ADP SmartCompliance--A Good Decision for a Smart Company
- Review and process tax notices
- Timely notification of direct deposit errors
- Easy-to-use portal for tax and pay card purposes
- 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.

A+ to ADP Smart compliance
- Preparation for Tax filing the reports that identify issues so that as a client we can fix before sending final tax file for quarter and annually
- W-2 balancing reports are thorough and quickly identify the employees that are errors and won't generate W-2's for
- The easy set up of new states. More recently ADP started offering the filing of application for companies for new states but in general to get a new state set up even if we as a client don't have all the account #'s the process is pretty simple
- ADP also helps company stay compliant with POA's much easier than 10 years ago.
- The wage payment area could have betting reporting with returned/deleted payments.
- Tax filing funding - when there is a credit how and when applied could be handled better.

ADP SmartCompliance- Well worth the money.
- Easy to find and download tax records and documents.
- Great functionality, very user friendly.
- I like the upload feature for tax notices.
- Its a bit hard to navigate if you do not have prior experience.
November 23, 2020
Way to Go, ADP!
- Invoicing.
- Tax Records.
- Reporting.
- Viewing Notices/Amendments that are in review. You can not tell which jurisdiction it is for until it has been filed or finalized.
- A job aid for how to enter SUI rates in the system for EVERY state with examples from the state rate notice. It gets difficult to know what should be split out for the additional rate.

- Update system to changing Federal Requirements.
- KPIs.
- Invoicing and Funding.

- Our tax filing are done on time!
- If there are issues with a tax agency, ADP makes it easy to upload the notices in SmartCompliance.
- Tax filings are readily available to download.
- ADP is trying to move away from email communication between account managers and clients towards an onsite "chat" system. I am only in SmartCompliance when I am processing periodic and quarterly reports. Not every week, much less every day. Having to log in to see if I've had a response from my manager will be very inconvenient.

- Full integrations - certified and proven with Workday.
- Process efficiency - Settling payroll and moving through the process with communication.
- Manages the detail - our focus is on confirming.
- Garnishment processing - this is a tough and moving area that requires changes with different states and processes within each integrated system.
- Analytics - very good here (Unemployment side), but other areas could improve on where we stand and the overall process analysis providing additional information.
- Continue the full integration of Modules - enjoy having the 1 stop shopping for all of our needs; user experience continues to grow in best practice strides.

- Our ADP Account Manager has taught us how our systems talk to ADP's system, and how to get the best results from both.
- SmartCompliance provides a one-stop-shop for information and documentation; I can transmit data, check the status of processes, file amended returns, and get copies of the returns that were filed.
- SmartCompliance tracks penalty and interest costs, and provides analytics to compare our performance to other companies our size.
- ADP continues to enhance SmartCompliance , but it is an ongoing process. Some local payroll tax returns are still not available on the platform and can only be acquired through a request to our Account Manager.
- Our Account Manager is a rock star, but I have spoken with other SmartCompliance users who have not had the same experience.
- The Garnishment platform is where we see the most room for improvement.

- They are extremely delayed in how long it takes them to review notices.
- They don't update the SmartCompliance homepage in a timely way (months delayed).
- The people notified when an alert is posted in SmartCompliance aren't consistent.

Problems with ADP Wisely pay card customer service.
- Information that is detailed and ready for review almost immediately in some aspects and within 24 hours in other aspects. Information is available quickly and accurately.
- They have quick and easy access to remedies if necessary.
- They have many services to choose from. You can start out with a few services and add many others that are available as you become more familiar with all the services that they provide.
- When a agency account has been inactivated it cannot be re-activated on the SmartCompliance website. This information has to be given to your account rep to be updated manually and sometimes this can lead to a delay.

ADP SmartCompliance - Robust, Reliable, Ready-to-Go!
- The daily periodic files are a key component in helping reconcile payroll taxes.
- The ease at which tax notices can be uploaded, reviewed and resolved is tantamount to success.
- It is a quick process to update tax rates and enter new locations into ADP. There are continuous updates and the program is user-friendly.
- There are daily alerts for actions that need to be taken in order to stay in compliance with taxes and garnishments.
- I would like to see more user-friendly links/buttons in order to run tax reports.
