Case Study: Valenti Management achieves $9M+ in tax credits and streamlined WOTC reporting with ADP SmartCompliance

Integration and efficiency help identify tax credits

Valenti Management, an LLC that owns and operates 12 Chili’s restaurants with about 650 employees, faced a time-consuming, manual process for capturing new-hire information needed to claim Work Opportunity Tax Credits (WOTC). The paperwork-heavy approach increased the risk of missed credits and tied up HR and payroll staff on administrative tasks instead of higher-value work.

By implementing ADP SmartCompliance Tax Credits and integrating it with their Snagajob hiring platform, Valenti automated screening, reporting, and compliance tracking while gaining proactive support from ADP specialists. The streamlined process freed internal resources, improved accuracy, and helped the company identify and claim more than $9 million in tax credits, delivering direct dollar-for-dollar tax benefits to shareholders.
