ADP SmartCompliance is utilized by my company to issue service request and updates to user accounts. It is a very useful tool because it offers a centralized location to make a request, update information to a request and to view the process on completion of a service order. I think it is a very useful tool and make it easier to get the help you need.

We use Wage Garnishment, Employment Tax, Wage Solutions, and Invoicing. In my role, I use Wage Garnishment. We utilize Workday which does not have a garnishment processing feature. We use ADP to process all our garnishments and interface with Workday. I was not involved in the decision- making process to use ADP Smart Compliance for our Wage Garnishments.

ADP SmartCompliance is our great ally, they help us keep track of garnishment, employment tax, whether it is our quarterly filing or agency notices, and pay cards. This tool has helped us be more efficient in our everyday because we can delegate these responsibilities while we focus on other payroll related responsibilities.

Currently we use ADP SmartCompliance extensively for uploading/tracking garnishments or any court orders, tax filings, applying for new jurisdictions etc. It saves a lot of time with doing all the legwork and a dedicated team who are experts in their field. We are a very lean payroll team so having ADP SmartCompliance as support helps our processes a lot.

It is smart to use ADP to stay in compliance.

We used ADP SmartCompliance for our payroll taxes. By using SmartCompliance we didn't have to use the time it takes to pay taxes and fill our paperwork. They do all of the work for us. We used this approach because it decreased errors in pay and filing our payroll taxes. They also processed our W2s and sent them out to our employees.

This is currently used for taxes, garnishments, and Wisely funding. We also house our payrolls within ADP SmartCompliance. This was already in place when I came to the company, however we did get an enhancement to have both Wisely card funding and Wisely Now funding. Great features for both of these. The downfall of Wisely is that you can't submit for a payment to be made on a specific date, another change that was not favorable.
You are able to research the company tax information, such as 941, monthly, quarterly and yearly reports.
This also hold our garnishments, garnishments payments and responses made to the courts, although finding the responses can be a challenge. The updates made in the past to the garnishments portion has not always been favorable in my opinion.

The Payroll department uses Smart Compliance to manage tax filing and W2s. We also used to manage users for W2 I pay access. Helps employees to access their W2 electronically without the Payroll department having to print and mail to employees that have lost original W2. ADP for tax filing identifies through reporting issues and concerns with data being passed and flags agencies that we may need to register for tax ID. I have been at Bright Horizons for about seven years, and we have used it even before my coming to BH.

ADP SmartCompliance is necessary however...

We utilize ADP SmartCompliance to process our tax filings wage payments. This has been a great help as we are in 40+ states. Their wage payment module is great. That being said, ADP SmartCompliance for taxes is not without its problems. The site is difficult to navigate and ADP's tax department is not that responsive and can be difficult to deal with.

All in all, we find ADP SmartCompliance to be one of the better packages available.

We use ADP SmartCompliance for Wage Payments, Garnishments, and Tax Payments. Our employees also receive their W-2s from ADP in the mail and online through iPay. That makes it much easier for me later when they can't find them. They can go online and get them. We use Workday to process our Payroll and then use ADP SmartCompliance for these services.

We use the reporting to track our tax payments, to assist with any payroll questions and garnishment issues. We had no issues when we filed our 3rd quarter taxes, which due to our relationship with a PEO, was the first time we filed them on our own. Anytime you switch payroll providers, there are issues with direct deposits. ADP Smart Compliance let us know in a timely manner when we had issues with an employee's account so we could correct the issue. Nothing is more important than making sure child support payments get to the necessary parties. ADP Smart Compliance allows us to respond to any inquiries from the courts or agencies to show when payments were sent.

After purchasing Workday for our in house payroll, we learned that Workday could not handle the reporting needed for our quarterly and annual tax filing. ADP tax now files our payroll taxes.

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.

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.
