INFINITI HR Open Enrollment 101: What Employers & Employees Need to Know for a Smooth Benefits Selection Process

/in , /by

COLUMBIA, MD – Open Enrollment season is here, and with it comes an important opportunity for employers and employees to evaluate and select benefits for the upcoming plan year. INFINITI HR, a national leading PEO ranked by Forbes Advisor and a 2025 Washington Post Top Workplace, is sharing key tips and best practices to help organizations streamline the open enrollment process. 

For INFINITI HR, the open enrollment period is October 27, 2025 through November 7, 2025.

“Each year we look to streamline our Open Enrollment process and expand our health and wellness benefits offerings so employees can make confident, informed choices while taking control of their health,” said Scott Smrkovski, CEO of INFINITI HR.

Key Tips for Employers During Open Enrollment

  • Offer Clear Resources: Make it easy for people to understand their choices by giving them straightforward benefit summaries, side-by-side plan comparisons, FAQs, and the option to attend virtual or in-person enrollment sessions.
  • Highlight New or Updated Offerings: If there are any changes this year–whether that’s expanded telehealth, added mental health support, supplemental coverage options, or adjustments in pricing–call those out directly rather than expecting employees to discover them on their own.
  • Ensure Your Employee Portal is Updated: Double-check that the online system is intuitive, current, and functioning smoothly so employees aren’t stuck hunting for forms or instructions at the last minute.

What Employees Should Keep in Mind

  • Review Your Current Coverage: Take a moment to look at how you used your benefits over the past year and what you might need going forward—providers, prescriptions, dependents, and anticipated medical care all play a role.
  • Use Decision-Support Tools: If your benefits platform includes comparison tools or cost estimators (such as a “Total Annual Cost” Plan Estimator, etc.), they’re worth using to clarify real differences in coverage and cost that aren’t always obvious on the surface.
  • Submit Elections On Time: Open Enrollment only lasts for a fixed window, and once it closes, changes typically require a qualifying life event (such as death, divorce, etc.), so do not miss the deadline.

2026 Benefits Highlights Through INFINITI HR

Plan options may vary by client group, but offerings for the upcoming year include:

  • Expanded Telehealth: We’re emphasizing more flexible virtual care this year, giving employees the ability to speak with medical professionals quickly for everyday health questions, follow-up conversations, and ongoing wellness support.
  • Functional Health & Wellness: Employees can also take a more proactive approach to their health through NutriVue Health, which includes optional at-home lab testing memberships that reveal markers like biological age and help guide long-term lifestyle and wellness planning.
  • Vision Insurance: For vision care, employees can use the VSP Choice Plan through Beam Benefits, which covers an annual eye exam and provides allowances for frames or lenses — helping reduce the usual out-of-pocket spending that comes with updating glasses or contacts.
  • Pet Insurance: For employees with pets, there are two pet insurance options available to help manage veterinary care costs and reduce the stress of unpredictable or emergency vet visits.

In addition, INFINITI HR is introducing enhanced Minimum Essential Coverage (MEC), access to Aflac BenExtend, and three plans for identity protection via Norton LifeLock, and more.

How to Enroll

Eligible employees receive a Welcome Email with instructions at the start of the enrollment period. Employees should log into the Employee Benefits Portal, review their options, and finalize plan selections before the stated deadline.

INFINITI HR team at IFA Advocacy Summit supporting the American Franchise Act 2025

INFINITI HR℠, The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises®, Stands with the International Franchise Association (IFA) In Support of the Bipartisan American Franchise Act at the 2025 IFA Advocacy Summit

/in , /by

Leading franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers were invited to join INFINITI HR℠, The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises®, in Washington, D.C. to shape the future of franchising. 

WASHINGTON, D.C. Franchising is local, and it must be protected nationally. INFINITI HR℠, The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises®, is proud to stand with the world’s leading franchisors, franchisees, and suppliers in support of the bipartisan American Franchise Act. As one of the most important pieces of legislation in the history of franchising, the bipartisan American Franchise Act 2025 will protect and strengthen franchising across the country, safeguarding opportunities for small business owners and the communities they serve.  

“Franchising is a business growth strategy that has enabled the creation of more than 831,000 small businesses across the United States, generating approximately $896 billion in annual economic output, employing approximately 8.8 million workers, spanning approximately 300 industries,” said Daniel Mormino, INFINITI HR℠ Chief Business Officer. “The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises® must protect and honor all franchisees as independent small business owners at the heart of the U.S. economy.” 

Engaging with Lawmakers 

The franchise business model is rooted in a simple but fundamental value proposition — it enables aspiring small business owners to go into business for themselves, but not by themselves. This community includes legacy brands we know and love – and others that are just getting started. The model is founded on a relationship between a franchisor (or brand) and a franchisee (or individual business owner). It is vital to the consistency of products and services offered to consumers, the success of the system, and the value of the brand. Essentially, a franchise is a local business that licenses the branding and operational processes of the franchisor but is responsible for the day-to-day operations of its independently owned business. The local owner, or franchisee, is responsible for hiring staff, organizing schedules, managing labor costs inclusive of payroll, HR, benefits, and performing all daily operational tasks, as well as local sales and marketing. But that relationship and the opportunity it represents are under threat. 

A Commitment to Advocacy 

The bipartisan, bicameral American Franchise Act 2025 modestly amends the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) to clarify that: “A franchisor may be considered a joint employer of the employees of a franchisee only if the franchisor possesses and exercises substantial direct and immediate control over one or more essential terms or conditions of the employees of the franchisee.” This is consistent with historical precedent and current NLRB policy. 

The American Franchise Act 2025 applies only to franchisors and franchisees alleged to be joint employers under the FLSA and NLRA. Non-franchise independent contractor relationships and other tests of multi-party liability – e.g., misclassification, single employer, agency – are not covered by the legislation. 

Franchisors are not immune from a joint employer finding under the legislation. Actions such as setting minimum standards for brand protection – including to protect the franchisor’s trademarks and IP – and offering training materials or other operations resources do not amount to direct and immediate control. 

“For the first time ever, Congress has the chance to advance the bipartisan, bicameral American Franchise Act 2025, a landmark measure that would finally end years of uncertainty caused by shifting joint employer standards,” Mormino said. “INFINITI HR℠, The Professional Employer Organization for Franchises®, is proud to stand with the International Franchise Association (IFA) and our Coalition Partners in support of clear, common-sense legislation that affirms a fundamental truth: franchisees are independent small business owners. We are honored to support the PEOple who took a chance on themselves, their employees, and their communities.”

employee engagement through volunteering benefiting students with a back to school drive

INFINITI HR Wraps Up Sixth Annual Back-to-School Drive, Sets Bar for Community Impact

/in , /by

COLUMBIA, MD – In today’s business climate, where companies are branching out in different directions and trying to tackle bigger societal challenges, INFINITI HR showcased the impact of employee engagement through volunteering as it wrapped up its sixth annual Back-to-School Drive. We’ve seen plenty of corporate initiatives come and go, but this one really stands out. For the past six years, the leading PEO has rolled this out as part of its broader corporate social responsibility initiative to actively contribute to community outreach efforts. INFINITI HR supplies essential school materials like backpacks, notebooks, calculators, and other classroom essentials to students in underserved communities. And employees, clients, and partners gather at the company headquarters in Columbia, Maryland to organize, pack, and distribute donations.

Employee Engagement Through Volunteering at INFINITI HR

Most leaders we talk to are drowning in operational headaches while trying to keep their teams happy and productive. But there’s another challenge we’re seeing more frequently — the pressure to connect company activities with community values. It’s not just nice-to-have anymore. A recent Gallup poll painted a pretty concerning picture: U.S. employee engagement has hit its lowest point in a decade. Would you believe that only 31% of employees feel engaged at work and 17% are actively disengaged? Those numbers tell us something important — companies probably need to rethink their approaches. It’s not enough to focus solely on profits; we need environments where employees can participate in activities that really matter.

And so, the Back-to-School Drive that INFINITI HR runs is exactly the kind of program that can fight this downward engagement trend. They’re not just handing out school supplies to kids from pre-K through fifth grade — though that’s certainly valuable. They’re building something deeper: a culture where volunteering and community service become part of INFINITI HR’s DNA. Their employees get involved in collecting, sorting, and distributing these supplies over the course of a few weeks each August. The result? Local children get what they need, and — employee morale gets a significant boost. 

Corporate Social Responsibility and Community Outreach

What makes INFINITI HR different in the crowded field of community programs is their consistent approach to engaging both internal and external stakeholders. Many organizations treat community work as a sideline activity — something separate from their core business. INFINITI HR does things differently. They’ve woven community-centered programs directly into their corporate identity and this creates a natural connection between business results and social impact. For those who haven’t seen INFINITI HR’s approach before, you can learn more about their community work through their fifth annual drive, which demonstrated similar dedication and achieved record donations – more than 3,000 supplies collected and shared across Burtonsville Elementary School in Burtonsville, Maryland and Bond Mill Elementary School in Laurel, Maryland. INFINITI HR also partners with the local organization, Neighbor Network (Neighbors Helping Neighbors), to supply fully stocked backpacks for low-income families.

INFINITI HR’s Back-to-School Drive represents something bigger than just a single company initiative. It shows how forward-thinking businesses can make meaningful contributions to their communities while simultaneously improving their internal culture. For business leaders who feel overwhelmed by HR responsibilities, the message comes through clearly: outsourcing certain HR functions to providers like INFINITI HR can offer multiple benefits, including giving your workforce opportunities for employee engagement through volunteering, while making a meaningful impact on local students and communities.

To dive deeper into strategies beyond volunteering, check out INFINITI HR’s insights on improving employee engagement.

Is Your Business Protected from Unexpected Risks? 

BURTONSVILLE, MD – June 23, 2025 — Imagine this: An employee slips on a wet floor and ends up in the hospital. A disgruntled former hire files a wrongful termination lawsuit. Your business faces a data breach exposing sensitive information. Sounds like a nightmare, right? But for many companies, these aren’t just hypotheticals—they’re real risks that come without warning. The question is: when the worst happens, will your business be ready?

The business insurance market is projected to hit a whopping $278.4 billion in 2024, which tells you one thing: coverage isn’t optional. It’s essential. And if you’re in HR, you already know that managing risk is just as important as recruiting top talent or keeping employees engaged.

Take the Next Step with INFINITI HR

If you own or run a business: your insurance strategy needs to be proactive, not reactive. Waiting until something goes wrong isn’t a plan—it’s a gamble.

Ask yourself:

  • Do we have the right coverage for our business size and industry?
  • Are we protected across all the states (or countries) where we operate?
  • Are we balancing risk management with great employee benefits?

If you’re unsure about any of these, it’s time to rethink your approach. INFINITI HR’s expanded business insurance solutions aren’t just about protection—they’re about possibility. As business owners face rising employee turnover, evolving regulations, and tightening margins, comprehensive, affordable insurance becomes a strategic advantage—not a sunk cost.

“Risk will always be part of business,” said Smrkovski. “But with the right partner, it doesn’t have to be your downfall.”

Through both hands-on volunteering and in-kind contributions, the INFINITI HR team has delivered an equivalent impact of 300+ volunteer hours and nearly $50,000 in goods and services in 2024, and we are not stopping there. 

National Volunteer Month was created to recognize the impact of volunteerism and encourage Americans to get involved. While the spotlight shines in April, INFINITI HR has made it part of our DNA.

Here is what that looks like in action:

  • Back-to-School Drives: Our employees donate time and thousands of supplies through our Annual Backpack Drive to support local schools, equipping students with what they need to succeed.
  • Meal Prep for Food Pantries: We organize volunteer days where teams prepare meals for food-insecure families. We are making lunches for Elizabeth’s House food bank/kitchen on June 27, 2025. 
  • Braving the Polar Plunge for Special Olympics Maryland: This year, our team raised $13,800 by diving into frigid waters to support athletes with intellectual and developmental disabilities. In the past eight years, INFINITI HR and its partners have proudly contributed more than $100,000 to this incredible cause.
  • Employee-Led Giving: We support the causes our team members care deeply about—from local shelters and supporting veterans to life-changing acts of service, like donating a kidney to someone in need.
  • Walking for Good Causes: From volunteering at the 5K to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of the National Capital Area, to staffing the Baltimore Marathon, to hosting a team for the Best Buddies Friendship Walk in Maryland on May 3rd, our team proudly laces up to raise awareness and funds for causes that promote inclusion, youth mentorship, and community health.

But we don’t stop at good intentions. We bake these values into our culture, encouraging every employee to use company time to volunteer, and recognizing their efforts in meaningful ways.

Why? Because giving back isn’t a distraction from business—it is business.

“We know companies that consistently give back don’t just feel good—they perform better. Culture isn’t window dressing; it’s the architecture that holds businesses together when things get hard. In today’s tight labor market, where 38% of employees are expected to leave their jobs in 2025, building a workplace people want to be part of is no longer optional,” said Scott Smrkovski, CEO of INFINITI HR. “That is why INFINITI HR isn’t waiting for April to make an impact. Community engagement is a 365-day commitment. Investing in volunteerism is part of building a workplace where people feel valued, engaged, and proud of what they do.” 

This National Volunteer Month, ask yourself: What does my company stand for? What legacy are we building beyond the bottom line?
