For the most part I have had a good experience with compliance personnel, though there have been times where I don't feel I have received a straight answer and they kind of go in circles. ADP has served me well with the amount of information provided in SmartCompliance, as well as the links to other resources. Clients even received e-mails with helpful information and links where you can obtain further documentation. For example, I was very pleased with the communication sent out about the new Connecticut Paid Family Leave for 2021. While we were aware of it and working on our configuration, each state is different and we were not aware that this state required an additional registration. The notification we received provided the necessary link, as well as a document of instructions. While I am not sure this came out of SmartCompliance, I was very grateful as a tax client to have received it as opposed to finding this out after we ran our first payroll in the new year.

Awesome system and representatives!
Our compliance representative from ADP is very knowledgeable on all tax aspects. What I like the most is that if she does not know the answer, she usually finds someone who does. There have been many times when she has reached out to IT or someone who can help us outside of her area. This is so helpful!

My client representative is very good at pointing out changes or new features within SmartCompliance. Even though I have used the site for many years, there have been functionalities I had not used, and was guided on how to do so. For example the manual amendment input. This is a great tool if you do not have a need to send a full amendment file and only need to focus on one jurisdiction and your application does not allow an electronic file to be sent for one specifically identified jurisdiction.

It is smart to use ADP to stay in compliance.
They have been helpful in keeping us in the know about any new developments when it comes to governmental regulations by regularly sending emails to me.

For example, ADP made the setup for the employer social security deferral very painless. I only hope the 50% payback is as easy of a process. Account managers are up to date on upcoming trends. I have also found their backup to be very attentive and responsive. This is truly appreciated.

They actually lack here. I wasn't made aware of an error until it was well past the deadline.

Great for submitting electronic tax payments
A lot of money is spent on giving general overviews without direct answers. They don't want to be responsible for some things. This requires us to use our CPA firm to get confirmed answers.

We have had mixed experience with the personnel working in ADP's tax department. There are some individuals that are very knowledgeable and there are others who are not that have created challenges for us. My recommendation for anyone looking at this service is once you have found a knowledgeable resource, go back to them with questions or request a dedicated resource.

We recently renewed our licensing with ADP, the team is very helpful in providing all the details in a timely manner; as the timeline was getting closer and we needed the support to validate in our sandbox before we could migrate into production- the ADP integration team personnel worked with us to review end to end testing; great satisfaction.
I love how "hands off" [ADP] SmartCompliance makes my job; the system takes care of everything and alerts me to any issues that need to be addressed.

The customer service with SmartCompliance has been very helpful. We never have to wait for a response for more than a day and they always come with more information than what was originally asked for. We haven't had any complaints with the service we've received thus far. We also receive updates on regulatory requirements from ADP which keeps us up to date on compliance matters.

ADP SmartCompliance--A Good Decision for a Smart Company
Shout out to Stephanie Trimble and her team. When I started with this company in early 2019, Stephanie and her team rectified an immense amount of tax issues that were dropped in our laps. I can honestly say that if it weren't for Stephanie and her team, we would still be dealing with these tax and compliance issues today.

Our experience with compliance personnel has been great. The communication is great, they are quick to respond with information and provide assistance when needed. The support that they have provided has assisted with keeping us as compliant as we can. They have also kept track on any pending credits we potentially may be eligible for and notified us. That has helped tremendously since there are times that we are not aware of these.
