Timelier Service and Fewer Headaches
Any retirement plan administrator can react to a problem. How many have you worked with that actually head off problems before they happen?
At The Standard, we believe it’s important to do more than just react. That’s why we use a fundamentally different process to collect data on plan participants. With each payroll, we collect and maintain data on all of your employees, even if they’re not yet eligible to participate in the plan. This way, we can anticipate many administration problems before they occur, which is the best time to catch them.
The benefit for you? Timelier service and fewer headaches.
Full Service, Not Lip Service
Full service. In the old days, it meant that when you pulled up to the pump to get your tank filled, you also got your windshield washed, your oil checked, your tires inflated and probably even a friendly smile.Seems like those days are long gone. Today, many companies say they offer full service, but in truth, it’s usually just lip service.
Not at The Standard. For more than 70 years, we’ve built our reputation by providing our retirement plan customers with the real deal. Our full-service plans offer:
- a participant-centric approach — One size doesn’t fit all. Our Mainspring Retirement Plan SolutionsSM address each participant’s unique needs, starting with a gap analysis of whether they’re on track to meet their retirement goals.
- simplified administration — Our recordkeeping system and data-collection process ease your administrative tasks by tracking eligibility and streamlining year-end testing. The goal: reduce the time you spend administering your plan.
- fiduciary responsibility — StanCorp Investment Advisers, Inc., accepts fiduciary responsibility for fund selection, monitoring and release of investment options.1
- no conflicts of interest — We don’t offer proprietary mutual funds and any revenue-sharing or service fees received are passed through to the plan.
- full fee disclosure — Sometimes it’s challenging to determine who is receiving how much and for which services. Choosing a provider with a full-disclosure policy makes life a bit less complicated.. Full service is alive and well at The Standard. Give us a call, and let us build a full-service package designed specifically for you.
Data Collection That’s Fundamentally Different
How is The Standard different? Here’s one way: With each payroll, we collect data on all of your employees, not just the ones currently participating in the plan. This makes it easier to:
- capture important information and tailor services to your plan
- discover ineligible employees and take corrective action immediately
- send out the year-end census virtually completed
Here’s another way: Deloitte & Touche, our independent auditor, prepares an annual SAS-70 report. This saves you money because your auditors don’t have to do the work.
