Managing employee benefits separately from payroll can create extra work every pay cycle. Benefit deductions, health plan changes, retirement contributions, new hires, qualifying life events and employee updates all need to be reflected correctly in payroll. When critical processes live in separate systems, your team is left reconciling data, checking deductions and coordinating between vendors.

Our integrated payroll and benefits approach connects benefits strategy, benefits administration, payroll deductions, employee records and ongoing professional support in one streamlined experience. With an integrated payroll and benefits platform, your business can reduce manual updates and make it easier to keep employee information, deductions and benefit changes aligned across payroll and benefits administration.

Connect & Simplify’s Wisconsin employee benefits experts deliver strategic guidance backed by connected administration.

Expand your benefits portfolio with strategic voluntary options complementing your core offerings. Voluntary benefits are optional plans paid by employees through payroll deduction, making accurate payroll coordination an important part of ongoing administration. Voluntary benefits are traditionally offered in three primary ways:
We provide voluntary benefit plans at discounted group rates, giving employers a quality, low-cost option. Through integrated payroll and benefits, employers can connect voluntary elections and deductions with broader employee payroll records.
Handling employee benefits internally can expose your business to compliance risk, administrative strain and payroll deduction errors. Benefits changes can affect payroll, employee records, tax treatment, retirement contributions and health plan administration. Without experienced payroll and benefits services, small mistakes can become expensive or frustrating for both employers and employees.
You also need to consider legal obligations for offering benefits at the federal and state levels.
Without expert guidance, businesses may face penalties from non-compliance, poor employee experiences from deduction errors and reduced competitiveness from suboptimal benefits packages. Connect & Simplify combines benefits expertise with integrated payroll and benefits administration to help your business manage these responsibilities through a more connected process.
