EMPLOYEE
"What is the difference between our Anthem HDHP with HSA and the Gold PPO plan during Open Enrollment?"
PO
Plan Comparison Summary:
Anthem HDHP + HSA: $0 monthly premium, $1,600 individual deductible. Company contributes $1,000/year to your HSA.
Gold PPO: $85/month payroll deduction, $500 deductible, $25 flat copay for primary doctor visits.
Recommendation: If you visit the doctor infrequently, the HDHP with our $1,000 company HSA contribution typically saves ~$1,420/year. You can elect your plan in Rippling by clicking here.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything HR Leaders Need to Know

Clear answers on HRIS integrations, I-9 compliance, Slack helpdesk privacy, and offboarding.

How does the AI verify I-9 documents remotely?
The AI prompts new hires to upload front/back photos of their acceptable identity and work authorization documents (e.g. US Passport or Driver's License + SSN Card). It checks optical security features, verifies document expiration dates, completes Section 2 form fields, and submits records to USCIS E-Verify within the mandatory 3-day window.
Can it answer company-specific policy questions accurately?
Yes. You upload your specific employee handbook, benefits summary plan descriptions (SPDs), travel & expense policies, and holiday calendars. The AI strictly references these verified documents and provides exact citations with every answer.
Which HRIS and payroll tools are supported?
Natively connects with Rippling, Gusto, Workday, BambooHR, Deel, Remote.com, Justworks, ADP, and Paylocity via official 2-way APIs.
How long does integration take?
Connecting your HRIS and Slack workspace takes under 15 minutes. Uploading and indexing your employee handbook and benefit guides takes approximately 1 hour.
