HR & payroll integrations

Integrate once. Connect to the market.

Connecting your HR system to a single insurance carrier is not a straightforward process at the best of times, and what happens if you take advantage of more than one provider? When you connect your HRIS to Effortless, you do it once and you're connected to the entire market, more than 40 carriers and providers.

One integration

One integration, not one per carrier.

This is the difference most people miss. A direct HRIS-to-carrier feed connects you to one carrier. When change happens, you re-integrate from scratch. Effortless sits between your HR system and the whole market, so your integration never changes.

Data ownership

How the data flows.

Your HRIS stays the source of truth for the data it owns: employee demographics, salary, key dates, and contact information flow from your HR system into Effortless automatically, every day. A new hire, a raise, or a termination are applied without anyone re-keying it.

Inside Effortless, you manage only the benefits-specific information: dependents, beneficiaries, and coverage elections. That's a deliberately tight list of plan-compliance data, and most of it can be pushed to employees through self-service.

Your HR system owns

  • Employee demographics
  • Salary
  • Key dates
  • Contact information
Daily

Effortless owns

  • Dependents
  • Beneficiaries
  • Coverage elections

Can be managed by employees directly via self-service.

The result is a clean division of labour: your HR system does what it does best, and Effortless does the Canadian multi-carrier benefits administration an HR system was never built for.

Two-way integration

The payroll loop, closed.

Integration runs both directions. Effortless calculates each employee's cost-share as part of billing and produces a payroll deduction file specific to your payroll system, so the deductions that come out of benefits flow back into payroll without manual entry.

  • Demographics, salary and dates, daily
  • Deduction file, formatted for your system

Your pace

Start where you want.

Integration is optional, and it's not all-or-nothing. Pick the level that fits how often your data changes, and add more later.

Full daily HRIS integration

Demographics, salary, and dates flow in every day, automatically.

Payroll deduction file only

For programs where employee data rarely changes but deductions still have to be right.

No integration to start

Run Effortless on its own and add an integration whenever you're ready.

The payoff is real.
