Benefits administration software, handled by a real team
We handle your group benefits administration so you can focus on your people. From initiating enrolments, to coordinating extension of benefits requests and everything in between, we’ll take the redundant tasks off your hand, while still, you’ll have everything you need to offer competitive benefits to your employees. We make benefits as rewarding as they should be.
The Benefits+
advantage
One entry in your HR platform, handled end to end
Add a new hire, process a termination or update a salary in your HR platform and our team actions it in your carrier portal the same day. You update once. We handle the rest.
Every new hire enrolled on time
The enrolment window is a compliance risk most businesses don’t catch until it’s too late. Our team initiates every new hire enrolment at onboarding and tracks outstanding ones – sending reminders until each one is confirmed.
Employees manage their own changes, digitally
Employees update their own coverage directly in their benefits module – adding dependants, updating coordination of benefits or designating beneficiaries. They submit, you approve, our team actions it with the carrier. No paper forms.
Every change checked by a benefits expert
Self-serve tools pass your changes straight through to the carrier, leaving margins for errors. With Benefits+, a Benefits Experience Manager reviews every request first – catching things like ineligible dependents before they reach your carrier.
We watch your data for risks
Benefits+ doesn’t just wait for you to flag a change. If a salary updates in HR but not with the carrier, our team actions it so disability claims aren’t paid at the wrong rate. And if an employee’s hours drop below the eligibility threshold, the system flags it so you can address it before it becomes a compliance issue.
Works with your existing broker
Benefits+ works alongside your current plan and carrier – no broker switch required. Or combine it with Employment Hero’s licensed advisory team for plan design, benchmarking and renewals in one place.

A benefits package that grows with you
Just as your business evolves, so should your benefits. Our experts stay ahead of the curve to keep your offerings fresh and competitive.
Less admin as you add people
Whether you hire ten people or a hundred, each benefits change is still one update in your HR platform. Our team takes on the enrolments, changes and terminations with your carrier, so the carrier admin doesn’t pile up as your team grows.
Cover for every stage of employment
New hires, salary changes, leaves of absence, rehires and terminations all create benefits admin. Benefits+ handles the carrier side at each stage, so the moments that used to mean extra work are already taken care of.
Built for Canadian carriers
Benefits+ works across major Canadian carriers including Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife and Desjardins. As your plan changes, your administration stays in one place and keeps pace.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about Benefits+ benefits administration software.
Benefits+ is a managed service that takes the admin of your group benefits plan off your plate. When something changes in your Employment OS – a new hire, termination or salary update – our Benefits Experience team logs into your carrier portal and actions it for you. You update once. We handle the rest.
No. Benefits+ works with your existing group benefits plan and your existing broker. If you want to combine it with Employment Hero’s licensed advisory team for plan design, renewal and benchmarking, that option is available too. See Employee Group Benefits Brokerage services for more.
If a new hire misses their enrolment window, they’re classified as a late applicant and typically need to go through medical underwriting to get coverage. Benefits+ initiates new hire enrolments as part of onboarding and sends reminders on outstanding enrolments so that window is never missed.
Enrolments, terminations, salary changes, dependent additions or removals, extension of benefits, rehires, leaves of absence and profile updates like legal name or address and more. All actioned in your carrier portal by our Benefits Experience team.
Benefits+ supports major Canadian carriers including Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, GroupSource, Equitable, Empire Life, BenefitsbyDesign, Medavie Blue Cross, RBC, Alberta Blue Cross, Victor, Desjardins and Simply Benefits. myHSA is supported as a health spending account alongside one of these insured plans. Get in touch to confirm your carrier.
When you manage benefits manually, you log into a separate carrier portal every time anything changes in HR. Benefits+ removes that. Changes in your Employment OS become tasks our team handles in your carrier portal the same day – you action once, we do the rest.
