BenefitGuard Expands 401(k) Integration with Major Payroll Providers
Salt Lake City (PRWEB) November 30, 2016 -- BenefitGuard was founded in 2010 with the intent of fixing a broken 401(k) model. Today, the company announced partnerships with major payroll providers to simplify small business access to payroll-integrated 401(k) solutions. These partnerships include Sage Payroll Services, formerly known as PayChoice.
“BenefitGuard and Sage provide their mutual customers with the assurance that their work force is being paid correctly and that the 401k records are being accurately recorded and report,” states Renee Sconzo, Senior Partner Advocate of Sage Payroll Services. “BenefitGuard’s high-service, cost effective solution compliments the service standards Sage Payroll is known for.”
401(k) Payroll Integration:
1. Allows for seamless data flow from payroll provider to 401(k) recordkeeper for improved accuracy
2. Makes 401k administration easier for the HR managers and payroll departments
3. Eliminates manual data entry Improving data integrity and reducing compliance errors
401(k) plan regulations require the sponsoring employer to submit payroll data to a recordkeeper each payroll period which outlines how much each employee made, how much they deferred, if they received a match, made a payment on a loan, etc. The recordkeeper uses the data to pull the correct contributions and deposits them into the 401(k) accounts. Employers often manage this manually and find it very time consuming. Payroll integration fixes this problem by automating the submission process.
“We have expanded our payroll integration efforts in response to market feedback. This has benefited our existing clients and resonates well with prospective clients who value simplicity in administration,” explains Matt Bradley, CEO of BenefitGuard. “Partners like Sage, who have built integrations with our recordkeeping solution, have been crucial in our efforts to extend this benefit to clients. The payroll providers also benefit in operational efficiency, client retention, and client acquisition.”
BenefitGuard’s growing list of payroll integration partners also includes Paylocity, Heartland Payment Systems, Keystone Payroll, Vision Payroll, Payroll Processors, Paycor, Payroll Experts, and Flex-Pay among others.
