What should advisors tell clients about integrated vs. non-integrated payroll?

Integrated payroll helps to reduce the plan sponsor's administrative burden and the risk of late deposits or data errors. Advisors should set this expectation during onboarding, sponsors on non-integrated providers will need to commit to a manual upload process for each payroll cycle. Helping a client switch to an integrated payroll provider (if they haven't already) can meaningfully improve their plan administration experience.
