Built for businesses that are Growing.
Growth adds complexity. More employees. More eligibility rules. More compliance risk. Auris keeps retirement and payroll aligned.
Launch your 401(k) the right way.
If you don’t have a retirement plan yet, this is where mistakes get locked in early. Plan design, eligibility rules, and payroll deductions need to align from the start. Auris sets the structure correctly before the first contribution ever runs.
01
Choose the right plan structure.
Not every 401(k) fits every business. We help define the plan type based on how you operate, not just what’s common.
02
Work with the right provider.
We coordinate directly with trusted 401(k) providers so setup, timelines, and requirements stay aligned.
03
Define contribution logic upfront.
Employer match formulas and employee contributions are configured with clear rules, not assumptions.
04
Build deductions inside payroll.
Deductions aren’t layered on later. They’re built directly into your system of record, so they run correctly every time.
05
Set eligibility and compliance rules.
Waiting periods, thresholds, and participation rules are structured to meet requirements before they become issues.
06
Launch with everything connected.
Documentation, setup steps, and timelines are handled in sequence so nothing gets missed before go-live.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Does Auris offer 401(k) plans?
No. Auris does not provide retirement plans directly. We integrate with most existing 401(k) providers, including yours, to ensure payroll and retirement contributions stay aligned.
Why is payroll integration important for a 401(k)?
401(k) contributions are taken directly from employee paychecks.
If payroll and retirement systems are not aligned, errors happen.
Contribution amounts can be incorrect. Loan repayments can be missed. Reporting can become inconsistent. Integration removes the gap where those mistakes occur.
How does Auris help reduce errors?
When benefits and payroll operate separately, someone has to manually reconcile the data. With Auris, employee records, elections, and deductions live in one connected system. Changes are entered once and reflected automatically in payroll. Fewer manual steps. Fewer opportunities for mistakes.
What happens when an employee changes their contribution?
The update syncs directly to payroll. There is no need to manually re-enter the deduction or adjust spreadsheets before the next payroll run.
Is this only for large companies?
No. Auris is designed for small and mid-sized businesses that want the advantages of integration without building complex internal processes.
Are there any costs associated with connecting to a 401(k) provider?
It depends on your 401(k) provider. If you choose to use our partnership provider with 401GO there is no additional connection or integration fees. However, if you have an existing 401(k) provider, or choose a provider other than 401GO, then we support the integration through Pay (K)onnect which has a nominal integration fee. More information on costs can be provided by your Auris account team.
How does Auris work with my current 401(k) provider?
Auris connects your provider to payroll so employee contribution elections and changes flow directly into payroll processing.
Deductions update automatically. Effective dates stay aligned. Reporting remains consistent across systems.
What types of 401(k) deductions can Auris manage?
Auris supports:
- Pre-tax contributions
- Roth contributions
- Employer match tracking
- Loan repayments
All processed through payroll with accurate calculations.
Does Auris support compliance for retirement plans?
Auris keeps payroll data and retirement deductions aligned, which helps maintain clean records for reporting and audits.
While your 401(k) provider manages the plan itself, Auris helps ensure payroll-side data remains accurate and defensible.
Can Auris handle growing teams and more complex scenarios?
Yes. As your workforce grows, eligibility rules, contribution variations, and reporting requirements increase. Auris is built to absorb that complexity by keeping retirement and payroll connected through one employee record.
What is the biggest advantage of managing 401(k) through Auris?
Certainty. You offer the benefit to attract and retain talent. Auris keeps contributions aligned with payroll so you don’t have to double-check whether everything matches. Retirement plans build trust with employees. Integration builds confidence for you.
