BenefitElect Integration

BenefitElect is a benefits package program for temporary employees within the staffing industry. With this integration, employee adjustments are setup with automatic communication between BenefitElect and Enterprise. This document will walk users through the processes and responsibilities when working with BenefitElect as well as TempWorks.

This article covers:

1. Integration Setup
2. Enterprise Setup
3. Logging Report

Integration Setup

A majority of the setup process will be handled by TempWorks. This includes the addition of the integration along with the creation and automatic execution of the import/export files. Users will be responsible for setting up the initial adjustments and ensuring the BenefitElect adjustment mappings are setup correctly.

By working with the TempWorks Implementation team, the following will be completed:

• BenefitElect integration will be added within your system.
• Ability to map adjustments within Enterprise to BenefitElect will be added.
• Import/export files will be added and setup to automatically run the night in which the week has been closed.
• BenefitElect logging report will be added.

Enterprise Setup

Once the integration has been added within your system, and the initial adjustments have been added within Enterprise, those adjustments will need to be mapped to BenefitElect tiers to ensure they are being utilized as intended.

1. To begin the adjustment mapping process, navigate to Enterprise > All Options > Administration > Dropdowns and select 'BenefitElect Adj Mappings'.
   
2. Select the '+' icon at the top right to add a drop down data entry.
   
   • Within this new line, you will see the following columns:
     • ID: An identification number used only on the TempWorks side.
     • Hierarchy: The hierarchy in which the adjustment/mapping is set to. This is automatically set as the hierarchy in which the integration was added within your system.
       • *Note* that if the hierarchy is attempted to be modified, the line is unable to be saved as shown via the red box within the following screenshot:
         
     • Plan Name: The type of coverage the employee will be receiving (dental, vision, etc.).
     • Tier: Who the plan will be covering (employee, employee + spouse, etc.).
     • Adjustment Type: Corresponds to an adjustment currently setup within Enterprise.
3. Using the information you have received from BenefitElect, modify the Plan Name, Tier, and Adjustment Type to fit the requirements of that adjustment mapping to BenefitElect.
   • *Note* You cannot have more than one line item with the same Plan Name, Tier, and Adjustment Type.
4. Continue to add lines using the '+' icon and modifying the Plan Name, Tier, and Adjustment Type to fit the requirements of the adjustment mappings to BenefitElect.
   
5. After all of the adjustment mappings have been added and configured correctly, select the  icon at the top left to save your changes.

Once the mappings are saved, the import/export of information between TempWorks and BenefitElect will run automatically every night in which the week has been closed.
