When the Benefits Strategy Solutions period ends, open enrollment for worksite employees begins soon after, so you'll want to start planning for open enrollment. 

Open Enrollment Toolkit

To help your worksite employees prepare for open enrollment, please click here or on the image below to view the Open Enrollment Toolkit. We’ll also communicate directly with worksite employees to help explain TriNet-sponsored benefits and the enrollment process.

Open Enrollment Worksite Employee Deployment Dates

Leading up to and throughout the open enrollment period, worksite employees will receive email communications from TriNet (noreply@clients.trinet.com). These emails stress the importance of taking action during open enrollment as well as providing resources to help with the decision making process. Within these emails, important dates and deadlines are outlined, in addition to calendar appointment reminders that can be used to ensure submission before the end of open enrollment.
