This is the process of defining the company benefit plan program, which is offered to the employees. When the program is decided, the plan administrator enters the information into IFS Applications. In companies using the self-service concept for benefit enrollment, the plan administrator has to publish the plans before they become available to the employees. This activity is not required in companies using a paper-based enrollment routine. Then the plan administrator enters the information directly into the employee files without managing requests from the self-service feature.
