Manage Open Enrollment Elections

After employees have completed their open enrollment benefits elections changes in Employee Self Service (ESS), you can use this screen to view, change, confirm, or approve these elections for each employee.

After you approve elections in this screen or in the Approve ESS Benefit Elections by Plan screen, and uploaded them into Costpoint (using the Activate Pending ESS Benefits Elections screen), you can modify benefits information for employees in the Manage Employee Benefit Elections screen. Administrators can also use this screen to view and edit dependents' elections and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) information.

Review the data in this application when an employee completes the open enrollment process in ESS. An employee’s open enrollment benefit elections must be approved before they can be selected for activation in the Activate Pending Benefit Elections screen.

When the employee has benefit options and an enrollment that is not confirmed, the application adds benefit enrollments to the Self Service Tasks (ESS_TASKS) table. The application inserts records when you open the application and when you save your changes on the screen.

When you open the screen, the application removes expired employee benefit enrollments from the Self Service Tasks (ESS_TASKS) table.
