Purpose: This solution provides initial troubleshooting steps when the benefits admin has reported that a team members has done one of the following:
- Randomly terminated in the benefit carrier site but is still active in our HR system
- Isn't termed in benefit carrier sites or hasn't received COBRA communication and is terminated in our HR system
- Isn't showing in the carrier sites but is in our HR system
About Sage People's Payflow To EverythingBenefits Process: Sage People utilizes an process in their application called "Payflow" (not to be confused the our internal product of payflow.keeleycompanies.com) that runs (currently on Saturday for all Team Member's whose last name starts with A-K and the remaining Team Member's on Sunday) and creates a excel file of information needed to send to the carriers. This process takes that file and loads it to Sage People's SFTP server where EverythingBenefits (now UKG) picks up the file every Monday, formats, checks for errors and sends to the carriers.
