Why You Must Provide a Census

Providing a complete and accurate census is very important and will help make payroll submissions and reporting easier.

In order to set up accounts for your employees, we need to know who they are! A census is a list of every employee currently employed or employed at any time during the current plan year. Providing a complete and accurate census helps us: 

    • Collect employee email addresses for registration and ongoing communications
    • Calculate accurate employee eligibility dates
    • Reduce the risk of year-end compliance test complications

The email you provide is the email we will use to send them their registration link and create their account. Once they set up their account, employees may change their preferred email address to a personal one. The email they use to set up their account will become their portal login and is where they will receive upcoming communications. If your employees are not wired at work, it is your responsibility as the employer to get employees their registration links and send them ongoing communications.
