ADP empowers employers to shift regulatory obligations to opportunities by streamlining, automation and reducing the regulatory compliance burden for organizations with a combination intelligent technology and analytics paired with expert service.

However, employers have the option to mix and match SmartCompliance capabilities to integrate with their selected HR, payroll, and benefits systems. ADP SmartCompliance is designed to continue to grow to meet the ever-changing regulatory and compliance landscape, keeping employers ahead of demands, changes, and potential penalty scenarios.


The ADP SmartCompliance portfolio includes:

  • Employment Tax: Streamlined processes to support federal, states, and local employment tax filing and remittance.
  • 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.

  • ADP SmartCompliance and the tax management team were able to rectify a myriad of tax issues caused by our predecessor team in a matter of weeks. It exponentially reduced the manual labor that would have been involved if it weren't for its existence.
  • ADP SmartCompliance saves our company a lot of time by automating filing and payment requirements. I cannot imagine if we had to manually file and remit payment to each of the local, regional, and federal agencies we are registered with.
  • We have little compliance risk due to ADP SmartCompliance. This is because ADP SmartCompliance and the respective tax management team are on top of all compliance issues and notify us if there is an issue with any of our accounts almost immediately. This gives us ample time to rectify errors before any returns or payments are due.

  • We incorporated the Tax Credit form on our onboarding process so there's less administrative work required.
  • Most of our Tax Credit forms are completed with the required information. We do not have too many documents that are missing which expedites the process of aquiring our credits.

  • For Wage payment - the way they handle checks that are not cashed has made reporting abandon property less of a burden on the payroll department.
  • On a negative note ADP supposedly changed from filing Washington LNI/Workers compensation electronically. Since they went electronic all files have been rejected which in turn create penalty and interest for late/not file returns.

  • ADP's data analytics enabled us to validate to leadership the quality of the work we are doing. The ability to compare our results to other companies our size has elevated the respect for our department.
  • ADP SmartCompliance very quickly implemented the payroll tax changes around COVID-19 and automated processes that would have been time consuming.
  • SmartCompliance has enabled our company to minimize risk and liability in the garnishment arena.

  • It slows us down--it is extremely slow in posting and reviewing notices.
  • It's a significant expense--they gave us misinformation about a tax return that resulted in a charge of $25 per employee, per week of non-compliance.
  • They waste time with uninformed service help desk operators.

  • The customer service phone service for the ADP Wisely service is very bad. No understanding or a language barrier is a very difficult service to deal with. Also working with them to correct a situation was impossible. It is basically non existent.

  • ADP SmartCompliance has been instrumental in our move to Workday payroll software. The daily periodic files with details are easy to reconcile and the reports are thorough and accurate.
  • The tax notice upload feature and the support tax team at ADP make it possible to spend less time worrying about tax compliance.
