Overall Satisfaction with ADP SmartCompliance

We use SmartCompliance for tax, garnishments, pay cards, and year-end functions.

Pros

  • Provides tax records.
  • Mapping jurisdictions.
  • Garnishment disclosures.

Cons

  • Notices for the customer to contact the tax agency. It would be beneficial before that is being asked of the client for ADP to provide some context what steps they have already taken proactively to try to resolve. Seems like a lot gets put on the paying customer instead of ADP trying to resolve on the customer's behalf.
  • Help articles could be more user-friendly.
  • Compliance for state specific laws and regulations could be better communicated. Such as new OT, FMLA, Required Taxes by state.
  • Has increased time spent on tax-related issues.
  • Decreased manual work for process and managing garnishments.
  • ADP Wisley is a very streamlined service with minimal issues.
We use Workday and have several integrations to support the services that ADP helps us with, such as Garnishments, Pay cards, and Taxes.
The smart connection features save time and provide quick up to date information.
It has been helpful, but some of the seminars or learning options seem to repeat the same information. It deters me from attending future sessions.
It is always helpful to have one website/module to go to for compliance data.
Both providers are great at what they do, but neither offers a package deal for other services that we would like.

Do you think ADP SmartCompliance delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Did ADP SmartCompliance live up to sales and marketing promises?

No

Did implementation of ADP SmartCompliance go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy ADP SmartCompliance again?

Yes

Depending on the service type, we have had great service with garnishments and pay cards. The tax services have a lot to be desired; the account reps that handle the accounts are changed too often, which leaves many items unresolved. We have had a lot of back and forth with no resolution on tax issues.
