Employee Payments

The Problem
In order to keep staff happy and engaged, you need to make sure you’re paying them the right amount at the right time, which is difficult to ensure if you need to extract data from multiple systems. But they also need easy access to their money, and with as few charges as possible.

Our Solution
The Fourth platform provides fully integrated HR, scheduling and payroll so you can be sure the right data flows through the system to pay your staff the right amount. 

Affordable Care Act

The Problem
Determining Affordable Care Act (ACA) eligibility for employees with flexible hours can be challenging and time-consuming, especially when combined with calculating and predicting your organization’s classification, and addressing the affordability (9.5%) test.

Our Solution
With Fourth’s eligibility reports, you can quickly and easily determine which employees meet the full-time equivalent (FTE) threshold. Your company size can be analyzed across any date range to make sure you’re delivering the right benefits in compliance with ACA requirements, while ensuring you are providing one of the three approved calculation methods for affordable and compliant healthcare options.

General Ledger Reporting

The Problem
You need to make sure that information around financial transactions is correct in your accounting system. Doing this manually not only takes time, but also risks errors due to rekeying information.

Our Solution
With Fourth, pre-built templates make sure uploading information to your accounting system is simple and accurate – and they can be customized to your specific requirements.

Payment Cards

The Problem
Paying staff by check not delays them being able to access their money, but also means they lose some of their wages in costs.

Our Solution
As well as providing checks, we can take care of all payments to employees via direct deposit to their bank account, or through a payment card which is lower cost to the employee than cashing a check, and has no additional cost to you.
