With this release, administrators can set up two types of automation for benefits with new hires.

Go to BENEFIT_PLANS > Plan Setup tab > Rules > Enrollment Rules section.
For the Participation field, select Required, which will show the new Auto-Enroll New Hires field and populate it.
Select ON for the new field. The feature will automatically enroll a new hire into the default coverage of the plan with an Effective Date equal to their hire date.
- You must select Required from the Participation field.
- You can set the Default Coverage from the Eligibility tab.

When a new hire is enrolled with this feature:

Enrollment will show 0 rates. You must run UBCALC/UBCLOZ or Payroll to reflect the correct rates.
If dependents or beneficiaries are required, the new hire will still be enrolled, but you will have to add those to the enrollment after.

Select New Hire for the Event Type. The new Auto-Creation of Event for New Hires field will show and populate.
Select ON for the new field. The feature will automatically create the event for a new hire.

This feature will create an open enrollment event for a new hire.

You must select Allow Auto Open Enrollment from the Additional Settings field.
Administrators and employees can access the open enrollment from the Unified Dashboard.
Administrators and employees will not see a life/work event on the Unified Dashboard.

Note: For help with this feature and assistance with plan updates, contact your NEOGOV representative.
