    Experian Employer Services
    CIC Plus was designed to set up local and state taxes for employees in the payroll system. Taxes were not being set up for work locations and there was a lot of manual entry as well as audits that had to be done to set up employees properly.

    CIC Plus does not set up all the taxes that are necessary to pay employees properly and this left the employer wide open for tax penalties and interest for taxes that were not paid properly and timely.

    BSI Tax Profile works to set up taxes for employees Home and Work location. It works as designed and requires a lot less auditing of employees' tax set up.

    • I wasn't involved in the cost aspect. I was the administrator of the CIC Plus system.
    • CIC Plus caused us to owe back taxes on local taxes that were not automatically set up for employees.
    • The taxes that were not paid timely had interest and penalties associated with them.
