If you fit "inside the box" of most standard companies with few special circumstances, Employment Tax might be for you. I am under the impression that most companies trust ADP and do not validate to the extent we have, so there might be a fit for companies with large numbers of jurisdictions and FEINs who can write off problems or discrepancies that can't be easily found. They can handle well IRS forms 941, 943, 945, 1099-R, 1099-NEC, and I believe 1099-MISC, but the output is only as good as what you send them, because once it is sent, you can't change it except through an amendment, which won't happen for a few weeks after the original is sent. They handle W-2's and W-2c's quite well and we really like their W-2c Manager portal. W-2s are uploaded to ADP SmartCompliance's portal for employees to download and employees can usually connect their tax preparation software to ADP SmartCompliance directly and simply. Employment Verification likely can assist most companies and their situations. On the other hand, if you have special circumstances with your organization that are outside the box or are treated unusually for tax purposes that require manual review before sending, it may not fit your needs.

I would tell them that it manually syncs to ERPS. Additionally I would include the fact that you can pay multiple entities in one pay run allowing to be very efficient. I would also include that they can add rules to bill approvals or set up auto payments for certain vendors. Lastly, there are many reports you can run providing you will very informational data in seconds.

Invoicing is so cumbersome. There are several interim invoices listed without an easily identifiable status. The invoice amounts don't always match the amounts debited from our bank account. It's extremely hard to get answers related to the discrepancies. Our service rep has never fully explained an out-of-balance. When this happens, the variance is usually corrected on one or two subsequent debits. Our finance team is frustrated because we can't explain the variances.
Employment tax amendments are never timely. It has taken up to six months to correct errors the ADP tax team made. Tax agencies always charge us misfiling or late fees. Our bank account was garnished once due to an ADP error. When we finally filed the amendment three months later, the agency refunded part of the garnishment. However, this incident cost us $4,000+.
Why aren't all of the net payments available in Payment Solutions? We've had many times when we tried to check the status of a check or direct deposit and got a "can't find" error message.
If the garnishment is straightforward, then the service is great. However, if the garnishment or order requires even a minor review, the process is delayed or handled incorrectly.
It is ridiculously difficult to find a specific employment tax amendment. There should be easier ways to search than using the amendment number or scrolling through and hoping you've found the exact filing date.

The report that provides the "Not payable" vendors does not work well for us, particularly because the sync to our ERP goes both ways, which means all of the employees also sync over to Tipalti and remain as Not Payable. So the list is very long, and I don't find a good use for it.
ADP displays value continuously by automating compliance processes, reducing risk, and saving time. It ensures that tax filings are accurate, efficient notice management, and seamless integration with payroll systems, which minimizes penalties and manual work. The platforms reliability and strong support make it essential for maintaining compliance within our company and department

Solid system performance. Suits our needs and solution provider very inclined to accept feedback and involve users in developing the solution to serve both the provider and the ultimate user. Tipalti has streamlined our process that was previously very manual and prone to error. Now there is transparency of information and role.

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.
Two-time Tipalti selector, implementor, and user. The payment features in the app saves many steps in the payment process. No longer do you have to set-up or upload payment information to your bank and then go back to your accounting system and mark items as paid. Tipalti does all of this with a click of a mouse. The payment feature is the stand out feature. Many vendors can process your invoices. Look at how at the payment process of others.....you will see.

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.

Since I also work in customer support, I often have to contact Tipalti's team with questions from our users. Tipalti's support team has always been exceptionally helpful and it was a pleasure to communicate with them. I have always received prompt responses to any inquiries and they are excellent at solving our customers' issues within a short time

Exceptional Training Services Received during and after our Build . The teams of ADP Professionals assisted on a daily basis with tight deadlines and testing, each day , each Qtr. and annual processes including setting up local and State agencies for the 50 State we are reporting since our Workday go live 4/1/23. The process was seamless.

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.

I believe it was price that drove us to ADP SmartCompliance. But, as stated before, ADP SmartCompliance sweeps our system and gathers information needed. We do not have to log into a separate entity and inform the company that payroll has been settled. Garnishments have been especially time-saving. With OSV we had to submit each garnishment in it's own ticket. This meant separating bulk mail into 50 different garnishments. ADP SmartCompliance allows us to submit them all at once using a page separator. This saves our team a lot of time.

From initial implementation through to user experience, Tipalti has been able to exceed our expectations in terms of its functionality and useability. We have found with other systems implemented in the past they did not match our expectations which resulted in us terminating these services.

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.

Vendor onboarding has taken the responsibility from one person to the Vendor directly. This provides the vendor with the ability to enter their own banking information for payments and upload their Federal W9 form.
Vendors can upload their own invoices to the system, taking the possibility that our AP team did not receive an emailed or mailed invoice to upload. This also increases payment efficiency as the vendor's invoice is processed in a more timely manner.
AP can review invoices for accuracy and concentrate on how to code an invoice, rather than be a paper pusher or a data entry clerk. AP doesn't spend time searching for invoices that might be a duplicate, the system will communicate this on the software review process and if AP has uploaded by email the same invoice multiple times, an email will be sent to AP to indicate that the invoice was not uploaded due to duplication.
