Triton Human Resource Management | Payroll Online Processing

Having over 18 years of experience in the field of human resources, I have had my share of brokers who over promise and under deliver. I have had no such experience with Triton. We transitioned a very complex set of companies from a large nationally known brokerage house to Triton. We immediately received more personal, thorough and detailed service from Triton than we received in our two years with our past firm.

The Triton staff has been fantastic, personable and knowledgeable. The issues and concerns we have in our business are varied and multi layered and yet Triton has found answers or provided insights on every situation with which we contacted them. I truly consider Triton to be an extension of our Human Resources Department and for that I am grateful. I can think of no other vendor partner relationship that I trust more than Triton. Our company continues to grow and change; I need the flexibility and ability to change on a dime. Triton and its people have the sense of urgency and follow through that was lacking in my previous experience.

Along with the 2014 longer term changes of the health reform, key reforms which take place in the short term after President Obama signs the law include:

1. SMALL BUSINESS TAX CREDITS-- Offers tax credits to small businesses to make employee coverage more affordable. Tax credits of up to 35 percent of premiums will be immediately available to firms that choose to offer coverage. Effective beginning for calendar year 2010. (Beginning in 2014, the small business tax credits will cover 50 percent of premiums.)

2. BEGINS TO CLOSE THE MEDICARE PART D DONUT HOLE-- Provides a $250 rebate to Medicare beneficiaries who hit the donut hole in 2010. Effective for calendar year 2010. (Beginning in 2011, institutes a 50% discount on brand-name drugs in the donut hole; also completely closes the donut hole by 2020.)

3. FREE PREVENTIVE CARE UNDER MEDICARE-- Eliminates co-payments for preventive services and exempts preventive services from deductibles under the Medicare program. Effective beginning January 1, 2011.

4. HELP FOR EARLY RETIREES-- Creates a temporary re-insurance program (until the Exchanges are available) to help offset the costs of expensive health claims for employers that provide health benefits for retirees age 55-64. Effective 90 days after enactment

5. ENDS RESCISSIONS-- Bans health plans from dropping people from coverage when they get sick. Effective 6 months after enactment.

6. NO DISCRIMINATON AGAINST CHILDREN WITH PRE-EXISTING CONDITIONS-- Prohibits health plans from denying coverage to children with pre-existing conditions. Effective 6 months after enactment. (Beginning in 2014, this prohibition would apply to all persons.)

7. BANS LIFETIME LIMITS ON COVERAGE-- Prohibits health plans from placing lifetime caps on coverage. Effective 6 months after enactment.

8. BANS RESTRICTIVE ANNUAL LIMITS ON COVERAGE-- Tightly restricts new plans' use of annual limits to ensure access to needed care. These tight restrictions will be defined by HHS. Effective 6 months after enactment. (Beginning in 2014, the use of any annual limits would be prohibited for all plans.)
