In SchoolFront, districts can set their onboarding profiles up so that new hires can choose to cancel their Benefits Enrollment forms (and other forms) if they are choosing not to enroll in the plan. This helps keep the district's system from unnecessary clutter and minimizes end-of-year cleanup. The Benefits Coordinator can also be notified through a system notification that the new hire has canceled the form, so they know not to expect an enrollment form from the new hire.
