation. thePeopleStack advises on the cancellation timing to avoid overlap charges.
