1. Introduction and Purpose
This handbook serves as the comprehensive guide for all Onboarding Benefit Enrollment Specialists (“Specialists”) employed by ErrandWorks. This document establishes mandatory policies, procedures, and legal requirements governing the performance of benefit enrollment services within our service marketplace platform.
FAQ: What is the Onboarding Benefit Enrollment Specialist at ErrandWorks?
The Onboarding Benefit Enrollment Specialist supports vendors as they join ErrandWorks, helping them access platform perks and guiding them through enrollment for benefits like health, dental, vision, telehealth, and more.
Do they have the same benefits as an SVSP?
Yes! Benefit Enrollment Specialists enjoy all the perks and benefits available to SVSPs (Sales & Vendor Success Partners), including platform access, eligibility for vendor benefits, and specialized resources.
How do they earn income?
In addition to onboarding support, specialists who hold a valid insurance license can earn extra income through insurance commissions by helping vendors enroll in coverage (health, dental, vision, life, etc.).
What happens after onboarding?
Once the onboarding process is completed, the specialist begins carrier onboarding—helping vendors discover benefit options, choose their preferred insurance path, and facilitating enrollment directly with providers.
