Benefits Specialist I (Leave Coordinator)

We need to output HTML fragment with sections only if real content. Use

for section headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. First, job title is not needed as heading. We have Department, Location, Time Type, Worker Type, Job Req ID - these are metadata; we can put in a short

or drop. Probably include a short paragraph with those details. Then we have Minimum Requirements: Bachelor's degree... Grade 4 (Hourly) Position Description: ... This is description. Then Essential Duties And Responsibilities list. Then Preferred Qualifications. Then Competencies (list of competencies). Could be Skills. Then Target Compensation Maximum and Minimum, with note "Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience." Since they gave numbers, we can include Pay section with those numbers. However note says "Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience." That's not a specific number but they gave min and max. We can include Pay section with the range. Benefits: Not mentioned explicitly besides maybe "Benefit’s team". No explicit benefits description. So we should not create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does not list benefits like health insurance etc. So skip Benefits. Schedule: Not mentioned (full time). Could infer full time but not explicit schedule details. The instruction: never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. It says Time Type: Full time. That's a schedule type. Might be considered schedule content. However they said "Schedule" section only when posting has real, specific content for it. "Full time" is specific enough? Might be considered schedule. But they said "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." The posting states Time Type: Full time. So we could include Schedule section with "Full time". However they also said "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." Might be okay to include Schedule with that. But we also have Pay: they gave Target Compensation Maximum and Minimum. So we can include Pay. Now we need to decide sections: About the role (position description), Responsibilities (essential duties), Requirements (minimum requirements), Qualifications (preferred qualifications), Skills (competencies), Pay, Schedule. We must not repeat job title as heading. We must not include boilerplate like EEO, etc. We need to preserve all substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and

  for prose. Thus: - About the role: could be the Position Description paragraph(s). That's prose. - Responsibilities: list of essential duties. - Requirements: Minimum Requirements (Bachelor's degree... Grade 4 (Hourly)). Could be prose or list? It's a sentence; we can put in

  . - Qualifications: Preferred Qualifications (list). Use

  . - Skills: Competencies list (maybe each competency as bullet). Use
  . - Pay: include the Target Compensation Maximum and Minimum and note about commensurate. Use

  maybe. - Schedule: Full time. Use

  . We must not include headings with empty content. Now ensure we preserve all substantive information: include details like administering leave programs, tracking balances, eligibility, notices, etc. All duties listed. We need to capture all duties exactly as given, but we can format as bullet points preserving the text. Let's extract duties: "Administers the University of Louisville's leave programs (vacation, sick, FML, temporary medical leave, personal) in compliance with university policies and applicable laws and regulations." "Track leave balances, leave periods, required documentation, deadlines, and return-to-work dates." "Determines employee eligibility, requests and obtains completed certification and re-certification, and provides required notices." "Responds to employee questions and assist employees in completing and submitting required paperwork to begin the leave process." "Provide required notices as required under FMLA outlining status or group benefit coverage, other rights and obligations and requirements to return to work." "Communicate with employees and managers regarding leave designation and status." "Works with other internal departments (e.g., payroll) to ensure accurate recordkeeping and payments to employees." "Ensures accurate tracking and reconciliation of benefit premiums while communicating effectively with employees, the Benefit’s team, and direct bill provider." "Respond to employee and supervisor questions and resolve routine leave-related issues." "Maintain confidentiality of sensitive employee information and personnel records." "Remain up to date on relevant laws, including FMLA, ADA, etc., and HIPAA and other privacy laws." "Prepare and provide reports and data related to employee leave, trends, balances, and utilization to HR leadership." "Recommend improvements to leave administration processes, procedures, forms, and communications." "Acts as backup to the Benefits team by delivering timely assistance and guidance to employees on benefit-related matters." "Perform other duties as assigned." Now Preferred Qualifications: "One year of experience in benefits, HRIS, and/or leave program administration and systems (i.e., Workday, PeopleSoft, etc.)." "Professional HR certification such as Certified Employee Benefits Specialist (CEBS), Certified Benefits Professional (CBP), SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP." Competencies list: "Proactive: anticipates and plans for problems before they arise." "Service Excellence: responsive, informs constituents of process, pleasant to work with, educates and provides timely, accurate information." "Organized: manages time effectively, keeps tasks appropriately prioritized." "Critical Thinking: ability to think through issues and identify appropriate options." "Work Ethic: motivated, diligent, industrious and persistent in the workplace, stays on tasks to completion, works at a fast pace to ensure optimal efficiency." "Ability to perform all commonly applicable functions in the Microsoft Office 365 suite, effectively using it and other software applications to complete duties and responsibilities." "Ability to work with confidential data." "Dedication to customer service and seamless interdepartmental workflow, with a record of achieving/exceeding goals." "Communication: Builds and maintains effective partnerships with employees, departments, and leadership to foster strong working relationships and collaborative partnerships." "Flexible: ability to change directions as needed for the good of the department and/or university." "Teamwork: ability to work with others, serve others, help others, lead others, mentor others, take directions from others in the interest of moving process and programs forward to the desired outcome." Now Minimum Requirements: "Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business or related field or equivalent combination of education and work experience." "Grade 4 (Hourly)" Position Description paragraph: "The Benefits Specialist I Leave Coordinator in the Department of Human Resources is responsible for administering and coordinating employee leave programs in accordance with university policies, applicable federal and state regulations. This position serves as a primary resource for employees (faculty and staff), supervisors, Human Resources staff, and university leadership regarding leave eligibility, documentation, timelines, and return-to-work processes. The Leave Coordinator ensures that employee leave requests are processed accurately, confidentially, and in a timely manner while maintaining appropriate records and supporting consistent application of university leave policies." Now metadata: Department: Benefits Location: Belknap Campus Time Type: Full time Worker Type: Regular Job Req ID: R109363 We can put in a

  maybe: "Department: Benefits | Location: Belknap Campus | Time Type: Full time | Worker Type: Regular | Job Req ID: R109363" Now Pay: "Target Compensation Maximum: $32.98 Target Compensation Minimum: $21.99 Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience." We could format as: "

  Target Compensation: $21.99 – $32.98 per hour (commensurate with experience).

  " But we must not invent or summarize away detail. The original says "Target Compensation Maximum: $32.98 Target Compensation Minimum: $21.99 Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience." So we can keep that exactly but maybe rephrase slightly? The instruction: "Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail." Rephrasing might be okay as long as we don't lose detail. Safer to keep the exact sentences. Thus:

  Target Compensation Maximum: $32.98 Target Compensation Minimum: $21.99 Compensation Will Be Commensurate To Candidate Experience.

  Schedule: "Full time". Could be

  Schedule: Full time

  but we need to preserve the info. The posting says Time Type: Full time. So we can put

  Schedule: Full time

  . Now ensure we don't include any boilerplate like EEO, etc. Now produce HTML fragment:

  Department: Benefits | Location: Belknap Campus | Time Type: Full time | Worker Type: Regular | Job Req ID: R109363
