Integrated Retirement Plans
Don’t underestimate the benefits of “No-Touch” integration
Although it may seem like a small detail, the difference between Human Interest’s “No-Touch” integration and a 401(k) plan that offers partial or zero integration with your payroll provider can add up to hours of manual work.
A payroll integration helps make it seamless to manage your retirement plan
Wondering about some of the work that goes into managing a 401(k) plan? Let’s take a look at a few required tasks when you work with a provider that offers a partial or zero payroll integration.

Take the tedium out of 401(k)-related tasks
A Human Interest 401(k) helps streamline processes and reports, communicating directly with your payroll system to sync information on-the-fly. Say goodbye to the manual reporting and busywork related to updating employee information that is already in your payroll system. Through integration with Paymaster Payroll Services, Human Interest has your payroll and retirement benefit integration needs covered, so you can focus on the bigger picture.

Human Interest is an affordable, full-service 401(k) provider that makes it easy for small and medium-sized businesses to help their employees save for retirement.

Transparent and flexible 401(k) plan pricing
All plans offer an all-in-one 401(k) with “No-Touch” payroll integration to help streamline employee onboarding, automate 401(k) contributions, and simplify administration. A one-time $499 setup fee may apply.
What does it mean for Human Interest to provide 3(16) Fiduciary Services to your plan?
A fiduciary of a 401(k) plan is responsible for acting in the plan participants’ best interests, and could be liable if they fail to fulfill those responsibilities. When you choose a Human Interest 401(k) plan you have the option to delegate some of your fiduciary responsibilities to us. As the plan’s administrator and 3(16) Fiduciary Services provider, we handle the day-to-day operations and compliance- related tasks of your 401(k) and mitigate the plan sponsor’s liability.
Human Interest takes on most of the responsibility and liability as your 401(k) partner.
