BambooHR has partnered with Employee Navigator to create a two-way integration between benefits enrolment and payroll systems. The partnership automatically synchronises employee demographic data, benefit deductions, and employer contributions between both platforms, eliminating duplicate data entry. The integration addresses a common challenge where brokers and employers must manually enter the same information across multiple systems, which creates administrative burdens and potential data discrepancies. Employee demographic data from new hires in BambooHR flows automatically into Employee Navigator, whilst deduction data from open enrolment and life events transfers directly to BambooHR Payroll. Employee Navigator serves more than 200,000 companies and 7,000 brokers nationwide, connecting to over 600 insurance carriers, payroll companies, and third-party administrators.

Integration between BambooHR and Employee Navigator keeps payroll deductions current through open enrollment, new hire enrollment, and qualifying life events. October 01, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: BambooHR, LLC DRAPER, Utah, Oct. 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - BambooHR(R), the leading People Intelligence Platform for small and mid-sized businesses, today announced a partnership with Employee Navigator, a leading benefits administration, HR and compliance software provider, to give brokers and employers a two-way connection between benefits enrollment and payroll. Through the partnership, employee demographic data, benefit deductions, and employer contributions move automatically between the two systems, so that the same information does not have to be entered twice. Brokers and employers often spend significant time entering and updating the same employee information across multiple systems. Beyond the added administrative work, these manual processes can lead to delays and data discrepancies. The BambooHR Employee Navigator integration reduces that duplicate entry by keeping both systems working from the same information. "Benefits are one of the highest-stakes decisions a business makes, and for most small and mid-sized companies, a broker is how that decision actually gets executed," said Brian Crofts, Chief Product Officer at BambooHR. "Some employers manage benefits themselves, and BambooHR's benefits administration is built for them. Many others rely on a broker, and until now that meant benefits and payroll lived in two systems. This partnership with Employee Navigator closes that gap - the data stays in sync automatically, giving the employer more options between their broker and their HR platform." Employee Navigator is used by more than 200,000 companies and 7,000 brokers nationwide and connects to over 600 insurance carriers, payroll companies, and TPAs. For employers whose broker already administers benefits there, the integration adds the payroll connection without changing how benefits are managed. "Benefits administration works best when it's connected to the other systems brokers and employers rely on every day," said George Reese, CEO of Employee Navigator. "Our integration with BambooHR eliminates duplicate data entry between benefits and payroll, so our customers can spend less time on manual updates and more time taking care of their employees." What syncs between BambooHR and Employee Navigator: * Employee demographic data: New hires set up in BambooHR flow into Employee Navigator automatically, including Cost Centers mapped to the corresponding Class structures or Employment types. * Benefit deductions and employer contributions: Employee Navigator sends deduction data from open enrollment, new hire enrollment, and qualifying life events directly into BambooHR Payroll. * Ongoing updates: Changes made in either system carry to the other, so Employee Navigator works from current information when determining benefit eligibility.

The BambooHR Employee Navigator integration is a two-way connection between BambooHR and Employee Navigator that keeps employee records, benefit deductions, and employer contributions in sync across both systems. It is built for brokers and employers who administer benefits in Employee Navigator and run HR and payroll in BambooHR. Do I need BambooHR Payroll to use the Employee Navigator integration? Not for all of it. Syncing employee demographic data between BambooHR and Employee Navigator does not require BambooHR Payroll, but syncing benefit deductions and employer contributions into payroll runs does. When do benefit deductions update in BambooHR? Employee Navigator sends benefit deduction and employer contribution data to BambooHR after open enrollment, new hire enrollment, and qualifying life events. Those updates flow into BambooHR Payroll so the next payroll run reflects current elections. How do I turn on the Employee Navigator and BambooHR integration? In the BambooHR platform, administrators enable the integration from Settings > Apps, choose whether to sync demographic data only or include payroll data, then set up deduction codes and connect the two accounts. In the Employee Navigator platform, the account owner or approved administrator of the company enables the integration from Payroll > Connect Your Payroll Platform, which will then re-direct them to BambooHR for login and authorization. Where can I see benefit deductions once the integration is connected? Employee plans, deduction amounts, employer contributions, frequencies, and effective dates are viewable and searchable on dedicated pages and reports inside BambooHR, without logging into Employee Navigator separately.
