ROSELAND, N.J., Sept. 29, 2014 /PRNewswire/
-- ADP®, a leading global provider of human capital
management solutions, today introduced mobile tax credit screening
for the federal Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC). Mobile
screening is the latest addition to the ADP Tax Credits offering
and allows businesses to screen for WOTC eligibility from any
location using a mobile device or tablet, helping to speed up the
overall credit capture process. ADP research indicates that its Tax
Credits business is the first to provide a mobile tax credit
screening offering.
Companies of all sizes often expend significant time and
resources screening job applicants and verifying and documenting
employees for WOTC and other point-of-hire credits. When companies
are conducting mass-hiring, such as at job fairs or during store
openings, they often revert to paper applications and manual
processes to fill out and submit WOTC applications to states. ADP's
new mobile tax credit screening helps companies reduce the time and
resources needed to determine eligibility and submit applications
for the WOTC and other credits by making the application process
available electronically in virtually any location. The offering
allows job applicants to enter information on a mobile device or
tablet and alerts them on the spot of additional documentation
required to complete the application.
"We often hear from our clients that on-the-go WOTC screening is
a significant challenge. When they're in a location without
Internet access, employers often use a slower, manual screening
method or choose not to screen all potential candidates," said
Jeanne Madden, vice president
operations, ADP Tax Credits. "By making the process
accessible anywhere with an Internet connection, ADP is helping
companies screen the maximum number of employees to help improve
the efficiency and value of their WOTC screening process."
The new offering, available via a web interface, is the latest
addition to an already comprehensive suite of ADP WOTC screening
and delivery solutions that offer superior flexibility, including
Web-in, call-in and IVR (with electronic or voice signature, and
form delivery via fax, email and Secure Document Upload ) as well
as mail-in programs. These services help enable companies to
take full advantage of available tax credits and incentives to help
reduce a company's overall tax liability.
Additional features will be added to the mobile tax credit
screening offering in the future, including the ability for hiring
managers to enter the necessary information to complete the WOTC
application process after an employee is hired, and the ability for
job applicants to take photos of any required supporting
documentation and upload it to ADP – all directly from a mobile
device.
"One of the primary benefits of our company's relationship with
ADP is the constant innovation to existing products and services
that ADP brings to the table," said Mike
Wright, the director of human resources at Mint Julep
Restaurant Management Group. "Advancements like this in usability
and technology help us stay ahead of the curve by helping to
increase efficiency and reduce the time we have to spend on manual
processes."
