Benefits Enrollment Deadline Reminder

Quick Answer

A benefits enrollment reminder alerts employees to the open enrollment deadline, links to the enrollment portal, and lists what they need to complete. Send it 2 weeks before and again 2 days before the deadline. Schedule both with Schedule Message so no one misses the window.
