"eMergent Benefit Solution's eLECT platform sets the industry's technology standard for employee self enrollment benefits administration and communication," said Alex Bothwell, Chief Executive Officer of Primepoint. "Combining eLECT with our technology makes for an automatic and seamless integration between an employee's benefits selections and the employee's data in the payroll and HR systems."

The eMergent Benefit Solution's eLECT platform provides benefit enrollment, employee communication, HR efficiency, and health and wellness promotion. Employees can easily access and enroll in multiple benefits from one place, online, anytime.

This partnership has created a fully integrated solution for employers, enabling the automatic integration of employee benefits data with the Primepoint payroll processing and HRMS systems. When companies hire or terminate employees, one data entry automatically updates all systems automatically and in real-time. Similarly, employee payroll deductions are automatically updated when a benefits change is made. The combined solution eliminates the need for entry of the same data into multiple systems, reduces billing discrepancies and ensures that the correct withholdings and deductions are processed for employees.

"The Primepoint and eMergent Benefit Solutions partnership offers one of the industry's only comprehensive employee management tool delivered via Software as a Service," said Gretchen Winterbottom, President of eMergent Benefit Solutions." In addition, our TPA, consultants and broker clients who privately label the eMergent Benefit Solutions Platform can now offer the Primepoint payroll option to their employer groups if they choose, and Primepoint can do the same for their broker clients who take advantage of Primepoint's co-branding model."

This combined technology allows employers on the eLECT Platform to quickly take advantage of a complete payroll and benefit solution. Because the technology solution is delivered via Software as a Service, employers do not need to invest in hardware or manage complicated upgrades. eMergent Benefit Solutions and Primepoint continue to make updates to their respective software to keep up with changes in tax laws, regulations, business rules and customer expectations.

Lisa Lange, CEO of eMergent Benefit Solutions added, "Our goal is to leverage the Data Synch Web Service Facility to not only integrate the eLECT Platform with payroll providers, but broaden our services to integrate with insurance carriers, health exchanges, other HR software providers and employee wellness providers. This expanded functionality will drive efficiencies and improve the timeliness of how data is sorted and reported between employee management service providers-a long need improvement in the market."
