Overview of the Benefits Hub

The Benefits Hub is where you can view details about the benefits offered to your team members.

Here’s what you’ll find:

• Which benefits are offered to each team member.
• The enrollment status for each benefit (enrolled, waived, or offered).
• The last known monthly cost for each benefit.

4. Click on the eye icon to include or exclude certain fields in the table.

6. Click on any row to open a drawer with a detailed breakdown of an employee’s benefits offer, including their enrollment choices and the total company cost for their benefits.
   

   Note: Please be aware that our benefit providers may take up to 70 days to confirm the enrollment of employees, particularly for new joiners.
