Overall Satisfaction with ADP SmartCompliance
We use ADP Smart Compliance for control of our employment taxes; it helps us to automate payroll tax filing, deposits, and returns as well as to actively track legislation changes. The wage garnishment option is also used for judgment withholding and/or arrears child support. It helps us streamline notices and payment updates to courts and creditors.
Pros
- Court reporting
- Tracking of PTO
- Updates law changes regarding withholding
Cons
- The time-out is FAR too quick
- Slow tax filings for certain states
- Integration with Workday is fair to poor
- Reduced exposure to audits by impeccable updates to new tax laws
- Reduces double work and cross-checking needed in manual tax submissions
- Document management for wage impact is a HUGE plus
We have iADP SmartComplance integrated into our Workday Workforce Management to supercharge our day-to-day human resource and payroll documentation operations. We also have integrated it with Aqore, our all-in-one staffing software we use for recruiting, onboarding, and employee data management. ADP SmartCompliance is a huge help in refining our tax credit requirements and eligibility with certain new hires that qualify.
In Workday, ADP SmartCompliance has really assisted the most in our traversing the recent changes in the Affordable Care Act. Integrating into Workday has helped us compile data points for ACA eligibility and affordability computations, searchable by employee's SSN and cross-referenced by our FEIN for unlimited, easy visibility. ADP SmartCompliance takes the guesswork out of existing ACA participants by automatically and proactively populating the ACA IRS and state reporting forms each month to help maintain the ACA full-time employees.
The way ADP SmartCompliance Tax Credits smoothly engages with Aqore helps streamline the process of finding and gathering meaningful tax credits for new hires. This integration simplifies the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC), which we use frequently in the screening process. It helps us correctly identify qualified candidates before making a hiring decision, improving compliance.

ADP SmartCompliance is the pinnacle of updates and alerts to new tax laws and regulations that come out almost monthly. It is so easy to fall victim to erroneous tax laws and not follow proper protocol in withholding payments, etc., by not being current on the changes that happen so frequently. ADP SmartConnect keeps that from being a danger.
When you don't have to pull down 4" three-ring binders, trying to locate what regulations a state has that an employee moved to, and see what laws affect certain transactions now that they technically occur in a new location, that is a HUGE plus. To have everything within a few keystrokes cuts down on stress and time. It has actually been a big morale booster as well. The document room is at almost half capacity, when three years ago it was crammed full of state regulatory bulletins and law updates.

ADP SmartCompliance is the most complete automated solution for compliance, bar none. I have used many compliance software suites, and they fall short in different areas that ADP has honed in on and made their strength. Regulatory nightmares are a lot to untangle, but the efficacy of having so many documents within a few keystrokes makes all of the difference.
