Insurance policies available through Ten 250 Corporation, dba SimplyInsured, pursuant to its licenses. Neither Toast, Inc., nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, sells or underwrites insurance. However, Toast Insurance Services, Inc. (“TIS”) maintains various and may receive compensation in connection with policies purchased through SimplyInsured. Not all applicants may qualify. Coverage examples are for illustrative purposes only. Your policy documents govern, terms & exclusions apply.

Deductions-Only

All Toast Payroll customers (Essential or Pro) can use the benefit management system. If you are happy with your current enrollment process, you can continue to maintain your benefit elections externally by recording benefit directly deductions in Toast Payroll.

To utilize this option:

• If you are new to Toast Payroll, work with your Onboarding Consultant to add the correct deduction codes to your system.
• If you're already a Toast Payroll customer, but are configuring your externally-managed benefits for the first time, fill out for any applicable deduction codes that need to be created in your system (e.g. medical, vision, dental) and send it to us via the blue chat dot in the lower-right corner of any Toast Payroll page.
• Once the correct benefit deduction codes are in your Toast Payroll system, you will apply the relevant to eligible employees.

This method does not: 

• Track employee benefit eligibility and enrollment in Toast Payroll. To do so, you would have to compare your employee's deductions to your external benefits provider.
• Calculate the per pay period deduction amount that you would need to pay your benefits broker or plan.

If you have any additional questions, contact us via the blue chat dot in the lower-right corner of any Toast Payroll page.
