Empower Gets the Job Done

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Empower as our 401K broker/provider. Our employees log into Empower to sign up, make changes, take out a loan or close their account. We don't have the time to do these administrative tasks for 401K. When the change is done, we will get a report to make the change in our payroll system. Empower also provides any reports we might need.

Pros

  • Keep track of all our employee's 401K accounts
  • They take care of all notices for account holders
  • They take care of all tasks in a timely manner.

Cons

  • The transfer of payroll information from our payroll software to Empower, without getting charged on both ends.
  • The fees can be a lot
  • Notifying us when a notice or letter is returned to sender, so we can try to find out the new address.

Return on Investment

  • More employees use Empower
  • Statements are delivered in a timely manner
