The online payroll service, Run Powered by ADP, is now available for the Android smartphone operating platform. Run clients can download the free mobile app for managing and processing payroll for employees and contractors through the mobile device. The payroll service was made available on the iPhone, iPad and iPod last fall with support for Blackberrys soon to be available.

Automatic Data Processing says research shows the Android platform has 31.2 percent of the American market. The survey also showed that 90 percent of small businesses spend at least some time out of the office, averaging nine hours out of a 40-hour work week, with a third reporting that the time out of the office is increasing.

Besides entering and reviewing payroll information via the remote devices, employers can pay via check or direct deposits and calculate earnings and deductions, as well as all levels of taxes. Hours and earnings can be reviewed and the payroll liability and cash required can be previewed with the ability to confirm funds to be withdrawn.
