PHILADELPHIA, PA — Reliance Matrix expanded its Employee Navigator integration to support absence-management eligibility through an existing data connection, eliminating a separate leave file that had added implementation work for employers and brokers.
The change allows employers using Reliance Matrix Absence Management to rely on Employee Navigator’s standard data feed for leave eligibility administration. Reliance Matrix said it can combine that information with a limited payroll data set at no additional cost.
Previously, employers implementing absence-management services typically had to create, map, test and maintain a dedicated eligibility feed. That process could require additional administrative and information-technology resources and extend implementation timelines.
Reliance Matrix said the expanded integration removes that requirement for both new Employee Navigator implementations and customers adding absence-management services to an existing connection.
The company is targeting a common friction point in benefits administration, where employers often maintain multiple data feeds between human-resources, payroll and insurance systems.
“By extending our Employee Navigator integration to support Absence Management, we’re eliminating one of the most common implementation challenges associated with Leave administration,” Paula Hanson, assistant vice president of Benefit Technology Solutions at Reliance Matrix, stated.
The integration is also intended to reduce data-integration work for benefits brokers handling client implementations and accelerate onboarding.
Through the same Employee Navigator connection, Reliance Matrix already supports self-bill administration and automated Evidence of Insurability processing. The latest enhancement adds leave eligibility administration to that existing infrastructure.
Reliance Matrix said the broader strategy is to consolidate more benefits and absence-management functions around a single connection rather than requiring employers to maintain separate interfaces for each administrative process.
