Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why

This integrates with ADP Payroll and 401K plan. We are easily able to monitor the contributions, and withdrawals made for the health module. All is able to be seen and reviewed on the one website. It also allows client access so employees can monitor their situation.
An issue is the need to be serviced by separate teams on these issues. We generally need to initiate and follow up on all directions that use multiple plans.
  • Employee information is generally available.
  • The compliance manuals are posted for HR.
  • We can monitor expenses with payroll deductions.
  • Better communication between departments.
  • Compliance update alerts to HR would be helpful if affecting current employees.
  • Chat help is good but could use AI upgrades
This is important for small business start ups that need to implement this with their HR. The compliance with the ACA is necessary to reduce risk and fines for all.
I don't see where there would be times when it is less appropriate unless there are multiple states involved and not all of the monitoring capabilities are possible.

Our company uses ADP Health Compliance as an add-on to WFN and the Benefits module. It is very helpful to have all three components working together to streamline processes and ensure accuracy in data collection. I would definitely recommend Health Compliance if you are already using ADP Workforce Now and the benefits module.
  • Tracks ACA eligibility.
  • Prepares the IRS 1095-C and 1094-C.
  • Distributes/transmits the IRS 1095-C and 1094-C.
  • Monthly error/compliance notifications would be great.
It helps take the guesswork out of ACA compliance.

ADP Health Compliance helps with ACA Compliance for our organization. It pulls the data from the main ADP portal, which houses our data.
  • ACA Compliance
  • Connects with Workday
  • It could be easier to use
ADP overall is too big so getting specific answers about ADP Health Compliance can be difficult.

We use ADP Health Compliance for the obvious reasons, managing ACA and benefit edibility. The dashboards make it very easy to see what needs to be updated and where corrections need to be made. Filing our 1095s and 1094s this year was simple and straightforward. ADP Health Compliance gives us the confidence that our data is reported correctly.
  • Calculate eligibility and measurement periods.
  • Transmit, print and mail 1095 and 1094 data.
  • Easily determine who is newly eligible.
  • Overly complicated. There are three things I need to know about ACA; 1) who is eligible at the end of an initial measurement period, 2) who is eligible at open enrollment, 3) who needs a 1095 at the end of the year.
  • The whole "approval" process is confusing and pretty pointless, just show me #1 above.
  • A lack of user guides and job aids. The main guide focuses on logging in to the system and the approval process.
  • There is no easy way to update eligibility and assign workflows in WFN, and ADP Health Compliance does not have a way to update WFN based on the eligibility results.
If data is in good shape, ADP Health Compliance works great. If not, there are hours of corrections that need to be done. Once data is in the system, it is easy to look up employees by name, or look at an entire company. The employee data is fairly easy to read and shows eligibility calculations for all measurement periods.

ACA Reporting Made Painless

We picked up the module when the ACA reporting first became available, in 2017. As we had used ADP for our payroll since we began (in 2008) and had integrated the benefits module around the same time, it was easy to implement.

The 1095C process has been relatively painless for us, as the data feeds to the ACA reporting system automatically. Reminders of due dates and IRS submission updates happen automatically. The support has also been very helpful, as we always have a few employees whose information needs to be entered manually. Overall, we are pleased with the convenience and ease the system offers.
  • Reporting
  • Tracking status
  • Reminders of IRS deadlines
  • the dashboard could be a bit more user-friendly
  • there is a link to categories for 1095C reporting that would nice to have directly linked
  • ACA data can be confusing to interpret as shown in compliance dashboard
It's great that we can partner with ADP to make the ACA reporting less work, as end-of-year is already such a busy time in the HR world. Aside from a few manual updates, the process goes pretty smoothly and is one less task we need to spend our time doing.

ADP Health Compliance helps us stay up to date on new laws and makes us comfortable that we are following ACA correctly. We went from spending weeks completing yearly 1095 forms to less than a day. Our monthly calls throughout the year ensure that we do not have to spend a lot of time at year end.
  • Monthly calls with dedicated advisor
  • Knowledge on difficult code combinations on 1095s
  • Mailing and submitting to IRS all 1095s
  • Online portal looks dated
There is no reason that I wouldn't recommend this product. It is well worth the cost just from the time we as a company have saved on ACA tasks and we feel absolutely confident that ADP Health Compliance is doing their best to minimize penalties for our company. They are very knowledgeable and always available for questions as well.

Our organization uses health compliance to manage our ACA filings. It's a function that our human resources team uses. It helps us to manage all of the changing laws as they apply to the ACA.
  • It helps manage the 1095s & 1094 filings
  • It help track hours for employees so we know when employees are eligible for benefits
  • It's easy to use
  • Some of the screens are hard to understand
  • It's hard to maneuver between the screens
I think it's great for companies who have a lot of employees they have to manage.

Currently, the ADP Health Compliance Platform is managed by 3 people in HR. The tool has really come such a long way from what it was. Every month, it monitors our associates hours and presents us with eligibility approval options. We also have biweekly/monthly calls with our awesome ADP Health Compliance Manager, Regina. Being an employer with variable hour associates is challenging. The tool helps us measure associates hours to make sure that we are offering coverage to associates who deserve it. The system is complex and I'm always learning new things about it.
  • Powerful reporting
  • Easy to utilize
  • great partnership with account manager
  • While the system is easy to navigate - the tool is actually very complex and difficult to understand.
ADP Health Compliance is useful for employers to stay compliant with ACA Rules & Regs. I think it would be impossible to manage as a large employer without it. The tool gives us specific action items and employees to review. This helps reduce the mindless navigation to get to important areas. It also outlines potential penalty exposure and other "needs attention" items that are critical to know.

All health enrollments are now processed and tracked in ADP SmartCompliance Health Compliance. The employee logs in to enroll in or decline coverage. It helped solve getting enrollment information to the employees.
  • Easier for an employee to enroll. The employees' basic information is already in the system so they don't have to fill out all that information.
  • Employees can log in and see what coverage they elected for the year, which they couldn't do before.
  • The ability to electronically sign certain forms, like the Ltd and Std form without having to print, sign, scan, and upload the form. Not everyone has access to a scanner to upload the form.
It makes doing the year-end ACA filings a lot easier since it tracks the information for the reports. It also creates the files to submit at the end of the year. It would help if it gave better/more descriptive reasons as to why some of the files were rejected.

We use ADP Health Compliance in our department to ensure compliance with ACA health care reporting requirement. It helps us ensure we meet the government requirements and ensures we have no errors in reporting information when we send the 1095-C form to employees and the 1095 to the IRS. The tools help us identify errors in data as well as the ability to make corrections as needed.
  • The ability to breakdown the data into segments allows us to zero in on errors or problems that we can focus on in order to correct those issues.
  • The information is presented in an easy to understand interface which is very user-friendly and very intuitive. I have used the interface in the past to change data or approvals of forms. It was something I could figure out on my own due to it being so easy to navigate.
  • ADP Compliance is very good at pulling in the data and identifying issues and presenting it in method that is easy to work off of. We have many employees and the files we sent over were uploaded and processed. The errors were quickly identified so we could focus on correcting the problem employees.
  • I would love to see a more robust testing environment after the data has been uploaded. For example, different life events to ensure they are appearing on the 1095's as they should. If the data is going across correctly that seems to be the end point of testing. I identified a few concerns and had them corrected but I wish they had done some more checks after the data had come over in reference to changes.
For my particular use I would say the analyzing of data and identifying issues with employee data is very robust. The ability to identify and point out segments of data that may be incorrect is great. We use ADP to ensure that the data being listed on our 1095 is accurate. We also use them to ensure we are in compliance with our Safe Harbor testing and requirements.
