Your Total Rewards sites are enterprise level benefit sites where employees can visit to check the current status of their company benefits. These sites are configured using a series of calculations and statements that display data that allows certain users to view specific content and restricts that same content for other users. These sites are enterprise level in size and require several ongoing team meetings and spec/wireframe reviews with clients in order to launch successfully.
