How to enrol a formerly ineligible employee

1. Navigate to Benefits, then under Manage Benefits, click People.

2. Select an ineligible employee you want to enrol. On the right side of the employee name, click the three dots and select Update eligibility.

3. Select the enrolment method for the employee. It can be done digitally or by submitting a paper form. We encourage you to ask the employee to enrol digitally.

Rise is the first and only Canadian company to allow you to add beneficiaries digitally.

4. Enter the employee's division, class and plan member ID. Then, enter their Date of Eligibility. This should be the date they first became eligible for benefits, e.g. their first day of full-time work. You can also choose to waive the waiting period. Once you've added the employee's information, click Send Invite.

By default, the Effective Date is calculated by adding the plan’s waiting period to the Date of Eligibility.

5. The status of the employee has changed from Ineligible to Invited. The employee will receive an invitation to self-enrol.
