BenefitWallet vs. Employee Navigator

While the user interface is relatively easy to use and offers nice functionality, from out experience, we had an issue that their fraud security was weak. One of our cards was somehow used out of state, at a pharmacy that it had never been used at before, with 3 transactions for exactly $100 each every day. One would think that some type of software AI would have flagged that as suspicious activity, but no. It was caught when the member tried to use the card and it was declined, and the last $100 transaction was processing, draining the account to zero. We called customer service, and they said paperwork was coming out - one document for each transaction, which was a huge amount of paperwork - via next day air to file the fraud claims. They were also supposed to put a freeze on the account immediately. After a week, NO paperwork had arrived, and when I called in to track it down I also found that the CSR had NOT shut the account down and the fraudsters were attempting further withdrawals of transactions for

We are very pleased with the change to [Employee Navigator] as it offers more what we needed. It's very customizable and has many features that can be added or taken away depending on business needs. I'd only say it would be less appropriate for a business quite smaller than ours who needed very little in comparison.

• Time off requests. These are easy to perform and track as an employee and user.
• Time off approvals. Couldn't be easier. Time of approvals or denials are sent via email and are one-click tasks. Also can be performed in the web UI, but it's so easy.
• Manager reporting. Managers can easily see reports on employee time off and make decisions based on that.

• It is a great stand alone product. We would like it to tie into a more robust HR solution and communicate with payroll.
• Initially there are a lot of features that are turned off, I like to know what a program is capable of so I can be more strategic in implementing a solution.
• Having a broker in the middle is both good and bad.

So far, we have had very little reason to call in to Employee Navigator support. Our team who works with them have found it easy and simple to work with them when needed. They aren't able to work on much or divulge how the system works internally, nor what's on the roadmap, but it is still helpful to have timely confirmation.

BenefitWallet was recommended to us by our Health Insurance Broker, so we did not explore other options. However, BenefitWallet is nice in that you don't need to keep receipts and transactions are generally accepted and not declined as happens with other providers.

Most of the systems I've used for HRIS systems have been part of the payroll system. What stands out with Employee Navigator is the ability to key your benefit changes into one place, and all vendors are notified of the updates -- no more logging on to three or more sites to make an address change to an employee.

• We spent about half the time on open enrollment than we did in the last two years. Employee Navigator was much easier for staff to navigate and be able to complete their open enrollment independently
• We've saved several thousand dollars in setup fees to link with insurance carriers since moving to Employee Navigator
