ADP — Automatic Data Processing, Inc.

Permissible business; briefly holds client funds, a minor recurring consideration.

Why?

ADP's core payroll and HR services business is permissible. It briefly holds client payroll funds before disbursement and earns some interest on that float, a minor and largely immaterial consideration for most screening methodologies.

How this was screened

Primary basis: Financial-ratio screen.

References

• Screened against commonly applied Islamic finance criteria (business-activity exclusions plus AAOIFI-influenced financial ratio thresholds); exact methodology varies by provider (e.g. AAOIFI, S&P/Dow Jones Islamic Market, MSCI Islamic).
