Guideline offers three levels of service, depending on your payroll provider.
360˚ integrated payroll providers
Our 360˚ integrations help make plan administration seamless and secure. These integrations allow our system to automatically sync with your payroll provider each night to update employee information, such as new hires or terminated employees, and pull payroll reports needed to administer the plan.
Additionally, any contribution rate changes made that day from the Guideline platform will be updated in your payroll provider platform.
Our 360˚ integrated payroll providers include:
Gusto | Paylocity |
Intuit QuickBooks Online | QuickBooks Desktop (Enhanced and Assisted Payroll) |
TriNet HR Platform | Housecall Pro |
TriNet PEO | Central |
Rippling | Plane |
OnPay | Eddy |
Square | Warp |
Run Powered by ADP | Monograph |
ADP Workforce Now | Belfry |
Justworks Payroll | Proliant |
The list of our integrated providers may be updated from time to time, as reflected on our website.
180˚ sync payroll providers
Guideline also provides 180˚ payroll sync with certain payroll providers. With these payroll providers, you will grant Guideline third-party access in order to service your plan.
If you utilize one of these payroll providers, Guideline will:
Update your Guideline roster each pay period based on information in the payroll platform, including updating newly hired or terminated employees.
Pull your payroll report after each regularly scheduled payroll; however, if you run an off-cycle payroll, you’ll need to notify us so we can pull contributions in a timely manner.
Update employee contribution rates in payroll when employees change their contributions rates from their Guideline participant dashboard. Note that it can take up to 72 hours for contribution rate changes to be updated in payroll.
Our 180˚ payroll sync providers include:
Bamboo HR | Namely |
iSolved | Paycom |
Justworks PEO | Paycor |
Paychex | PrimePay |
Self-service payroll
Guideline is still able to support your plan if you do not use one of our 360˚ integrated or 180˚ sync payroll providers.
In this case, your 401(k) would be a self-service plan. You can learn more about what it means to be a self-service plan here.
