ADP SmartCompliance(R) Technology Helps Companies Improve Compliance and Automate Process of Garnishing Wages
ROSELAND, NJ--(Marketwired - Mar 29, 2017) - As companies grow in size, so does their potential liability for wage
garnishments. According to ADP® 2017 data, one in 14 U.S. employees has a wage garnishment and 12 percent of those have more than
one type. Further, the same data shows that companies with 5,000 or more employees have the highest garnishment rate at 8.6
percent.
For employers, wage garnishment -- withholding wages from an employee's earnings to satisfy a debt -- means navigating
complicated state and federal laws that can make compliance particularly challenging. Failure to calculate and withhold the
appropriate amount of funds, submit required responses and notifications, or hold or remit payments to the proper parties can
expose companies to litigation, fines and employee frustration.
Now, ADP has enhanced its full-service
Wage Garnishments solution to further help employers lessen their compliance burden and simplify the end-to-end process of
wage garnishments on a day-to-day basis. The ADP SmartCompliance Wage Garnishment technology helps to mitigate risk, improve
productivity and ease the employee experience. This outsourced solution is bolstered by experts who help professionally manage
the process and provide assistance.
ADP's newly enhanced Wage Garnishments solution:
- Offers an easy, intuitive, patented interface that helps track critical tasks and provides time-sensitive alerts and
comprehensive information, all in one place.
- Processes information securely, quickly and accurately with direct integration to leading payroll platforms and a "rules
engine" that automates lien processing.
- Provides information transparency that gives businesses visibility into the garnishment process with near real-time
document processing status updates and intuitive search functions that help employers stay informed and in control.
- Is powered by ADP's expertise, which includes a trained call-center staff that helps handle employee concerns sensitively
and a dedicated service team that offers compliance insight and expertise, and regularly monitors for regulatory
changes.
Doug Politi, president of ADP Added Value Services business, said he was delighted companies are seeing the benefits of ADP's
newly improved wage garnishment solution.
"Garnishment orders can be a complex burden on employers, especially since they can be held liable for entire garnishment
amounts, not to mention the costs of litigation and research time if garnishments aren't properly processed," said Politi. "Our
focus is to simplify the employer experience by eliminating the majority of an employer's garnishment tasks, from lien management
through disbursement."
