Employee Benefit Elections Experience

Overview

The employee experience enables employees to choose their benefits and to supply all information necessary to be enrolled into those benefits. The employee experience is optimized for mobile devices, but can also be accessed on a desktop or laptop computer.

The unique URL provided to the employee in the benefit elections notification email (also found in the employee details window, accessible from the enrollment homepage) will navigate the employee directly to the login screen.

Alternatively, the employee experience can be accessed at https://ei.benefitter.com/kiosk. The employee will need their unique access code to log in from this URL (see the Assist Employees section of the Manage Employee Elections user guide for more information about access codes).

The first time an employee accesses the employee experience, they will be asked to create a password.
