EPS Questions & Answers

Recipients requiring Employer Id. registration (when ADP paying as a 3rd party on your behalf)
Please note:
ADP has been granted an Australian financial service licence (AFSL No.312078). Our AFSL obligations require us to conduct Anti-Money Laundering / Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) checks on new EPS clients and Self-Managed Superannuation Funds.
When it has been established that you intend proceeding with an EPS implementation, we will determine your business category (for example, Australian Company, Sole trader, Trust, Partnership) to understand the relevant AML/CTF check to be undertaken. At that time we will forward the appropriate forms for completion. This will also apply for any employee self-managed superannuation funds to be established for payment via EPS.
Please complete the mandatory and relevant optional forms and you are on the way to becoming a valued ADP EPS client.
Return the relevant forms by post, fax or email.
