Introducing Benefit Field Identifiers
We're pleased to announce a new feature in 2.40.1 that makes your benefit data easier to report on and analyse: Benefit Field Identifiers.
Benefit Builder gives you complete freedom to configure benefits with any combination of fields. That flexibility is one of MyWorkPal's biggest strengths, but it does mean the same underlying value can end up named differently from one benefit to the next. One pension benefit might label its employee contribution field "EE %" while another calls it "Employee Contribution" — even though both hold the same kind of information.
Benefit Field Identifiers solve this. You can now tag individual benefit fields with a standardised label drawn from a central library, so the same concept is recognised consistently wherever it appears. Every "employee pension contribution percentage" field across every benefit and tenant can carry the same identifier, ready to be reported and compared as a single, coherent data point.
What this means for you
- Consistent reporting — compare data across different benefits and tenants, even where field names differ.
- Cleaner datasets — filter your reports down to just the fields that matter for analysis, leaving out configuration-only fields.
- Analytics and AI ready — standardised naming means modern analytics and AI tools can interpret and compare your benefit data correctly.
Getting started
As a platform owner you can enable this yourself. Once switched on, you'll create your identifiers in a central library, assign them to benefit fields in Benefit Builder, and pull them through in Report Builder via two new fields: Field Identifier Name and Field Identifier Value.
Full step-by-step guidance, including how to enable the feature, is available in our knowledge base: Benefit Field Identifiers.
