Employer.com will revive Bench 's platform and provide instructions for customers to login and obtain their data, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.

The startup's abrupt shutdown on Friday caused chaos, with customers locked out of their accounts right as tax season is set to begin.

Bench employed more than 600 people, according to its website, some of whom posted on LinkedIn that they were now looking for work.
