My GroupLane
Managers send new hires, hours changes and departures in English or Spanish. GroupLane reviews each one, and you can see where it stands at any time.
What you get
Managers and employees enter new hires, departures, leaves, and life events from a phone or computer.
Your adviser, Mark Woeppel, reviews each change before our team sends it to the carrier.
Notices, filings, and plan tests are tracked by date, and we tell you ahead of time when something needs your signature.
What’s included
Your managers make the changes. Our team handles the carrier work, the payroll report, and the federal paperwork.
Managers and employees make changes in one portal, in English or Spanish, on a phone or computer: new hires, departures, leaves, marriages, births, and address or name changes.
The result
You get a confirmation when we receive each change and another when the carrier has it.
Our team sends each approved change to the carrier through that carrier’s approved channel, either its online portal or an enrollment file. Your adviser approves every change before it goes.
The result
Carrier records match your employee list, and you know who sent what and when.
Once a month, payroll gets one deduction report. We reconcile each carrier bill against your employee list.
The result
You stop paying for people who left, and you don’t miss anyone who should be covered.
We track hours, waiting periods, and enrollment windows. Once you have 50 or more full-time employees, federal rules require you to offer coverage to anyone working 30 or more hours a week, and we watch that line for you.
The result
You have a record of every offer and every decline, for every employee.
COBRA is the federal law that lets people who leave your plan keep their coverage for a time by paying for it themselves. We send the required COBRA notices on time and track each one. You collect the COBRA payments. Not sure COBRA applies to you? See when you must offer COBRA.
The result
Deadlines are met and documented, without anyone on your staff counting days.
Payroll
Your payroll person or provider gets one plain spreadsheet each month. It works with any payroll system because there is nothing to connect.
A self-funded plan pays employees’ claims from company money. A level-funded plan charges you a set monthly amount toward claims, with insurance against large ones. Either way, the federal paperwork that an insurance company would handle becomes yours.
We prepare the documents, run the tests, and keep the yearly calendar. Fully insured plans carry fewer of these duties, and we serve those employers too.
Each year we test the plan to confirm it does not favor owners or higher earners over everyone else.
You pay a one-time setup fee, followed by a monthly fee for each enrolled employee. Employees who decline coverage do not add to the cost.
Call us or send your employee count, and we will quote the setup fee and monthly rate.
How it works
Names, hours, and wages for everyone on payroll. We use this information to determine eligibility and waiting periods.
Managers and employees receive access in English or Spanish. We also prepare the documents required for your plan.
After your adviser approves a change, we send it to the carrier. You receive a confirmation at each stage.
We check carrier bills against your employee list and send payroll one deduction report.
You sign the required documents. Before you make a renewal decision, we review the numbers with you.
