Get pay right with CompXL® on ADP Workforce Now® Next Generation

Bring structured compensation planning into ADP Workforce Now with CompXL^®.

Compensation cycles are high stakes. Budgets, eligibility rules, manager approvals, and multiple pay components can turn a straightforward plan into a spreadsheet-heavy process that is hard to track and even harder to audit.

Salary.com is expanding how we help organizations run compensation planning with confidence. CompXL^®, Salary.com’s compensation planning solution, is available through ADP Marketplace and integrates with the next generation of ADP Workforce Now to support single sign-on (SSO) and automated data feeds designed to reduce manual work and keep planning aligned with the employee and compensation data you already maintain in ADP^®.

What CompXL for ADP Workforce Now® Next Generation delivers

With the CompXL integration for ADP Workforce Now, organizations can streamline how workforce compensation data enters the planning process and reduce the manual steps that slow down cycles.

A simpler sign-in experience

Users can sign into CompXL through ADP Marketplace or from a quick link in ADP, supporting a smoother end-user experience and reducing login friction.

Automated data feeds, less manual prep

CompXL includes a data integration that pulls employee worker compensation data from ADP, helping reduce manual imports and repetitive admin work.

Clear, practical data coverage for comp planning

To support planning workflows, CompXL can read key data fields including:

• Basic worker demographics (name, hire date, work status)
• Job details and reporting hierarchy (job title, manager, reports-to)
• Base or primary pay (salary or wage)
• Other forms of compensation beyond base pay
• Pay range of the pay grade
• Custom fields as needed to support your planning process

This means compensation teams can begin planning with the context they need, without uploading employee data by hand.
