HRIS RELEASE NOTE ON MEDICAL AID FOR DECEMBER 2025 V1
This article covers the latest release for December 2025 V1, highlighting feature improvement.
Medical Aid
What’s New
We have revamped Medical Aid, a feature that allows companies to manage health insurance plans, employee enrolment, and payroll deductions in one place.
With Medical Aid (Health Benefits), admins can:
- Create and manage health insurance plans
- Define coverage types (Individual or Family)
- Configure company vs employee cost splits
- Assign eligible employees to plans
- View all employees enrolled in each plan
This feature is designed to centralize health benefit management while ensuring accurate payroll deductions.
Why This Matters
- Centralized health benefits management: Admins can manage plans, costs, and enrolments from a single location.
- Accurate payroll deductions: Health plan deductions are directly linked to payroll, reducing errors.
- Flexibility for companies: Supports different coverage structures and cost-sharing models.
- Clear visibility: Admins can easily see which employees are enrolled in which plans.
