Maxwell Health vs. Netchex

Maxwell Health is easy to use and it provides a great way to manage all of the benefits offered by the company to the company as a whole. It answers many of the questions right there on the platform without the user having to contact any type of support. It saves time for the employee and makes them aware of what benefits they currently have.

I LOVE THE EASE OF THE TIMECLOCK AND PULLING INTO PAYROLL. PREVIOUSLY I HAD TIME CLOCK ON MY DMS AND PAYROLL THROUGH PAYCHEX. IT DIDNT INTEGRATE SO I HAD TO KEY IN EVERY SINGLE TIMESHEET....THIS IS SO MUCH EASIER. ONLY THING I DONT LIKE IS ONCE YOU START PAYROLL IF SOMEONE TIME HAS TO BE FIXED YOU HAVE TO DELETE AND START OVER. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAVE HAD WHICH IS NOT A BIG PROBLEM.

• Maxwell Health does a very good job of providing employees the useful information they need to make an informed decision regarding their benefits. This includes pricing and benefit plan summaries.
• The form approval workflow allows employees to complete necessary forms from a location of their choice. This means that they can make more informed decisions in an environment that may includes other decision makers, reduces the need to bring sensitive personal information to the workplace, and can be done at a time that is convenient for their schedule.
• Maxwell Health provides a place to post information that employees may need from time to time. This includes information on benefits, instructional information for completing forms and an employee handbook.

• My Netchex Service Team is very responsive and friendly. They are willing and able to spend the amount of time needed on one call to troubleshoot most problems or answer questions.
• Their recent updates to the employee dashboard have been well-received by our seasonal team. Employees are able to quickly find what they are looking for which has minimized the amount of requests that my team receives regarding questions on pay or updating personal information.
• Online W-2 forms have been a game-changer for us since moving to Netchex. Our staff tend to move around a lot and most do not get the mailed copy of their W-2. The electronic consent has saved me hours and hours of time.

• It does not display all the details
• Could have more visible contact information
• The mobile platform is not as easy to use

• Support needs to be available more times than just normal business hours.
• Tax support is basically non-existent. This seems that it should be TOP NOTCH.
• Some of the functionality of the Netchex program could be tweaked. It is not a keyboard friendly program at all. Must mouse your way through. When the program times out, it takes 2 to 3 screens before it really logs you out.
• When submitting from Netchex to Dealertrack, it would be nice to show the payroll # or payroll date that has been submitted. Currently once you hit submit, the screen reverts back to the last successful payroll submit. This process is just a bit confusing, especially for new users.

Easy to work with.

Very user friendly and great interface.

The first line CE team is phenomenal. They are helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. We have had less luck with the responsiveness of the tax department. However, their response time has improved drastically over the past year.

Implementation took some time but was pretty much error free.

We currently use Paylocity for our payroll and some HR needs. Maxwell Health and Paylocity work together to share information. There are some features in Paylocity that work better, such as new employee orientation forms. This is more for forms that directly tie into the employee's record that affects their paycheck. Paylocity does not provide a way for employees to access benefit information and make selections.

Netchex is much more user-friendly and much more of a robust payroll system. Netchex also takes care of everything regarding employees and their entire time with the company, but GP is much more limited.

• Reduced open enrollment processing time.
• Easy to reconcile invoices with reporting features.
• Vendor/carrier integration feature.

• Associates can easily access their data and make changes to things like their address and direct deposit, saving manager time to focus on more critical tasks within the organization
• NetRecruitier has one site that can be posted to multiple job boards with one applicant tracking system
• Electronic Onboarding allows us to get information out to the new employee so we can start with expectations on their first day and they know what to expect.
