How does my integration work?

ProgramPay (powered by Vestwell) has partnered with Pay(k)onnect, a payroll data aggregator, to enable payroll integrations with over 80 different payroll providers.

Your payroll provider offers either a 180° or 360° automated payroll integration. 

How do I initiate my integration setup?

1 - Complete the linked form:Payroll Integration Request Form so our team can collect the necessary details to set up your payroll integration

2 - Email your customer service representative or payroll specialist directly requesting to use the integration with Vestwell**. Your representative will work with you to set up your plan in the payroll system. Be sure to specify the expected first integrated pay date.

*Please note, until the integration is activated, contribution uploads into the ProgramPay portal will be required until our team has notified you that the integration can begin.
** This integration is facilitated through Vestwell not Voya.

Regular audits and spot checks of the data provided to us will help you quickly identify and rectify any discrepancies.

What does ProgramPay handle for me if my plan has an active payroll integration?

• Employee Deferral Updates made through ParticipantWeb
  • Deferral rate changes made by employees directly in Voya ParticipantWeb will be updated automatically within 2 business days
  • NOTE: Ongoing deferral changes shared directly with you from eligible participants, not using the Voya Participant portal, must be set by you directly in the payroll system.
  • Remember, initial deferral rates must be set up by you directly in the payroll system, including employees who are auto-enrolled (if applicable to your plan). 
• Processing Contributions & Loan Payments 
  • Process supported employee/employer contributions and applicable loan payments into your retirement plan based on what was processed in the payroll system. 
  • If you process payroll early, ProgramPay may process the contribution file before the pay date.

  • When you add, rehire or terminate savers in your payroll system, the changes will be reflected in the ProgramPay portal one business day after the next pay date.

Will iSolved Direct charge me any fees to set up and/or maintain my payroll integration?

Your payroll provider may charge fees in conjunction with the integration. Please check with your representative for more specific details.

ProgramPay will not charge you to facilitate this integration.

Are there any reasons why my plan might not be eligible for an integration?

There are some plan design features that currently prohibit the use of payroll integration, including:

• Plans that do not have an established recurring pay schedule setup in both ProgramPay and the payroll system
• Plans that do not use the same payroll provider for all pay group(s)
• Plans that have limitations preventing each pay group from being integrated.
• Plans with per pay period non-mandatory employer contributions
• Plans that allow after-tax contributions. 
  • Note: After-Tax and Roth contributions are not the same
• If your plan has been amended or if you are considering an amendment to your original plan documents, please inform your ABA Retirement Representative to understand what actions on your part will be required to submit and process your payroll files correctly.
