(1-25 of 134)Companies can't remove reviews or game the system. Here's why
- The ease of uploading documents for garnishments
- Clear direction for Set up Jurisdiction
- Enrolling & Funding Employees on the ADP Wisely Card
- Responding to a notification for a wage garnishment - the employee sent over and there was no name on the upload - there was no area for me to input and update the name of the employee. The only way for me to respond was to a note to the case.
- Invoicing & Funding - the details on the transactions can be more fully explained with the correct company code pertaining to the transaction as opposed to be under the parent company code. Explanation needs to be more detailed.

- When setting up a jurisdiction, the system forces you to enter the account number with the specific format so you are not incorrectly putting in the wrong number which will force rejections
- I like the ability to filter a number of areas within Tax to drill in
- The quarter end exception area is relatively easy to fix/understand
- The amount of time before the system knocks you out
- Quarterly tax filings - need to have the actual forms that are filed as opposed to only showing the monthly "voucher" with payments
- Garnishments - allow client to add updates/notes during the "review" process and not lock you out. Notes should be accessible for both client and ADP
- Upload additional documentation regarding a garnishment/order to link the data together. i.e. select an existing garnishment, click on add additional document (can have "action needed" or information only section

- It helps us quickly and securely issue payment to employees who terminate.
- We efficiently get our garnishments processed to remain compliant.
- Allow us to see uncashed checks past six months without having to work with a representative.
- Better review by adp of garnishment uploads to locate the employee's information before kicking it back to the company.
- A way to add money to our wisely account without backing out of a wisely authorization to do so with the account is low.

- Reporting capabilities
- Access to tax records is a great addition so you do not have to rely on your client representative to provide the information
- Ability to resolve exceptions when there is an issue with a file, such as a new tax jurisdiction you may not have been aware of and passed tax data to ADP
- The hHelp Center provides both internal and external links links to different tax and compliance resources, which is extremely helpful since it isn't always easy to get to the correct one when it comes to the states.
- Would like to see a little more detail on erros that show up when running quarter error reports. Sometimes the code explanation does not give you what you need to research fully.
- The amont of time it takes to be notified of a resolution after loading a tax notices is very long and then not complete. When they provide a letter that states more information has been provided, please include that in our notice package so we are awae of the additional information provided

Not the best experience
- Training
- Automatic syncing
- There are a lot of reports available
- It can be difficult to find the reports you are looking for.
- When using the excel downloads on reports, it would be better if they were easier to work with. Too many page breaks and headers makes it difficult to sort through large files to narrow information.

- Printing and Publishing Paystubs
- Informing us of tax updates or necessary updates required.
- Processing Garnishments
- Agency Notices, in my experience, we receive more than a normal amount of incorrect responses.
- Invoicing
- Communicating better in their agency notices and providing more details in my opinion.

ADP Smart Compliance is the Best in the market!!!
- User friendly
- Providing a tool that has everything located all in one place
- Communication - notify client of issues
- Maybe add a chat option.
- We have issues with our whole Payroll team receiving direct deposit reject email notifications. Maybe have a team to periodically have someone reach out to clients quarterly to see if they need help with getting issues resolved. We called a few times but I'm still not getting them. I set a reminder to check every Friday.
- Expand beta testing to companies only using Tax Services instead of the ones able to purchase the full package.
- We use Tax Services and Garnishments. We often have issues researching localities on our own. It would be nice if Tax client could have access to plug in an employees address and get help with who whether local taxes are required and how to get them set up.
