Background: Currently Augusta GA’s HR Department is answering the vast majority of employee calls and inquiries that should and could otherwise be handled by ADP. Augusta GA has not seen a return on investment in that we have not fully utilized the maximum number of call intake by ADP pursuant to the current contract (largely in part due to the fact that employees prefer to contact HR rather than ADP). USI is capable and ready to assume full responsibility of this process which could save Augusta Ga potentially approximately $80,000 annually. In 2014, ADP did not offer the opportunity to Augusta GA to carve out the Participant Call Center services. The only option was to maintain the current contract as established or cancel the entire Health and Welfare contract. On September 4, 2015, ADP provided the option to Augusta GA to carve out the Participant Call Center reducing the contract from $344,068.51 to $263,631.60 for 2016. Analysis: It would be cost effective to Augusta GA if this function was maintained by USI which provides consulting services for our Health and Welfare contracts. Financial Impact: It would be in the best interest of Augusta GA to use the USI Benefit Resource Center which could save Augusta approximately $80,000 annually. This is advantageous for the following reasons: 1). Augusta GA is currently paying USI for the Benefit Resource Center service, however, it is not being utilized. USI is very familiar with Augusta GA’s Health and Welfare plans. 2). The potential ROI could save Augusta Ga approximately $80,000 annually. Alternatives: Continue to allow ADP to provide Health and Wellness Services and continue to incur cost of approximately $344,068.51 with no ROI, or proceed with cancelling the contract and bring all services in-house.
