New MJSA Benefit Provides Access to Business Solutions and Low Cost Payroll Services

PROVIDENCE, RI– Using the collective purchasing power of its membership, Manufacturing Jewelers and Suppliers of America (MJSA) has entered into a partnership with Automatic Data Processing (ADP) to provide access to payroll services and outsourcing solutions. Through the new partnership, MJSA members who currently do not use ADP services can receive a 20 percent discount on payroll and tax filing services. In addition, participating members will receive their first month of payroll and tax filing services free, enjoy free direct deposit services for one year, and have access to ADP’s business outsourcing solutions.

“ For any business currently handling its own payroll or using another service, switching to ADP’s payroll and tax filing service will improve efficiency and reduce costs, relieving businesses of the time-consuming and difficult tasks inherent in payroll processing,” said MJSA President/CEO James F. Marquart. “The ability to offer such an important benefit proves that our members are in fact ‘Stronger Together.’”

In addition to being a leader in the payroll industry, servicing more than 30 million workers worldwide, ADP is a comprehensive single resource for numerous outsourcing solutions for businesses of all sizes. To increase business efficiency, ADP offers program participants pre-employment screening, new hire reporting, time and attendance services, 401(k) and simple IRA plans, human resource services, and benefits service.

With 46 process centers nationwide and 1,500 service associates, ADP provides its clients with a local presence.
