PlanSource Fall Product Release Streamlines Payroll Deductions; Gives Easy Access to Add-On Products and Services

ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 27, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- PlanSource announced today the launch of Halley, its fall software release. The release includes a groundbreaking tool for deducting benefit premiums in payroll systems, a hub for connecting with the company's partners, and reporting and administrative enhancements.

"The Halley release solves some fundamental problems that HR and payroll teams have struggled with for years," said Ryan Baldwin, Chief Technology Officer at PlanSource. "For example, we've cracked the code on making retroactive payroll deductions, a previously manual process that often creates errors and adjustments. Combined with our new partner program and a wealth of updates to our reporting and admin tools, Halley packs a big punch."

Advancing the payroll deduction process
The Advanced Payroll Deduction tool in the Halley release uses sophisticated logic to calculate and track payroll deductions over time, automating a process that is often manual, time-consuming and error-prone. The system calculates payroll deductions based on coverage effective dates and enrollment dates. It can also import actual payroll deductions, making adjustments and generating refunds to employees when required. These types of actions can be especially useful to manage situations in which an employee returns from a leave of absence and deductions must be taken out of several paychecks.

Introducing PartnerSource
With the launch of Halley, PlanSource has also unveiled PartnerSource, a marketplace where employers, brokers and consultants can view and interact with PlanSource's network of partners, and purchase add-on products. It is composed of three separate focus areas:

HCM – leading huan capital management technology providers that have partnered with PlanSource to provide an integrated solution for HR, payroll, benefits, talent and workforce management.

PlanSource Advantage – a strategic program between select insurance carriers and PlanSource that provides pre-established integrations and pricing incentives.

QuickConnect – a range of best-in-class partner products which PlanSource customers can select, order and quickly implement. These products include:

• Online total compensation statements by Brain Power Software, which can include salary information, insurance benefits, leave, and other benefits which can be accessed on any device directly from the PlanSource system.
• Identity theft protection by ID Watchdog, which provides employees with identity monitoring and protection against a crime which affects millions of Americans and leads to billions of dollars in loses, reduced productivity, higher absenteeism and lower employee morale.
• Financial services by TrueConnect, which provides safe, affordable financial support to employees. Offered as a voluntary benefit, TrueConnect provides access to regulated bank loans and financial counseling.
• Student loan assistance by Tuition.io, which offers programs that allow employers to contribute money towards employee student loans as part of their overall benefits package.
