Job Description

  • Job Title: Workday Benefits & HRIS Functional Analyst
  • Job Type: Contract, 100% remote but must be in USA
  • Duration: 6 months with possible extension
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 Enrollment (OE) cycle post-implementation.
Core Competencies & Responsibilities
  • Open Enrollment Configuration (Benefits Lead):
  • Configuring and updating benefit plans, eligibility rules, coverage levels, and deduction/earning codes for the 2027 plan year.
  • Setting up Open Enrollment event types, enrollment 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 enrollment 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, enrollment 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 Enrollment 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.
  • Availability: Immediate start through end of January/February (post-OE closeout and ACA filing prep).
