Since ProgramPay, powered by Vestwell has an integration with your payroll provider, we can take a lot of work off your plate regarding the processing of your payroll files through automation (yay!). This guide will help you set up your integration as well as understand your specific responsibilities for the proper submission of payroll files. Even though your payroll provider is integrated with our platform, all Plan Sponsors have ongoing requirements to make sure the content is correct.

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 Payroll Concierge services.
Let your Voya Representative know that you'd like to integrate. From there, you will work with the ProgramPay team, who will guide you through the rest of the setup process. There may be a few action items for you to complete along the way--prompt completion of these action items is crucial to ensure a timely setup!
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 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.
How does my integration work?
Your integration is a 180° Automated Integration. This is a one-way integration in which the ProgramPay team will automatically receive certain information about your plan and participants from your payroll system and process employee and employer contributions to the plan.

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

- Process employee deferrals and employer contributions which are maintained by the integration shortly after you run payroll in your payroll system. Even if you process your payroll early, Vestwell will never process the contributions file before the actual pay date.
- Employee Status Changes
- When you add, rehire or terminate employees in your payroll system, the changes will be reflected in the ProgramPay portal within 1-2 business days after the next pay date.
Will Insperity charge me any fees to set up and/or maintain my payroll integration?
Insperity may charge fees in conjunction with the integration. Please check with your Insperity representative for more specific details.
ProgramPay will not charge you to facilitate this integration.
How do I disconnect my integration?
If you change payroll providers, it is your responsibility to inform us so that we can disconnect your integration and assess whether integration with a different payroll provider is available. Please reach out to your Voya Representative, and we will assist you.
