BerniePortal overview

What is BerniePortal?

BerniePortal is a cloud-based HR platform for small and mid-sized employers that offers the tools to address every stage of the employee lifecycle. With features such as applicant tracking, onboarding, benefits administration, time and attendance, PTO tracking, and 1094-C/1095-C reporting, users are able to manage all of their HR needs using a single solution.

BerniePortal’s tools for applicant tracking help organizations find the best fit recruits through a seamless candidate workflow. Users are able to create custom job postings and communicate with candidates via the online portal, as well as collaborate with all hiring decision makers by sharing candidate applications, internal feedback, and sending messages. BerniePortal also includes W-4s, W-9s, I-9s, customizable forms and agreements to speed up offers and finalize onboarding. Organizations can eliminate paperwork by onboarding employees online from any location, as well as track new hires and send reminders using the dashboard tool.

With BerniePortal, organizations can offer more benefits strategies and funding options to employees, as well as increase their understanding with informational tools such as videos, descriptions, links, and more, embedded directly into the benefits election process. Companies can also edit benefit settings, review pending coverages, view outstanding benefits enrollments, and more, and employees can enroll, manage and access their employee benefits at anytime.

PTO tracking tools allow users to streamline requests and approvals complete with notifications which are sent to the employer whenever an employee requests time off. BerniePortal also helps users to accurately track employee work hours with features for clock in & out, timesheets and attendance, as well as dashboard tools which provide users with insight into the overall performance across the organization. BerniePortal integrates with multiple carrier and payroll providers including ADP, Proliant, and Paycor.

    What do users say about BerniePortal?

    Users say BerniePortal simplifies employee management and benefits enrollment, making it easy to track HR tasks, onboard staff, and centralize information. They find the platform intuitive and user-friendly, with most employees able to navigate it quickly, though some mention issues for those less tech-savvy or without computer access. They appreciate responsive customer support and helpful onboarding assistance. Reporting and customization options are valued but often described as limited or cumbersome.

    Reviewers indicate that open enrollment is faster and more organized, but they experience glitches, bugs, and occasional errors with time tracking, payroll integration, and updates. They report that the interface feels outdated and wish for more robust reporting, easier navigation, and improved flexibility in features.
