Viewing the Current Benefit Summary in HRS
Overview
The Benefits Summary page allows Benefit Administrators a snapshot view of the benefits an employee is enrolled in as of today's date. This information can be useful not only for counseling employees, but can also be used (via dual screens or printed) to ensure all benefits remain in place as expected when reprocessing Events.Process Considerations:
- The Benefit Summary will provide you with a summary of an employee's current benefit selections only. It will not provide you with information about past or future elections.
