SAN DIEGO, FEB 2013 – The American Association of Franchisees & Dealers (AAFD), a non-profit trade association that represents the interests of franchisees and independent dealers, announced today a partnership with human resource powerhouse ADP® to provide AAFD members with significantly reduced costs for ADP payroll services.

The AAFD Platinum Payroll^SM service, provided by ADP, will offer all existing AAFD members three different payroll package options at discounted pricing. In addition, active AAFD chapters will be eligible to earn incentive revenues when their members participate in the AAFD Platinum Payroll service.

“The AAFD is always looking for ways to bring more value to our members, and to make it easier for franchisees to succeed,” said Robert Purvin, founder and CEO of the AAFD. “We are proud to partner with a well-respected company like ADP to help our members save on payroll, and we believe that this new service will be a much-appreciated addition to our existing Branded Programs.”

“ADP strongly supports franchisees, and we are excited to be working with the AAFD and their membership,” said Ron Olewinski, District Manager of ADP. “ADP’s payroll services help AAFD members be able to keep a better handle on cash flow and feel confident in their payroll, tax and human resource compliance.”

The three discounted payroll options offered by ADP to AAFD members are the ADP Enhanced Payroll package, ADP Complete Payroll and HR package and the ADP Complete Payroll and HR Plus package.

The Platinum Payroll service will join a growing list of branded programs that the AAFD offers its membership, including its Franchisee LegaLine^SM network of qualified franchise attorneys, AAFD Meeting Call^SM, conference and webinar services, AAFD Payment Processing, AAFD Telecommunications,  and AAFD Health Benefits.
