The profile for employee benefit plan includes information that is pertinent to an employees' benefits including (date of birth/age, smoker/non-smoker, marital status, dependants, salary, etc.) When/if any one of these details changes, it may affect the current benefits that the employee receives (e.g., life insurance amount).

Benefits are generally handled by a third-party insurance firm (e.g., Cobra). The benefits administration functionality provides administrators the ability to manage employee benefits through the use of a third-parties' software or system. Benefits administration includes accessing and imputing new employee records, changing an existing employees' record, as well as cancelling a terminated employees' benefit profile.
