BerniePortal also offers 1094-C/1095-C mailing and filing services as well as COBRA administration services. BerniePortal is an employee self-service platform that allows employees to onboard, enroll in benefits, clock in and out, review and sign notices, request PTO and access personal data remotely.

Layout is easy to use and easy to navigate. > > **Cons**: The system has a lot of potential but the look and feel of the program are old and extremely outdated. If some upgrades were made it would be great. > > I've been using BerniePortal for a little over a year to track our benefit enrollments, etc. If it would get some upgrades I'd use it much more often. ----- ### "Good but not Great for HR departments" — 4.0/5 > **RODERICK** | *18 March 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: Good HR based platform to help organize personnel matters. > > **Cons**: More communication for employees and administration so everyone is updated on system changes. > > Good portal for HR but needs to offer more features like payroll. ----- ### "Bernie Portal Review" — 3.0/5 > **Thomas** | *18 July 2019* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love the interface of Bernie Portal and how easy it is for our company and our clients to use. Additionally, the fact that Bernie Portal "builds" and implements our group clients takes that large burden off of us to focus more on sales. > > **Cons**: There are a lot of functions Bernie Portal does not offer at all, or other systems offer better. Bernie Portal does not allow different hour eligibility requirements. They do not have a measurement period feature. Recently, Bernie Portal also increased prices for "add on features" so much that we are having difficulty passing this cost onto our clients. Previously the rates were reasonable, now the add on features are extremely expensive. > > We have made tremendous strides with Administering Bernie Portal internally for our comapny and for our clients. Our new rep,has been nothing but extraordinary to work with. He never takes long to answer, and treats each one of our clients with a sense of urgency, just like we do. We have had our struggles depending on the complexity of the group, but overall we are satisfied with Bernie Portal's software ----- ### "Open Enrollment 2019 -" — 4.0/5 > **Kristen** | *29 November 2018* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: For the most part the software is a great tool for open enrollment. It is quick and most employees could elect their benefits without any problems. > > **Cons**: As the Benefits Administrator I am receiving a lot of feedback from employees that once you get to Step 3 (the page that encompasses all the benefit elections) doesn't auto generate to the next benefit. Employees have been confused by the fact that you hit "save and continue" and there is a check mark next to the benefit but they can't actually see the benefit because it is higher on the page and you would have to scroll up to confirm you have elected that benefit. I would also like to recommend that benefits that are available to employees that are no cost to them be put somewhere other than the benefit tab. It is confusing to employees to see STD and LTD listed at zero cost to them. I understand it is a benefit that is offered by the employer and they should be aware of it but it is confusing when you are making an election for something that you don't contribute to. I appreciate you asking benefit administrators for their feedback. I know it makes the software better and ultimately a better experience for the employees. :) ----- ### "Fantastic Team" — 5.0/5 > **Jennifer** | *11 December 2018* | Insurance | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The total customer experience definitely exceeds expectations. If we have suggestions on how to improve our team is very responsive and listens to our suggestions and usually implements them very quickly. > > **Cons**: Some of the employees are our groups don't have access to a computer so they find it difficult to navigate. ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/68069/bernie-portal?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/68069/bernie-portal) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
