ESS Administrator - Benefit Enrollment Approval

Benefit Enrollment Approval Log; standard Treeview path: Employee Self-Service > Manager Self Service > Benefit Enrollment Approval

Benefit and deduction elections that have been submitted through the Open Enrollment screen can be approved or rejected by administrators in the Benefit Enrollment Approval screen (formerly Open Enrollment Approval).

If the request is approved, the benefits and deductions are elected for the employee and the Human Resources and US Payroll modules are updated. The Election By Employee and Election by Plans screens in HR should be updated, and the Employee Benefits Maintenance and Employee Deductions Maintenance screens in Payroll should be updated.If the request is rejected, it is removed from the the Benefit Enrollment Approval screen and the employee should make more changes in the Open Enrollment screen and then resubmit.

An email notification is sent to the email address specified on the Employee Profile when the request is approved or rejected.

The Updated By column allows administrators to identify the user who saved, submitted, rejected, reviewed, or approved the request. All actions are stored in an audit table for each request, including the action, date, time, and user, if the record was impersonated.
