Benefits administration involves the HR function of?

• A. Enrolling, maintaining, managing, and discontinuing employee benefits
• B. Hiring new staff
• C. Performance reviews
• D. Payroll processing

Answer: (A)

Benefits administration is the HR function that focuses on managing employee benefit programs. This includes enrolling employees in benefits, keeping enrollment records up to date, selecting and administering plan options, and handling changes or discontinuations when eligibility changes. The aim is to ensure employees have appropriate coverage, maintain compliance with laws and plan rules, and coordinate with benefit vendors (including any necessary payroll deductions). This is distinct from hiring new staff (recruitment), performance reviews (performance management), or payroll processing (though benefits deductions may flow through payroll).
