    Less appropriate for small groups with one very simple health plan. More appropriate for 20+ EE groups with multiple plans and supplementary benefits.

    timeOut is well suited when you just want employees to be able to track PTO and know where they stand. It eliminates employees constantly asking what are the PTO balances available. It has somewhat limited functionality when it comes to clocking in and out, as well as integrating with payroll.

    Cons
    PlanSource
    • The more advanced options, such as HCM, could have a slightly more user-friendly dashboard for users who are not daily computer users.
    • Needs to be easier to customize the homepage. Clients are always interested in adding in their own pictures, colors, welcome message position, etc.
    • Needs to have a function where the employer can send a document for the employee to sign, open and capture the employee's signature, send back to the employer and save in the employee file.

    PlanSource
    I have looked at GoCo, Kronos and Zenefits. I selected PlanSource because I felt it was the most customizable for a variety of clients across the board. The interface seemed functional but slightly professional looking than it competitors. PlanSource also seemed well established and that it was capable of handling my client needs.

    I believe that timeOut is more accurate to use and very user friendly from an employees point-of-view. However, in terms of Payroll Integration I did not find it to be better. Stand alone, timeOut is a great tool; but there is little data on my part in terms of how it successfully integrates with Payroll systems as well maintain an accurate count.

    Return on Investment
    PlanSource
    • Positive - Reduces time spent contacting vendors of enrollment changes. When you are dealing with several hundred employees and their dependents across several vendors that time starts to add up.
    • Positive - Point of value when trying to gain or up sell a client.
    • Negative - You do need to meet the minimum number of people on the platform as per your contact to avoid having to pay a fee to PlanSource. If one of your larger clients leaves that could be a potential issue.
