Ease Central Use Cases

Based on our assessment of Ease Central features and user reviews, we have identified several situations where the platform is well suited for organizations:

HR Teams Tracking Incomplete Benefits Enrollments

During open enrollment, HR teams may need to follow up with employees who have not made their benefits selections before the deadline. This becomes more challenging when an organization has a large workforce or manages enrollment across several client companies. Ease’s enrollment tracking helps administrators identify outstanding elections and direct follow-ups to employees who still need to act. Users particularly appreciate how it lets employees choose the benefits they want.

Benefits Administrators Processing Employee Life Events

When employees marry, have children, or experience other qualifying life events, benefits administrators must coordinate changes to their coverage. For brokers supporting multiple employer clients, handling these requests alongside routine enrollment work can add to the administrative workload. Ease supports digital life-event workflows, allowing administrators to review submitted changes and track their status. Connected carrier processes support the transmission of relevant enrollment information.

HR Teams Dealing With Paperwork-Heavy Employee Onboarding

Ease helps HR teams keep employee onboarding and benefits enrollment organized, even when handling several new hires at once. Its digital life-event workflows and enrollment tracking can reduce the burden of following up on forms and signatures. This gives HR staff more time to focus on helping employees settle into their roles.

Employers Organizing Recurring ACA Compliance Work

Employers responsible for Affordable Care Act (ACA) reporting must keep employee and benefits information organized to prepare accurate reports each year. This can be demanding for HR teams managing eligibility records alongside other benefits responsibilities. Ease’s ACA-related tools support eligibility tracking and reporting workflows, while its centralized repository helps teams organize information for ACA reporting. Reviewers highlight its capability to maintain a centralized repository, which makes it easier for ACA reporting.

Is Ease Central Right For You?

Ease Central may be worth considering for brokerages that need support moving clients to online benefits administration. Its subscriptions include customer support, while broker onboarding provides a dedicated manager and recorded training sessions.

For agencies working with different insurers, Ease offers more than 6,000 digitally mapped carrier forms and accepts requests to map additional forms. These mapped forms give brokers a way to handle carrier paperwork even when a carrier does not have a direct connection with Ease.

For security, Ease under Employee Navigator's security program following the 2023 acquisition. It also holds HITRUST CSF certification. Furthermore, it uses two-factor authentication, virus and malicious-program scanning, and tools for managing documents related to ERISA requirements. Its medical benefits workflows also use standardized 834 eligibility files and carrier connections to reduce manual handling of sensitive employee information and the risk of errors.

Ease has received several industry recognitions, including Deloitte Fast 500 Technology Winner in 2022, a Stevie Award for HR Technology Solution Provider of the Year, Bronze, and shortlists for the 2021 SaaS Awards and 2021 Cloud Awards.

A relevant industry priority is making employee benefits easier to understand and access while reducing administrative work for HR teams. Ease addresses this need through side-by-side benefits comparisons, mobile access to benefits information, digital enrollment, and automated carrier data transfers. These features help employees make more informed plan selections while reducing the manual work involved in processing enrollment and qualifying life event changes.

Ease Central Features

Real-Time Enrollment Tracking

Ease's enrollment progress dashboard shows which employees have started, completed, or still need to complete their elections. Teams can identify outstanding enrollments and send reminders directly through the platform. These tracking tools help HR and benefits administrators monitor enrollment progress and follow up with employees who have not completed their elections.

Automated Benefits Changes

The platform’s benefits change capability lets employees submit qualifying life events and demographic updates digitally. Administrators receive notifications about changes that may affect coverage. Ease also offers digital forms and carrier connections to help move these updates through the appropriate workflow, reducing the need to manage paper forms and manually re-enter employee information.

See How It Works
Digital Onboarding

Ease Central supports onboarding by allowing employers to generate and send offer letters, collect required forms, and obtain electronic signatures for policy documents. New hires can then move from onboarding into benefits enrollment within the same environment. Teams can manage paperwork and enrollment workflows in one place.

See How It Works
ACA And Benefits Compliance Tools

Ease provides compliance capabilities that track employee eligibility, support ACA reporting, and help manage required benefits documents. Its ACA tools can calculate eligibility, verify reporting codes, track employee data, and support electronic filing. HR teams can use these capabilities to organize employee information and prepare documentation for recurring ACA reporting.

“clean benefits portal experience”

Pros

Getting introduced to this platform through my company meant I was using it for the first time and it turned out to be more convenient than I expected. Once I got the hang of it, the navigation felt easy and the clean layout made it simple to manage benefits and find the information I needed. I also didn't run into any security problems and whenever questions came up, customer service was available to help.

Cons

At first the toughest part was not knowing my company's exact URL or login link. As a new user, it was frustrating trying to figure out which portal I was supposed to use and where to access it. After I finally got the correct link though, everything worked without any issues.

“benefits and payroll work well”

Pros

Handling benefit enrollment is much simpler with this and the integration with our payroll software is a big help.

One thing it's missing is automatic enrollment emails for new hires so those still have to be sent manually.
