Frequently asked questions

We handle a wide range of employee benefits, including health-related accounts like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and Health Reimbursement Accounts (HRAs), as well as COBRA and commuter perks. We also offer financial benefits like tuition reimbursement and retirement savings plans.

Employees receive a benefits card (usually two for the primary account holder) that is linked to their reimbursement account. When the card is used for eligible expenses, the payment is automatically deducted from the employee's account. If accepted by the provider, employees can also use their online account to send payment directly to the provider, such as for parking or vanpool services. Users can also use it within their digital wallet for contactless payments via their cell phone—completely securely encrypted.

Payroll tax compliance is ensured by using geo-coding to link employees' work locations or residences to the correct tax tables. The system handles federal, state, and local tax rates, including intricacies like reciprocity and local tax jurisdictions. It also supports multiple pay rates, deductions, and other payroll conditions, ensuring accurate tax calculations and filings.Benefits
We use pre-tax benefits like Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), and other employer-sponsored programs. These benefits allow employees to allocate a portion of their income before taxes are deducted, reducing their taxable income and, consequently, their federal, state, and FICA tax liabilities. Employers also benefit from reduced FICA tax burdens when employees contribute to these pre-tax accounts.
