Also, in 1982, New York City newspaper The Village Voice became the first private employer to offer domestic partner health care benefits. Many other companies and municipalities followed suit. Fast forward to more than 30 years later when, in 2015, the United States Supreme Court ruled that domestic partner benefits apply to both same-sex and unmarried opposite-sex couples....Banker

Communicating Benefits to a Multigenerational Workforce
Your clients spend $11.60/hr. (on average) per employee on benefits, which represents a huge investment for small and mid-sized businesses (Bureau of Labor Statistics). But as you know, there’s also an investment of time; think of the many hours you spend guiding your clients through the process of crafting a benefits strategy that addresses the needs of the 5 generations in the workforce. But here’s the problem: if a tree falls in the woods, does anyone hear it? If open enrollment is confusing for your clients, imagine how their employees feel.

How (the Wrong) HR Technology Makes Open Enrollment Harder
Tell your clients that “buyer beware” definitely applies to benefits administration software. Capterra, an online software review site, features 300 ben admin systems as of 2019, and only 7 providers with more than 300 reviews are rated 4.5 stars or higher. (Not to brag, but Paycor’s benefits technology is one of those seven.) That means there’s a lot of bad technology out there. But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what a Capterra user had to say about a well-known benefits administration provider: "Our provider failed to execute open enrollment, so employees were not enrolled with the new health insurance provider for weeks into the new year. They failed to cancel our old health insurance, so we were doubled billed. Overall, it seems...

Get ExpertiseOpen Enrollment and Benefits Administration
Simply defined, employee benefits are any form of non-cash compensation beyond a regular salary or wage that employers offer their workforce. There are some benefits that employers are required to provide by law, such as making payments on an employee’s behalf for unemployment, Medicare and Social Security. And there are other benefits that employees have come to expect, such as health insurance and paid time off. Organizations looking to lead the pack will often promote “benefits in kind” such as telecommuting, flexible schedules or wellness programs in order to differentiate themselves from the competition.
But anyone in HR can tell you, there’s nothing simple about benefits. From stressful open enrollment periods to endless employee questions, benefits administration is no joke. Finding the right HR partner who can streamline the process and help educate your employees on their benefits options is crucial. Paycor offers the technology and expertise you need to simplify open enrollment while analyzing the real-time data you need in order to maximize the value of your benefits program.
