Sage HRMS vs. WEX Benefits

Sage HRMS might be great for a smaller company under 1,000 employees. I would not recommend it for larger companies. It becomes too burdensome because many processes still have to be manual and reports take forever to process if you have too many records in your system

If you are looking for a company that will be thorough in the substantiation process and will have the employee ready in the event they are audited, WEX is perfect. If you employees have a hard tolerating being asked multiple times to substantiate similar or same claims, this company is likely not for you.

• Reporting - there are three levels of reporting - 1. Standard Reports 2. Query Tool - users can create very simple list with some filtering functionality 3. Crystal Reports - user can create very simple to complex report pulling data from multiple table, calculated fields, etc.
• Benefit Tracking - benefit plans are setup utilizing rate tables therefore rate changes are updated globally
• Payroll - everyday payroll processing and tax filing that is very user friendly

Incentivized

• In my opinion, poor application of IRS rules
• In my experience, frequent denial of coverage to be later reversed
• In my experience, poor complain processing rules
• need PAPER checks to be sent if you need to reimburse them. PAPER! They don't accept credit cards. A credit card processing company that doesn't accept credit cards.

• It is sometimes hard to identify parts of competency/compensation history. We built tables to store this data but it is not laid out well on the screen.
• Sometimes, even when you tell the system to "Add to History" it doesn't update so there is history missing. This impacts someone that relies on history for troubleshooting and reports.

Incentivized

• In my experience, WEX has an inability to connect with other entities on the supply chain (bswift, internal benefits department).
• Slow support request turnaround (3-5 business days).
• Makes FSA substantiation unnecessarily difficult.
• Even when there’s a single itemized receipt for all charges, every charge must be substantiated with a separate upload.
• Even though doing so would satisfy IRS guidelines, WEX won’t accept third party explanations of services as FSA substantiation.

I do not work with this software anymore, and I am not involved with the renewal of it. However, if I were, I would still suggest using it unless something better was introduced

Incentivized

In my opinion, horrific website with poor design and usability. I think the company frankly does not care.

Sage HRMS is popular and it's used in most organizations due to the reputation of Sage in coming up with popular and reliable business softwares. The software is not that expensive and after learning how to use it, everything becomes smooth and perfect. It's ultimate strength lies in payroll management and helping in applicant tracking capabilities

We never really had one place for all of our HSA, FSA and COBRA needs. We used multiple vendors and our employees a variety of vendors and banks they could set up their accounts with. WEX really help simplify and uniforms the whole process and help streamline all HSA, FSA and COBRA processes

Incentivized

• Sage HRMS allowed us to manage payroll in house.
• It was disappointing that we had to use an outside vendor to file and pay our withholding tax.
• Ultimately, the decision was made to outsource payroll after using HRMS for 3 years.

Incentivized

• WEX Health has made administration of FSA, HSA, and COBRA so much easier
• I feel confident that WEX Health is compliant, as a company, and that they keep us compliant
• We are always able to call and talk to a knowledgeable representative when we have questions
