What is benefits administration software?
Benefits administration software like Workstream manages employee benefit enrollment, eligibility tracking, carrier enrollment, and payroll deduction calculations inside one system. It replaces manual spreadsheets, paper enrollment forms, and disconnected broker-managed workflows. For hourly businesses, benefits software also needs to support mobile enrollment, ACA eligibility tracking, and direct payroll integration so deductions stay accurate every pay period.
What benefits can be administered through a platform like Workstream?
Benefits administration platforms like Workstream can manage medical, dental, vision, 401(k), HSA/FSA, life insurance, disability, accident coverage, workers’ compensation, and state disability insurance benefits. Benefit elections, eligibility tracking, and payroll deductions all flow through the same platform, helping operators avoid deduction errors caused by disconnected payroll and benefits systems.
How does open enrollment work in benefits software?
Open enrollment in benefits software allows employees to review and select benefit plans directly from their phone during the enrollment window. Workstream lets operators configure plan options, employee cost sharing, and eligibility groups inside the platform. Once employees complete enrollment, payroll deductions update automatically on the effective date without requiring manual HR data entry.
Does benefits software handle ACA tracking and 1095-C filing?
Benefits software like Workstream can handle ACA tracking and 1095-C filing by monitoring employee eligibility and generating required IRS forms automatically. For applicable large employers with 50 or more full-time equivalent employees under IRC §4980H, Workstream tracks measurement periods, stability periods, and administrative periods to determine ACA eligibility. The platform also generates 1094-C and 1095-C filings at year-end to help operators stay compliant and avoid ACA penalties.
Can employees self-enroll in benefits on their phone?
Employees can self-enroll in benefits on their phone through mobile benefits administration platforms like Workstream. Employees can enroll in plans, review current elections, view payroll deductions, and submit qualifying life event changes directly from their device without needing HR assistance or desktop access. This is especially important for hourly workforces where most employees do not regularly use computers at work.
What carriers does benefits administration software integrate with?
Benefits administration software integrates with major medical, dental, vision, and retirement carriers through EDI and API integrations. Workstream connects with existing carrier relationships during implementation, allowing operators to keep their current benefit plans instead of changing providers. The platform adapts to the operator’s existing benefits structure while syncing enrollment and payroll deduction data automatically.
