CIC Plus Solution: Tax Withholding Services, Compliance Library & I-9 Management
The ChallengeChristmas Tree Shops struggled to manage a variety of employee onboarding tasks that required ongoing manual intervention by HR &
Payroll staff. This included both manually capturing local tax elections for their geographically diverse workforce as well as delivering and
executing required state-mandated forms. It became time-consuming and overwhelming to continually research and monitor compliance
requirements state-by-state and then implement changes quickly.
Another part of the onboarding process Christmas Tree Shops needed help with was their employee verification process. They were
looking for an I-9 management system that would give them confidence I-9 verifications were being completed accurately, while
streamlining the end-to-end verification process.
The SolutionChristmas Trees Shops turned to CIC Plus' to help them modernize and alleviate their manual processes across these critical onboarding
tasks. CIC Plus’ Workday Certified tax withholding solution fully automated their federal, state and local tax election process. Compliance
Library monitors the latest regulatory changes and proactively makes updates to all mandated notifications and acknowledgement forms
as needed. Both of these solutions present the correct forms to employees by validating the employee's home and work addresses. All
manual processes are eliminated.
The CIC Plus I-9 management system includes a certified E-Verify integration and remote verification services. The solution ensures
compliance for Christmas Tree Shops and an excellent employee experience.
