Case Study: Elwyn Inc. achieves streamlined ACA compliance and IRS penalty relief with ADP SmartCompliance

Automating Health Care Reform with ADP Health Compliance

Elwyn Inc., founded in 1852, is an internationally recognized nonprofit that provides health and human services for children and adults with intellectual, developmental and other challenges. When the Affordable Care Act took effect, Elwyn’s two-person benefits team was manually tracking hours and managing ACA reporting for nearly 5,000 employees using spreadsheets, a slow, error-prone process that also led to IRS penalty notices.

Elwyn implemented ADP SmartCompliance Health Compliance to automate hours capture, form coding and ACA reporting, and relied on ADP’s support to challenge IRS penalties (removing $10,000 in assessed penalties). The solution delivered greater accuracy, significant time savings, strong client support, and allowed the HR team to focus on higher-value work—making it easy to implement and recommend.
