“We chose Melody Benefits because of their reputation”
Dovi Greenberger Administrator Four Seasons HCS
“We looked at the different companies out there. With Melody, their reputation precedes them. They do things the right way, a way that benefits both employees and employers. With the other company, it was like “Here’s your bill. Pay it. Goodbye.” With Melody, we know there’s the communication…Melody has a portal where I can go see exactly where employees are spending, how they are spending, what they’re spending it on. That helps me understand what my employees need and what they want.”
Home care admins tell other admins about Melody Benefits.
They say we know the ins and outs of wage parity better than anyone.
(Good reason: we’ve been doing this as long as wage parity has been around.)

“Easy to work with”
“At the end of the month, the payroll company automatically sends a report to the team at Melody Benefits. They input that report and send me an invoice. They’re easy to work with. They have a system set up. They know the wage parity guidelines… for the purpose of following legal guidelines and having a smooth transaction, I definitely recommend them.“

Still wondering if you should work with Melody Benefits? Let's break your options down.
Don't work with Melody Benefits
- Blindly trust just about any wage-parity-bandwagon brand — putting your compliance in the hands of novices.
- Save a dime by cutting corners with employee benefits — and risk criminal penalties because your benefits vendor doesn’t know what it doesn’t know.
- Have your vendor tell you, “Of course you can have a report!” — but be forced to wait WEEKS just to see your own numbers.
- Experience the terror and distress of finding your organization inadequately prepared for a DOH audit.

“A full understanding of wage parity law”
“Other vendors are trying to get us, but we’re comfortable with Melody. They know the ins and outs, know the wage parity laws, what’s a benefit and what’s not. Sit down and talk with them and you’ll see for yourself. Ask them questions. They have a full understanding of wage parity law. “
