AThe short answer
Workzoom benefits administration software manages open enrollment, plan elections, life event changes, and the deductions that follow. It automates enrollment from eligibility rules, lets employees make elections through a self-service portal, processes life event changes, and sends every benefit deduction straight to payroll. Because benefits administration software is built into the HRIS, there are no paper enrollment forms, keeping deductions accurate for employers with 50 to 5,000 employees.

The real problem
03 pain points
Where benefits administration breaks down today
The cycle takes weeks, the re-entry introduces errors, and employees compare plans without good information.
The Workzoom answer
Workzoom Benefits offers self-serve enrollment with side-by-side plan comparison. The whole cycle runs in days and new deductions apply to the next pay run automatically.
Payroll Suite
Elections become payroll deductions with no carrier feed to reconcile.
Every Workzoom suite runs on one employee record, so benefits stays current with payroll, HR, workforce, and talent without an export or an integration to maintain.
Benefits
Why Benefits?
Open Enrollment in Days, Not Weeks
Self-serve enrollment with side-by-side plan comparison replaces weeks of printing packets and re-keying elections. The entire enrollment cycle runs in days, and new deductions apply to the next pay run automatically when the window closes.
Deductions That Calculate Themselves
Contribution formulas configured during plan setup calculate every deduction automatically for every pay run. Mid-period changes prorate correctly and pre-tax and post-tax treatments apply based on plan configuration without anyone doing the math.
One System for Benefits and Payroll
Because benefits and payroll share the same database, there is no file to export, no carrier feed to reconcile manually, and no risk of a deduction discrepancy between systems. Enrollment changes flow to the next pay run the moment they are submitted.
How it works
How benefits administration software runs in production.
01
PLAN CONFIGURATION
Configure any benefit plan type with eligibility and contribution rules
Workzoom supports unlimited plan types including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, RRSP, and health spending accounts. Each plan has its own eligibility rules, contribution formulas, coverage tiers, and waiting periods configured once and applied automatically from there.
- Unlimited plan types: medical, dental, vision, life, RRSP, and more
- Employer and employee contribution splits configured per plan
- Eligibility rules and waiting periods enforced automatically
- Coverage tier changes sync to payroll deductions automatically
02
OPEN ENROLLMENT
Employees compare plans side by side and enroll through self-service
Workzoom's open enrollment is fully self-serve. Employees see every plan they are eligible for with coverage details, cost breakdowns, and comparison tools, then complete elections and add dependents in minutes without paper forms or HR re-entry.
- Side-by-side plan comparison with employee cost and coverage details
- Dependent and beneficiary management through self-service
- Enrollment window notifications sent automatically to eligible employees
- New elections take effect and deductions update on the next pay run
03
LIFE EVENT ENROLLMENT
Life events trigger eligibility updates and re-enrollment instantly
Workzoom handles mid-year benefit changes triggered by life events like marriage, a new child, or an address change. Employees update their own records through self-service and the system triggers benefit eligibility updates and deduction recalculations automatically.
- Life events trigger benefit eligibility reviews automatically
- Employees update records through self-service for marriage, dependents, and more
- Mid-period enrollment with automatic proration of deductions
- Silvera for Seniors manages 400 employees across 36 buildings this way
04
PAYROLL DEDUCTIONS
Benefit deductions calculate and apply to every pay run automatically
Workzoom connects benefits enrollment directly to payroll through one shared database. When an employee enrolls in a plan, the deduction amount calculates from the plan's contribution formula and applies to their payroll record automatically. Cable Bahamas uses this for 850 employees every pay cycle.
- Automated deduction calculations from plan contribution formulas
- Mid-period proration for enrollments that begin outside the pay period
- Pre-tax and post-tax benefit handling based on plan configuration
- No spreadsheet handoff between benefits and payroll
05
DEPENDANTS AND BENEFICIARIES
Employees list dependants and name beneficiaries in self-service
Employees add and update their dependants and name beneficiaries through self-service, and see each plan's price when they opt in or out, so coverage records and elections stay current without paper forms.
- Dependant and beneficiary listing maintained through employee self-service
- Plan prices shown to employees when they opt in or out
- Elections feed benefit deductions to the next pay run

08Frequently asked
What teams ask before turning on Benefits.
Specifics on how Workzoom benefits works, what it costs, and how it connects to the rest of the platform.
Workzoom's benefits administration software manages the entire lifecycle of employee benefits: plan setup, eligibility enforcement, enrollment, contribution calculations, and payroll deductions. Instead of tracking benefits in spreadsheets and manually calculating deductions each pay period, the software automates every step and connects enrollment decisions directly to payroll with no export or manual transfer.
Workzoom sets the enrollment window dates and handles the rest automatically. Eligible employees are notified, they log into self-service to review available plans, compare options side by side, and submit their elections. When the window closes, new elections take effect on the specified date and deductions update automatically on the next pay run. No paper forms, no manual data entry, no reconciliation.
Workzoom shows employees every plan they are eligible for with coverage details, employee cost, employer contribution, and plan features laid out for comparison. They can switch between tier options like single, couple, and family and see how their deduction changes in real time. This replaces paper packets and PDF comparisons that most organizations still rely on.
Workzoom's benefits and payroll share the same database so when an employee enrolls in a plan, the deduction amount is calculated from the plan's contribution formula and applied to their payroll record automatically. There is no file export, no import, no middleware. Cable Bahamas uses this for 850 employees with deductions calculated every pay cycle without manual intervention.
Workzoom supports any benefit type including health insurance, dental, vision, life insurance, short-term and long-term disability, retirement plans, health spending accounts, wellness programs, and more. Each plan type has its own eligibility rules, contribution formulas, coverage tiers, and waiting periods.
Workzoom builds benefits enrollment into the onboarding workflow. When a new hire completes their onboarding tasks, eligible benefit plans are presented automatically based on their role, location, and employment type. Waiting periods calculate from their hire date and coverage activates automatically once elapsed. County of Renfrew onboarded 32 employees in 3 months using this integrated process.
Workzoom's benefits administration is part of the Payroll Suite at $4 per employee per month. That includes pay processing, benefits administration, and expense management. No setup fees and no long-term contracts are required.
