ADP Canada Expands in Dartmouth with 250 New Positions

ADP Canada Co., a leading provider of human resources, payroll and benefits solutions, plans to expand and add up to 250 new full-time jobs over five years in its Dartmouth, location.

The province, through Nova Scotia Business Inc. (NSBI), is supporting the expansion with a five-year payroll rebate for a maximum of $2.3 million that will support the company's growth as the demand for its services continues to grow.

"ADP is a well-respected employer, and we are proud to support the company's growth plans as part of the jobsHere plan to grow and strengthen the economy," said Percy Paris, Minister of Economic and Rural Development and Tourism.

ADP is providing stable, good-paying jobs servicing clients across Canada. Job opportunities will include positions such as senior analysts, payroll administration, and payroll specialist positions.

"Increasingly, organizations of all sizes are choosing ADP to provide payroll, human resources and benefits services and expertise so they in turn can focus on growing their business," said Cindy Jeffrey, vice president, Client Services, Employer Services division of ADP Canada. "As this demand continues to grow, so too does our presence in Nova Scotia."

ADP's commitment to employee development includes:

• a comprehensive 6-week training program
• professional development through a target of 40 hours per year for associate training
• up to $5,000 per year in tuition assistance to associates who wish to advance their education and develop their skills for their current or future position
• continued development through a personalized development plan specific to their career development goals

In 2006, ADP Canada opened its facility in Dartmouth. Presently, about 350 staff members work at the location.

"Jurisdictions around the world compete for the kind of growth ADP has chosen for its Nova Scotia operation, not once, but now twice," said Stephen Lund, president and CEO, Nova Scotia Business Inc. "Nova Scotia's advantages and the payroll rebate combine to make this a win for the province and the company."
