benefitsConnect OS & Pay

benefitConnect is an all-in-one cloud-based human capital management solution that reduces administrative tasks, manages complex employee lifecycles from hire-to-retire, designed specifically with HR in mind as it directly integrates with the insurance carriers and has complete payroll capability.

Feature	Dialogue
Applicant Tracking System (ATS)	HR Managers can post jobs with top job boards directly from benefitConnect, where applicants can be screened, tracked, communicated with and scheduled for interviews. Once a hiring decision has been made they are easily moved to Onboarding.
Onboarding vs. Orientation	Within benefitsConnect the two are quite different. benefitsConnect streamlines the process for hiring new employees in several ways: 1) One-time entry, 2) Employee self service portal, so that the information is the most accurate it can be, 3) Tracking completed documents, and 4) Compliance which has employees sign-off on policy specific documents, i.e. employee handbooks, benefit booklets. Tasks can also be assigned to team members for training purposes. Orientation – is on-the-job knowledge gathering, assigning mentors, learning how the company operates with feet on the ground. Meeting team members that the new hire will be regularly interacting with to get their job done.
Payroll	benefitsConnect has the capability to connect to 3rd party systems, such as accounting software, via an API or File Feed with import functionality. The connection type will depend on the 3rd party system. If a client transitions mid-year, we will take the taxable benefit year-to-date amount from their benefits provider and continue to add onto that YTD amount. All YTD information will be up to date no matter what time of the year the implementation starts. You can have as many bank accounts as your organization currently uses to run payroll.
Support	Our customer service is our most important feature at benefitsConnect. benefitsConnect provides a 1-800 service line that is accessible Monday to Friday 9-5 EST. We also have a help desk email. Both can resolve all your technical needs.
Implementation	Implementation time varies. However, it is usually 10-12 weeks (it depends on how many services you elect to use). Your implementation team will provide you with a detailed timeline.
Communication	Benefits Connect can push out alerts and notifications, policy changes to employee handbooks and newsletters and other corporate communiques, as well as chat directly to HR.
Reporting	One of the most important topics for HR admins is to be able communicate to other stakeholders in the company, by providing accurate data that can be used to make strategic decision to drive business results. benefitsConnect has both customizable and standard reporting available in various formats, such as: CSV, Excel
Training	Your implementation specialist will ensure that all administrators are fully trained on how to navigate through the various features chosen.
Mobile	In the event that your employees don’t have a smart phone, benefitsConnect also has a desktop computer version called an employee portal. We suggest a desktop computer or “terminal” be made available for employees to access at work.
