Save your Business and
Employees Frustration
Connect & Simplify vs. The Competition What is human capital management?

HR and Benefits Management Built Around Your People

Your employees’ data should not live in silos. Connect & Simplify helps bring HR, benefits and employee administration together so changes flow more smoothly across the systems and processes your business depends on. From onboarding to benefits enrollment, our team helps reduce manual updates, improve employee service and give your business a clearer process for managing workforce needs.

Time Management

Full Employee Benefits Services

Comprehensive employee benefits plans, including health, voluntary and retirement with carrier connections.

 

Integrated Payroll Solutions and Support

When payroll, employee data, benefits, time and compliance do not work together, your team spends more time fixing issues, updating records and managing handoffs. Connect & Simplify delivers payroll solutions powered by UKG and supported by real people who understand your business. Payroll connects with HR, benefits, retirement plans, workers' compensation and time labor management, helping you reduce re-entry, improve accuracy and keep information moving through the right systems.

Time Labor Management Connected to Payroll

Time data affects payroll, reporting, scheduling and compliance. When time tracking sits outside the rest of your system, small issues can create extra work across multiple teams. Connect & Simplify connects time labor management with payroll and employee records to help your business reduce manual entry, improve accuracy and manage workforce activity with less

Integrated Payroll, HR, Benefits and Time in One Platform

Connect & Simplify helps employers bring the systems, vendors and processes supporting their people into one connected experience. Payroll, benefits, HR, time labor management and compliance work together instead of operating in silos.

With a connected platform and support team, your business can reduce duplicate data entry, manual corrections, unclear ownership and avoidable errors. Instead of spending time managing multiple vendors, your team gains a simpler way to manage business administration.

INTEGRATED PLATFORM

For 20-100 Employee Companies

Businesses with 20-100 employees often reach a point where informal processes and disconnected vendors start creating more work. Payroll becomes harder to manage, benefits updates require extra coordination and HR processes need more structure.

Connect & Simplify helps businesses at this stage build a better foundation. We connect what should already be working together, including payroll and benefits, employee data and reporting, HR processes and compliance.

For 100-500 Employee Companies

As businesses grow beyond 100 employees, administration becomes more complex. More locations, departments, benefits needs, reporting requirements and compliance responsibilities can strain disconnected systems.

Connect & Simplify helps larger small to medium-sized businesses simplify operations through a more connected structure. Fewer vendors, fewer logins, clearer workflows and one team that understands the whole picture help your business gain better visibility, more control and greater confidence in how work gets done.

Payroll and HCM Support From Real People

Doing HCM better takes real human experts and a customized approach.

Connect & Simplify combines integrated software with subject matter experts who help your business manage payroll, HR, benefits, time labor management, retirement plans, workers' compensation and compliance. Our team helps you plan, migrate, configure and support the processes your business depends on.

You do not have to figure it all out alone. Familiar voices are available to help with reporting, questions and the unique payroll and workforce needs of your business.
