Once benefits are configured, you assign them to employees. Benefits can be assigned directly to employees or through employee templates.
Assigning Benefits to Employees

- For each benefit you want to assign:
- Select the employee or employee template
- Choose the appropriate Coverage option
Note
You can only assign benefits where the Assignable field is set to Yes. Benefits that inherit from other benefits receive their assignments automatically.

icon, enter Employees, and then choose the related link. - Select an employee and choose Benefits or Benefit Assignments.
- The list shows all benefits assigned to the employee and their selected coverage.
Understanding Benefit Assignments
Benefit Assignments link benefits to employees or employee templates. Each assignment specifies:
- Which benefit is assigned
- What coverage the employee has selected
- Whether the assignment is directly to an employee or inherited from an employee template
Tip
Using employee templates for benefit assignments can reduce administrative effort when managing benefits for large groups of employees with similar benefit packages.
