    I believe for a large company with different entities, ADP SmartCompliance handles things well. Areas where there is room for improvement would be the ability to not rely on AI or automation. An example for us would be that we had an employee who lived in another country, was terminated, and had a tax levy from the state of California because they did earn income in the US too. ADP couldn't get it past their system to respond to the agency that this employee was terminated because their home address was not in the US. Instead of pulling it and having a human handle this, they kept trying to send it through their automated system. In order to protect the company, we had to manually complete the form and inform the agency that this employee was terminated. We spent almost 3 weeks waiting on ADP and the automated process, which felt unnecessary.

    Pros
    ADP
    No answers on this topic
    ADP
    • Wisely pay card management - it's so easy to view status by employee and keep track of funding.
    • Wage garnishments - easy to see all in one place and ADP pretty much handles all the rest!
    • Taxes - very easy to upload agency notices, setup new jurisdictions, and download the actual filings.

    Cons
    ADP
    No answers on this topic
    ADP
    • The reporting section could use some improvement as it's clunky and not easy to navigate
    • We have a garnishment section listed but we are not full service so that causes confusion. You should make sure to display only the services a client is registered to
    • I don't love that you have to go to a different section for amendments. When I want to review a state/jurisdiction I want to see history all in one place

    For the most part, one can get in and learn how to navigate the system by just clicking on one of the suject areas. If you have a good clientrepresentative, they will inform you of new features/functionality and give you a quick demo. This is helpful for one to go back in and navigate to learn how it works and usefulness.

    Availability is good, with only one or two instances of not being able to access the system at all which were quickly fixed. Some features do not work correctly from time to time, such as the "Help" function or the "Sync" function.

    If ADP is having issues, they communicate the problem within the solution once you log in. They also communicate that the issue will be fixed promptly. Reports run efficiently and in a reasonable amount of time. Also, the reports allow for various reporting types to be produced like a PDF or a Microsoft Excel file.

    As mentioned in the last comment, everyone and everything has been great. However sometimes you get one person that I feel can bring a score down and the current dedicated tax representative I have I do not feel is very supportive.

    Online training give us more flexible on timing. We always have a pack schedule and not able to attend training in person. Online training with recording is a good source for us especially we can review it again and again. The down side is we are unable ask question in person

    I wasn't too hands on with integration portion of this product so I can't completely give an honest answer to that. I have been told that the training improves alot for each individual as they go through the process and it improves success. These individuals are able to do alot more than me in regards to implementation.

    ADP SmartCompliance is the most complete automated solution for compliance, bar none. I have used many compliance software suites, and they fall short in different areas that ADP has honed in on and made their strength. Regulatory nightmares are a lot to untangle, but the efficacy of having so many documents within a few keystrokes makes all of the difference.

    ADP has the ability to scale across departments. This was found to be true when we rolled out the wage payment solution. ADP users are able to view their pay stubs on their phones and/or computers. This wage payment portal offers W2 storage and paystub storage for access at any time by an employee.
