ADP runs payroll. Untether runs the clinical schedule.
Comparison
ADP runs payroll. Untether runs the clinical schedule.
ADP is one of the largest horizontal payroll and HR providers in the world. Its workforce management covers time, attendance, and shift scheduling for general hourly workforces across every industry.
Horizontal and payroll-first
ADP excels at payroll, tax, and HR administration. Its scheduling is built for general shift work — not license- and credential-aware clinical scheduling, on-call coverage, or patient-demand forecasting.
Healthcare-specific by design
Untether models the clinical workforce natively: licenses, credentials, skills, and regions across FTE, part-time, contractor, and agency staff — with AI auto-scheduling to patient SLAs.
Works with your payroll
Untether runs scheduling and operations and submits to payroll, integrating with ADP and other systems rather than replacing your system of record.
FAQ
Is Untether an alternative to ADP for scheduling?
For clinical scheduling, yes. Untether handles license- and credential-aware scheduling, on-call, and patient-demand forecasting that ADP's general shift scheduling doesn't.
Does Untether replace ADP payroll?
No. Untether integrates with ADP as a system of record — automating scheduling, time, and time off and submitting to payroll.
Why use Untether alongside ADP?
Keep ADP for payroll and HR administration; add Untether for AI-first clinical scheduling and operations that ADP wasn't built to handle.
