What you can do
Read and sync employee records
Pull active and terminated employee records with hire date, department, job title, cost number, and manager. Keep your HR analytics or workforce-management product in sync with the customer's current headcount.
Access payroll data
Read pay period results, earnings types, deduction codes, and year-to-date totals. Useful for financial-planning products that need to pull payroll costs into budget models.
Sync organizational structure
Read company codes, departments, job classifications, and location codes. Askel normalizes ADP's organizational hierarchy so your product can display the correct org structure without understanding ADP's code tables.
Read time and attendance data
Pull time entry records, approved timesheets, and overtime hours by employee and pay period. Useful for workforce-analytics or job-costing products that need to allocate labor costs.
Access benefits enrollment data
Read employee benefits elections, enrollment dates, and plan details. Useful for benefits-administration products that need to confirm coverage is active or check enrollment windows.
Read compliance and I-9 status
Pull I-9 completion status and work authorization data for compliance-monitoring products. Askel handles ADP's multi-company model so your product sees the correct compliance status by company code.
Feeding ADP payroll data into a financial-planning and analysis platform
Hartwell Facilities Services runs payroll for 1,800 employees across six divisions in ADP Workforce Now. They use your FP&A platform to build monthly labor-cost forecasts and variance reports. The platform needs current payroll actuals from ADP to compare against budget and project year-end cost run rates.
- 1
Register Askel in ADP Marketplace
Hartwell's ADP administrator logs into the ADP Marketplace, finds the Askel application listing, and initiates the registration process. ADP's team provisions the OAuth credentials for the Hartwell organization and returns a client ID and client secret to Hartwell's admin.
- 2
Complete the OAuth consent flow
Hartwell's admin returns to Askel's setup screen in your FP&A platform and enters the client ID, client secret, and their ADP organization identifier. Askel initiates the ADP OAuth consent flow. Hartwell's admin approves the data access scopes (Payroll, HR, Organization) in the ADP consent screen.

Schema discovery
Askel reads the ADP API resources the OAuth client can access and identifies the Worker, PayStatement, OrgUnit, and TimecardSummary objects. Hartwell's custom department codes and cost numbers appear alongside standard fields in the mapping draft.
- 4
Map and validate
Hartwell allocates payroll costs to a custom ADP cost number that maps to their FP&A platform's cost center hierarchy. A CS rep maps the ADP cost number field to the platform's cost center dimension and runs a dry-run against the prior three months of payroll data to validate the cost roll-ups.
- 5
Go live
The monthly payroll pull is enabled. After each ADP payroll run, Askel fetches the finalized pay statements and loads labor costs into the FP&A platform. Hartwell's finance team sees actuals versus budget comparisons updated the day after payroll closes.
Service account
The customer's ADP administrator registers the Askel application in ADP Marketplace, which provisions OAuth credentials for their organization. The admin provides the client ID, client secret, and ADP organization identifier to Askel, then completes an ADP OAuth consent screen to grant data access scopes. Askel handles token exchange and refresh automatically from that point on.
