Cottage Health System Refines HR Administrative Processes with Open Enrollment Provided by Benefit SoftwareÂs Fringe Facts® Online
(PRWEB) April 1, 2004
Fringe Facts Online enables Cottage employees to view and make changes to their benefits plans via the Internet. Since 2001 Cottage employees have accessed information from home, office, or any Internet connected location via a secure Fringe Facts Online benefits website. Cottage is able to enroll employees, improve data accuracy and timeliness while dramatically reducing paperwork. The reduced administrative overhead has resulted in consistent cost savings over the last three years.
Ron Lafrican, Benefits Manager at Cottage said, ÂOur eEnroll Online website produces custom carrier reports for our claims administrator and pharmacy benefit manager. This saved us a huge amount of time and it reduces the chances of human error. The value of this system is easily proved by reduced paperwork, less man hours, reduced error factor and our satisfied employees.Â
Mr. Lafrican also stated, ÂThis system has allowed us to add employees without having to add more staff in the benefit department. The best part of the system is that I donÂt have to worry about it and I donÂt have to maintain it. It just works. The service from Benefit Software has been great. They are very responsive, creative, and they listen to what we want and then go about meeting our needs.Â
William Smith, Business Development Manager at Benefit Software said that ÂFringe Facts Online is designed to simplify benefits enrollment, reduce cost and improve data accuracy. We allow our clients almost unlimited freedom in how they present benefits enrollment to their employees while maintaining rigorous rules so an employee only sees what she or he is eligible for and then can only elect what theyÂre qualified for. The end result is reduced cost to the employer, improved morale, decreased turnover and increased productivity for the employee.Â
