I have a question about benefits – who should I contact?

Updated over 2 months ago

Overview

If you have a question about your employee benefits—such as health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off, or other perks—the right point of contact depends on who manages your employment and how your benefits are administered.

This article will help you identify the correct team or person so you can get answers quickly.


Step 1: Identify Your Employment Type

  1. Direct Employee (hired directly by your company)

    • Your benefits are typically managed by your company’s HR or People team.

  2. Employer of Record (EOR) Employee (hired through Helios on behalf of your company)

    • Your benefits are managed by Helios in your country.


Step 2: Choose the Right Contact

If You Are a Direct Employee

  • Contact: Your HR / People & Culture team or your Payroll & Benefits administrator.

  • How to reach them:

    • Via your company’s HR email address or ticketing system.

    • Check your employee handbook or intranet for contact details.


If You Are an EOR Employee

  • Contact: The Helios Support Team

  • How to reach us:

    • In the Platform: Start a chat

    • Email: [email protected] (include your full name, country, and a brief description of your benefits question).

  • Tip: The EOR Support team can assist with:

    • Health insurance coverage & claims

    • Pension or retirement contributions

    • Paid leave entitlements

    • Sick leave policy

    • Other statutory or supplemental benefits


Step 3: Prepare Helpful Information Before Contacting

When reaching out, include:

  • Your full name and employee ID (if applicable)

  • Country of employment

  • Specific benefit type you have a question about (e.g., medical, PTO, retirement)

  • Any relevant dates, forms, or claim numbers

This ensures the team can respond faster and with accurate information.


Remember: For urgent matters such as loss of health coverage, claim denials, or time-sensitive leave requests, contact your HR or EOR benefits representative as soon as possible.
