Process steps

Create benefits program

5 days from previous step

task

Set up the core benefits package for this employee. Review their employment type (full-time, part-time, contract) because it determines which benefits theyre eligible for. Dont forget to check whether theyve got any pre-existing coverage that might overlap with what we offer. Document everything in the HR system before moving forward.

Enroll new employee in the program

5 days from previous step

task

Add the employee to all applicable benefit plans they selected during onboarding. This includes health insurance, dental, vision, and any voluntary benefits like life insurance. Make sure their dependents are listed correctly if they chose family coverage. The enrollment window is usually tight, so get this done within the first 30 days.

Verify with carriers and process invoices

5 days from previous step

task

Contact your benefits providers to confirm the employee has been added to their systems. Double-check that premiums are calculated correctly based on the coverage level selected. Process any invoices from the carriers and reconcile them against your payroll deductions. If something looks off, flag it now rather than finding out three months later.

Send benefits welcome package

1 day from previous step

task

Put together a welcome kit that explains how to use their benefits. Include the insurance cards (or explain when they will arrive), provider contact numbers, and the claims process. Nobody wants to figure this stuff out when they are actually sick. Give them a quick reference guide they can keep at their desk.

Set up payroll deductions

1 day from previous step

task

Configure the payroll system to deduct the employee share of premiums from their paycheck. Pre-tax deductions for health insurance need special coding, so make sure your payroll provider knows which benefits qualify. Verify the amounts match what the employee agreed to during enrollment. A mistake here causes headaches for everyone.

Schedule benefits orientation

1 day from previous step

task

Book a 30-minute session to walk the employee through their benefits. Most people skim the paperwork and miss important details like FSA deadlines or wellness program perks. Cover the basics: how to find a doctor, what needs pre-authorization, and who to call when there is an issue. Answer their questions now while the information is fresh.

Complete enrollment audit

1 day from previous step

task

Run a final check to make sure everything matches up. Compare the employee selections to what is in the carrier system, payroll, and HR records. All three should show the same plans, coverage levels, and effective dates. Fix any discrepancies before they turn into bigger problems down the road.
