Case Study: Shearer’s Foods achieves streamlined ACA compliance and cost savings with ADP Health Compliance

Snacking on success Shearer’s Foods bites into ACA compliance

Shearer’s Foods, a Massillon, Ohio–based snack manufacturer founded in 1974 and one of the largest sweet-and-salty snack providers in the U.S., struggled to manage ACA compliance across 17 locations and more than 5,000 employees with a one-person benefits team. Carrie Powell, benefits supervisor, faced constantly changing multi-state rules, gaps in training, unverified social security numbers and the risk of incorrectly levied fines.

Partnering with ADP Health Compliance (ADP SmartCompliance for Health Compliance) brought SSN solicitation and verification, built-in ACA training modules, managed-service support and compliance dashboards, plus hands-on guidance from an account manager. The solution improved data hygiene, enabled proactive monitoring, reduced noncompliance and legal risk, and—according to Carrie—has already saved the company thousands of dollars while creating a stronger culture of compliance.
