Empower Gets the Job Done
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Empower as our 401K broker/provider. Our employees log into Empower to sign up, make changes, take out a loan or close their account. We don't have the time to do these administrative tasks for 401K. When the change is done, we will get a report to make the change in our payroll system. Empower also provides any reports we might need.
Pros
- Keep track of all our employee's 401K accounts
- They take care of all notices for account holders
- They take care of all tasks in a timely manner.
Cons
- The transfer of payroll information from our payroll software to Empower, without getting charged on both ends.
- The fees can be a lot
- Notifying us when a notice or letter is returned to sender, so we can try to find out the new address.
Return on Investment
- More employees use Empower
- Statements are delivered in a timely manner
