A benefits coordinator helps distribute information to employees about company benefits, such as compensation packages, insurance providers and options, and company retirement plan. Some benefits coordinators also track employee payroll data, such as vacation time and sick leave. As a benefits coordinator, your responsibilities include helping employees with enrollment paperwork for various compensation programs, explaining the different insurance options available, and reporting any issues to the human resources department managers. You may also document employee issues and concerns to the company’s benefit administrators and help the HR department develop benefits packages that are more likely to retain company employees.
