Open Enrollment Resources
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 Worksite Employee Email 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.
