  • Wage Garnishments: Processing of liens, garnishments of disbursement payments; automated notifications to courts, agencies & employees; and facilitating calls with employees, beneficiaries, custodial parents, attorneys & applicable agencies.
  • Tax Credits: Identity, capture and apply federal, state and local tax credits and incentives for organizations of all sizes.
  • Wage Payments: Electronic tracking and payment options designed to be flexible and to meet the demands of the modern workforce.
  • Employment Verification: Provide credentialed verifiers with secure and automated access to employment, identity and income verifications.
  • Health Compliance: Proactive and unlimited visibility in employer data and business practices to address employer mandates for ACA IRS and applicable state heath coverage and reporting requirements.
  • Unemployment Claims: Managed unemployment claims, insurance and appeals with the assistance of ADP unemployment claims technology, analytics and dedicated professionals.

We have been able to use ADP SmartCompliance as a center focus for numerous functions for our company. It has been great to have one company that can handle a multitude of capabilities from our Payroll taxes, garnishments, pay cards, final pays, and pay method transactions. It definitely has saved time and helped us be proactive instead of reactive as a company.

We use ADP SmartCompliance to manage our withholding and sui taxes. It helps us manage the tax process efficiently and meet tax deadlines. The managed exceptions are very helpful in identifying issues that need to be corrected. Many good reports look at the data from many different views. ADP Smart Compliance has made the quarter end and year end much less time-consuming.

We use SmartComplinace to stay on top of all ever changing tax accounts from all the states. Between 5 different companies, the data is easy to find, sort and resolve. I love uploading agency notices and get a feedback from the customer service to quickly troubleshoot any issues. Reporting is also extremely streamlined. SOD are easily accessible and you dont need to search through all paper copy to find needed state data.
Most of the time i am very please with the support, especially from my account manager.

However when she is not available, whoever random person picks up could be a great experience or pretty bad. It is not consistent.

I have used ADP for 20+ years. We use ADP SmartCompliance to manage our state tax notices. Its a great place to organize and see the status of my notices. I can quickly upload a tax notice to the portal and get updates on the status of the notice. I can also view the status of amendments and look up invoices.
We only use it for taxes, but it works well for this purpose.

Currently I use SmartCompliance to update our SUI rates to ensure ADP is in line with the notices we receive from tax authorities. I am able to set up new tax authorities when needed and maintain our tax profiles, but one of my favorite features is being able to pull down any of our tax records if I am notifed of an issue of what wa reported or confirm a fiing has occured. Not only does SmartCompliance provide different reporting capabilities, you have the ability to access invoices and check on funding, load agency notices for research, but we also use it for Garnishments. As SmartCompliance has evolved, I've noticed that I use it so much more for tax research and balancing. It has really become a regular tool for me.
I don't beleive I have ever had to call support

ADP SmartCompliance is the a great tool that I use daily in my role as Payroll Supervisor. I use it to review direct deposit errors, tax agency notices that need to be resolved and invoice management. The site is easy to navigate. I would highly recommend.

We currently use Employment Tax to help us with all our tax needs. We also use Wage Garnishments. I have used ADP on a previous job and when starting this job recommended, we go with ADP to help simplify all of our tax needs.
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.
