It’s not authentication. They are specifically requesting access to cellular information that my service provider can’t sell to them unless I give them authorization.

They want to make the excuse that these jobs are not designed to make people money. And yet when we talk about suppressing the power and ubiquity of corporate greed across America, and all of the economic harm that comes with it, all we hear is “but they create jobs!”

If the person does currently work with a company using ADP, it will work 100% of the time.

If the person USED to work for a company using ADP, it will work some of the time. I’m guessing it has to do with the particular ADP/subsidiary services used by the most recent employer. That’s just a guess.
