Workday Benefits & HRIS Functional Analyst

Job role: Workday Benefits & HRIS Functional Analyst

Location: Remote (W2 Position)

Duration: 6 months+

Job Description:
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.
