Benefits Administrator Competency Assessment

Assess Benefits Administrator Skills with Confidence

Managing employee benefits is complex, demanding expertise across compliance, systems, procedures, and interpersonal communication. This Benefits Administrator Competency Assessment gives HR leaders and hiring managers a structured way to evaluate critical skills—from HRIS proficiency and regulatory knowledge to real-world counseling scenarios.

Whether you're onboarding new benefits staff, conducting annual performance reviews, or identifying training gaps across your HR team, this Paperform template helps you measure competency in the areas that matter most: ERISA and ACA compliance, enrollment procedures, benefits plan knowledge, and the ability to guide employees through complex benefits decisions.

Built for HR and Benefits Teams

This assessment is designed for HR managers, benefits managers, HR consultants, and staffing teams who need a clear, repeatable way to evaluate whether a benefits administrator has the technical and soft skills to succeed. It's equally useful for internal skills audits, certification programs, or pre-employment testing.

The form covers:

• HRIS system proficiency across common platforms and data management tasks
• Compliance knowledge for ERISA, ACA, COBRA, HIPAA, and FMLA
• Enrollment procedures including open enrollment, life events, and new hire onboarding
• Benefits counseling scenarios that test communication, problem-solving, and empathy
• Plan administration including carrier coordination, claims support, and regulatory reporting
