Workday Benefits & HRIS Functional Analyst
Arthur Grand Technologies Inc
About the role
Lead Workday’s 2027 Benefits Open Enrolment configuration and testing, including plans, eligibility rules, rates, event types, and communications. You’ll also configure ACA measurement rules, track hours, and audit 1095-C/1094-C reporting, while supporting live enrolment issues and running EIB mass loads. The contract requires 3–5+ years in Workday Benefits and ACA Processing, plus at least two full Open Enrolment cycles.
This is not a pure developer (Integration/Studio) or standard report writer role. It requires someone who bridges functional configuration and system administration, specifically with experience managing a company's first Open Enrolment (OE) cycle and ACA Processing post-implementation.
Core Competencies & Responsibilities:
Open Enrolment Configuration (Benefits Lead):
Configuring and updating benefit plans, eligibility rules, and coverage levels, for the 2027 plan year.
Setting up Open Enrolment event types, enrolment periods, and communication materials within Workday.
Updating benefit rates, rate tables, and provider premium schedules.
Leading end-to-end OE testing (configuring test scenarios, launching test OE events, and validating business processes).
ACA Tracking & 1095-C/1094-C Processing:
Configuring Workday ACA eligibility measurement rules, stability periods, and hours tracking.
Setting up Offer and Coverage codes (Lines 14 & 16 of Form 1095-C).
Auditing, troubleshooting, and generating IRS year-end ACA reporting files.
Support & Administration:
Serving in a Benefits Administrator capacity to troubleshoot configuration issues, run audits, and resolve employee enrolment errors during the live OE window.
Partnering directly with functional benefits stakeholders to translate plan changes into system requirements.
Running EIBs (Enterprise Interface Builders) for mass data loading (e.g., rate updates, enrolment corrections).
Ideal Sourcing Profile / Candidate Checklist
Workday Experience: 3–5+ years focused on Workday Benefits and ACA Processing.
Cycle Experience: Proven track record running at least 2 full Open Enrolment lifecycles in Workday (experience with a first-year / cutover OE is a major differentiator).
Technical Skills: Workday Benefits Config, EIB mass loads, Calculated Fields, and Custom Reporting for benefit plan audits and vendor reconciliations.
