Northcentral University Emory Benefits Chart and Recommendations Worksheet

 

Using your current or past organization’s benefits package, prepare a chart of all benefits offered (even those that you may not be currently enrolled). If you aren’t currently employed, contact the HR department of a local healthcare provider and request a listing of their benefits offering. In lieu of contacting the HR department, benefits are often listed in the career section of the organization’s website. Your chart should include:

  • Each benefit
    • those required by law
    • those provided to employees where enrollment is mandatory
    • those provided to employees where enrollment is voluntary
  • The eligibility for each benefit
  • The cost per employee for each benefit
  • The level of employee participation in the cost (if any)
  • The organization’s expense as a percentage of payroll

An example of the chart is below:

Benefit Name

Why provided (law, competition, etc.)

Enrollment mandatory / voluntary
