We used it for whole organization. It solved the problem of compliance, reporting and payment. We are now up to date [on] state and local laws and avoiding possible penalties. We [were] processing these manually in-house prior to ADP SmartCompliance. Manual process took us a long time to complete the process like garnishments, updating tax rates and enrolling for payroll debit card.
  • Garnishment compliance.
  • Accurate tax reporting and payment.
  • Instant process of direct deposit card.
  • Uploading documents capabilities.
  • Easy reporting generation tools.
Cons
  • Auto generation of reports for sending to email.
  • Linking pay card request information to ADP Workforce Now to avoid duplication of information.
  • Faster responses to documents upload.
  • Notification email once garnishment setup is completed.
  • Notification email once garnishment completed its goal amount.
Having ADP SmartCompliance gives us peace of mind. We do not worry about tax filing, reporting and payment. Amendment to taxes is also handled on time.

With constant changes in garnishment laws and reporting, ADP SmartCompliance gives us assurance and peace of mind that we are always on top of the regulation changes.

ADP SmartCompliance products are a must have for large organizations working in multiple states.

I currently use ADP's products and have used ADP's products in past companies that I have worked for in the past 22 years. I have used ADP SmartCompliance for Taxes, Wage Payments and Wage Garnishments. It is a very user-friendly website. It has a lot of valuable information. ADP always tries to stay ahead of the new legislation that comes out often and sometimes on a daily basis. They update their software and communications to customers and offers training to gain knowledge of new products. ADP's products are a valuable asset for an organization.
  • Very user friendly! Easy to navigate & find information needed.
  • Stays ahead of new legislation.
  • Training available for new products & software.
Cons
  • When I offer feedback on website, I would like to get acknowledgement that they received it.
  • I would like to see email notification for certain important notices brought back.
  • Email notification needs to be used for acknowledgement of important notices.
ADP SmartCompliance is a valuable asset, especially for large organizations in multiple states.

We use SmartCompliance with managing tax credits and our Payroll Department also uses it with taxes. In regards to Tax Credits, we are able to address missing information or documents. We can upload these documents to ensure we have all the information we need to process any credits we may have. Before SmartCompliance, we would have to address these functions through paper forms and secured emails. It has made it easier to provide ADP required documents.
  • Updated notifications
  • You can easily navigate through the system
  • Reporting. ADP continuously provides new reports
  • Being able to upload required documents
  • Graphs and charts for reporting and presentation
Cons
  • Send notification to user email
SmartCompliance is well suited for my needs with upkeeping and tracking tax credits with how easy it is to navigate the system. It lets me know of any tasks that I need to complete, which is usually obtaining a document. Once I have the document, it's easily uploaded in SmartCompliance without having to send secured emails. I am able to retrieve multiple reports that I provide to my supervisors.
The only request I would have is to have email notifications send to me when there is a task to complete.

ADP SmartCompliance is used to facilitate remittance of returns and taxes to local, regional, and federal agencies in the United States. We also use it to facilitate payments to our employees via the Wage Payments feature. We use ADP SmartCompliance to remit our garnishments to their respective agencies and firms as well.
  • Review and process tax notices
  • Timely notification of direct deposit errors
  • Easy-to-use portal for tax and pay card purposes
Cons
  • The ticket system could use some fine tuning. Currently we are not notified in any capacity on the portal or via email if our tickets are updated. We should receive some form of notification of an update whether on the SmartCompliance home page or via email.
  • The ">" key in the Tax Analytics Dashboard section is not clickable unless you hover the cursor directly over the carat. It would be easier to drill down if it became a clickable "box" instead of just the character itself.
  • In the Reports > Wage Payments section, I would like to see the ability to view more than 20 reports at a time. The tax section allows 50 or 100 reports/documents as an expansion to the default.
ADP SmartCompliance is well suited for payroll tax management and report generation. I utilize the Tax Analytics Dashboard for monthly KPIs and metrics, which allows us to review year-over-year comparisons in payroll management and our economic impact. Subsequently, the Wisely/Aline card area is quite easy to maintain and utilize at any level of competence.

The main improvement I would request is for the ticketing system. Again, there is no notification of when your ticket has been updated or addressed, so it can make it difficult to ascertain when something has been completed or updated.

We use Smart Compliance to upload all garnishments, child support, levies, etc. This also pulls our Wire confirmations and tax information after each payroll. Check on tax issues that ADP is working on for us.
  • It keeps us updated on what's going on with our tax issues by sending us notifications when an update is needed.
  • It Sends me the Invoices for the pay groups per pay period.
  • Able to see the tax filings done and sent to the agencies.
Cons
  • Does not close out an SR without sending us an email first.
Great with getting our tax filings done without us having to worry about it. I feel that sometimes it takes too long to handle the ones with issues.
