ADP - How it all began...
In 1949, a 21-year-old named Henry Taub happened upon an office in crisis. The clerk was out sick, and people hadn’t been paid. Employees were furious. The boss had put aside his work and was scrambling around in a panic, trying to figure out what to do. An entire workday was lost.
Henry thought of a way he could help. He started what became Automatic Data Processing in a room above Grinker’s Ice Cream Shop, with nothing more than an Underwood bookkeeping machine, a few Friden calculators, and an Addressograph to print cheques. Every week, Henry took a city bus to deliver the finished payroll to his first client by hand.
