Migrate Your Payroll & HR in 6-8 Weeks
Regardless of your current payroll provider, The Benefit Companies through Connect & Simplify has the resources and team for a seamless migration. We regularly migrate small to medium-sized businesses from providers such as:
I'm getting my 30 hours per month of my time back!
"I was the de facto HR department, accountable to things like; Employee time fixes and accountability, new employee onboarding paperwork, legally required notifications about insurance availability at 60 and 90 days, paying employee health savings, and child support withholding. We were even considering hiring an HR person because I shouldn't have to plan my vacations around the payroll calendar.
Now employees are responsible and required to submit their own time off and timeclock fix requests, to be approved by their direct managers. They effectively train themselves, when fixing mistakes is their problem. Now I get to use my time on more important aspects of the business and don't have to hire an HR Manager."
