 The information below provides highlights of the Agency Management System (AMS) that BPI has developed for PTLA members. BPI's proposed system provides a unique combination of payroll functionality, contact management, workflow control and audit capability, as well as the ability to track and report associated general ledger costs. The AMS includes the following: * Tax processing and filing (federal, state and local) * Self-Service module for employee direct access to their own information * Leave tracking (typical vacation, sick and flex time) * Supplemental payroll runs (and ANY off-cycle payroll) * Job costing module * Employee W-2 & consultant 1099 production (printed annually) * Non-recurring processing (termination or supplemental payments) * Software upgrades & enhancements * Electronic library of reports * Complete interface with company's existing accounting software (Great Plains, Peach Tree, etc.) Also included in the system are unique solutions to typically labor-intensive reports that many organizations struggle to reconcile. Examples of these solutions are: Expense Reimbursement Process (ERP) Automate online reporting and reimbursement of expenses (real time) - personal logon and data entry - downloadable data for reimbursement (credit card info, etc.) - online Supervisory oversight & approval - ability to incorporate expense reimbursement to paycheck or send separate payment via ACH, eliminating weeks of waiting for payment - removes expense of cutting checks & paying postage - audit ready library of expense reports, kept on file & never deleted, for every employee Bonus Calculation System (BCS) - consolidation of information from all systems and databases for bonus computation - real time report on where company and individual stands in relation to bonus available for all affected parties - automated goals and standings for all levels (individuals, division, corporation, resort, etc.) - tracking of inventory The system has far more capability than has been outlined here. One of the best features is that you have the capacity to upgrade and modify the system, at no additional cost and at all times, simply by articulating how, where, why or what the data needs to look like. In every instance where we have designed and implemented a customized solution for a client, there have been drastic improvements in efficiency, productivity and reporting resulting in cost reductions across the board. The beauty of the Agency Management System is that, to the client, there are NO development or implementation costs of ANY kind. The only obligation is an investment in time, typically around one hour, to gather the information so that a demonstration of the system can be built to your exact specifications. Mark S. Hanson, Chief Executive Officer Office: 301-840-6624, Ext. 318 www.bpitoday.com [ BACK TO TOP ] |

What is the Choice Rx Prescription Drug Discount Card? The Choice Rx Prescription Drug Discount Card is a card that offers a discount of up to 50% on all drugs at participating pharmacies to all of your employees, whether they have no insurance coverage, are underinsured, or have health insurance.

 PTLA Limited Medical Benefit Plan A step towards reducing employee turnover. PTLA members may now enroll part-time employees (as well as other employees not eligible for group medical benefits) in an affordable basic medical benefits program. Available through the PTLA Member Advantage Programs, the PTLA Limited Medical Benefit Plan is offered through Wealth Management Services - Hershey, PA. PTLA has pulled together best-in-class partners in underwriting, plan design, administration and marketing, enabling the PTLA to offer its members a means to provide fundamental healthcare coverage to all of their employees, whether full-time, part-time, temporary, seasonal, or independent contractors. Although the percentage of employee turnover for the hospitality industry may vary from one study to the next, there is no argument that employee turnover is high and directly impacts productivity and profitability. Providing employees with medical benefits and allowing them to purchase benefits for their dependents are solid steps towards reducing your future employee turnover. We all know that healthier employees are more productive employees. Medical benefits not only attract higher quality employees, they help keep them healthy and productive. Employees without medical benefits are more likely to file workers compensation claims for medical treatment or defer medical treatment - potentially allowing minor conditions to develop into more serious medical situations. In addition, when employees have greater empowerment and choice over their health and wellness, their employers are likely to see less sick days. Overall, quality medical benefits can help secure an employer's business goals. Health benefits are a sound tactic in any employer's effort to improve its employee retention results. Employees are a key investment for any company and retaining employees is much more cost-effective than replacing them. Employee turnover equates to a net loss when you consider the time and cost associated with recruiting, screening, interviewing and training new workers - not to mention loss of productivity and overtime pay to those covering a vacant position. Some studies indicate that as much as 25% of annual compensation is a conservative estimate for the cost of replacing an employee. Insurance benefits are an effective and efficient means of meeting the economic needs of both the employer and its employees. Everything you need, from one trusted source. Wealth Management provides solutions to our clients for health insurance benefits, as well as other benefits including dental, vision, disability, and life insurance. We address both employer-paid and voluntary programs. Our comprehensive analysis includes comparisons of self-funded versus fully-insured programs when appropriate. We also facilitate the transition that many employers are making to consumer-driven plans such as Health Reimbursement Arrangements (HRAs) and Health Savings Accounts (HSAs).
