Data processor adding 1,000 jobs in Augusta Georgia

Data processor adding 1,000 jobs in Augusta
A global provider of personnel services is expanding its presence in Georgia with a $30 million Augusta facility that will employ 1,000 workers. Automatic Data Processing, which handles payroll, administers benefits and conducts background checks for companies, will begin operations at a temporary facility by March, with about a quarter of the work force. Construction will start on the 150,000-square-foot business solutions center in late 2007. The plant will have a variety of positions that will pay between $25,000 and $65,000 a year. Hiring and training for those jobs will begin early next year. ADP began its search for a location earlier this year and zeroed in on Augusta because of its "community spirit and quality of life," company officials said at the announcement in Augusta this morning.
