Employee benefits software

Benefits compliance changes constantly and carries real penalties when it goes wrong. People First gives HR teams the tools to manage enrollment, track compliance, and provide employees with a self-service benefits experience without the admin burden of manual processing.

Manage benefits with confidence & compliance

ACA reporting errors carry IRS penalties starting at $310 per employee. COBRA notice failures can trigger $110-per-day fines. And that’s before accounting for the hours HR teams lose chasing enrollment paperwork, reconciling deductions, and manually updating dependent records when life events happen.

People First brings the full benefits workflow together. Enrollment, compliance tracking, and employee self-service all run automatically, accurately, and with a full audit trail ready whenever you need it.

Benefits enrollment & life events

Guide employees through online benefits enrollment for new hires and open enrollment periods, with intuitive workflows that remove paperwork. Qualifying life events automatically trigger coverage updates, while HR teams can track enrollment progress and completion status in real time.

ACA administration & filing

Stay compliant with built‑in ACA tracking and reporting. Monitor full‑time equivalent employee counts, track affordability thresholds, and generate 1094 and 1095‑C forms for IRS submission. Proactive compliance alerts highlight potential issues before filing deadlines approach.

COBRA administration

Automate COBRA compliance from notice delivery through election tracking and premium billing. When a qualifying event such as termination or loss of eligibility occurs, required notices are generated and sent automatically, with all records maintained for compliance without manual HR follow‑up.

Spending accounts & eligibility

Support HSA, FSA, HRA, and LSA administration alongside automated dependent eligibility audits. Employees manage contributions and pre‑tax spending through self‑service, while eligibility verification runs during enrollment and at scheduled intervals to prevent ineligible coverage and cost leakage.

Reporting, dashboards, & audit trails

Access real‑time dashboards showing enrollment rates, coverage breakdowns, cost per employee, and overall compliance status. Comprehensive audit trails support ACA, COBRA, and ERISA requirements, giving HR teams confidence and readiness for regulatory reviews without manual preparation.

And every action is logged. When a regulator asks, the audit trail is already there.
