Setting Up Yearly Benefits Guides

If a document is related to all benefit plans, such as for yearly benefits guides, you can make it accessible through Benefit Plan Details (in both the Personal and Management view), Current Elections, Open Enrollment, New Enrollment, and Life Event Summary. Employees and managers can click a customized button on any of these pages and access a file or link to a Web site.

More than one benefits guide may also be posted for the same plan year.  This may be useful when varying benefit packages are offered or within multilingual organization where the same guide may need to be published in more than one language.
