Case Study: The University of Chicago achieves greater payroll tax compliance and efficiency with ADP SmartCompliance

The University of Chicago returns to ADP after a taxing year with a competitor

The University of Chicago, a large higher education institution, struggled with a payroll tax provider that proved more expensive and more manual than expected after leaving ADP. Using ADP SmartCompliance® Employment Tax with Workday, the payroll team lacked clear reporting and compliance visibility, creating extra work and uncertainty around filings.

ADP reactivated the university quickly and smoothly, restoring clearer audit-friendly reports, better control, and confidence in tax compliance. With ADP, the university reduced the payroll tax workload from two full-time people to one and saved significant time by relying on ADP to help track changing tax laws and local rules.
