I'm interested in your input as well as experiences you've had with either arrangement. Salary based benefits are changed automatically when salariesare changed - without double data entry. Besides eliminating double data entry, it also eliminates passing paper between departments.
Updates are available immediately to all departments.
Corrections and changes get a much quicker response. I hope this helps you. It's funny you should ask. We are a organization of 1,400 employees and we do everything related to benefits in-house. Until now, we have been using a stand alone benefits system which keeps track of enrollments, produces enrollment forms, confirmation forms, and does our flexible spending account accounting and payouts.
