Benefits Section

The Benefits section stores the benefits and perks associated with a job.

From this section you can:

  • View saved benefits records.
  • Create a new benefits summary.
  • Edit an existing summary.
  • Reuse one summary on multiple jobs.
  • Create a summary for positions that do not offer benefits.

A Benefits record is an internal Careers record. It does not create a separate public job listing.

Create separate records when different roles or employment types receive different benefits.

Create a Benefits Record

  1. Open Careers → Benefits.
  2. Select Add New.
  3. Enter a name in the main title field.
  4. Complete the Benefits Description.
  5. Select Save.

The record becomes available under the Benefits field when creating or editing a job.

Benefits Description

Use the Description editor under Benefits Information to explain the benefits and perks available for the position.

You might include:

  • Medical, dental, or vision coverage
  • Paid time off
  • Retirement plans
  • Bonuses or profit sharing
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Remote work options
  • Wellness programmes
  • Learning allowances
  • Employee recognition or team events

Use short paragraphs or bullet points so candidates can read the information easily.

Include eligibility rules, waiting periods, limits, or conditions when they apply.

Only describe benefits available to the person hired for the job. The description is required.

Name the Benefits Record

Use a clear title that is easy to recognise when selecting benefits on a job.

Examples include:

  • Standard Employee Benefits
  • Full-Time Benefits Package
  • Contract Benefits
  • No Benefits Available

The title identifies the record in the WordPress admin. The detailed information candidates read comes from the Description field.

Assign Benefits to a Job

When creating or editing a job:

  1. Open Careers → Jobs.
  2. Open the job.
  3. Find the Benefits field.
  4. Select the benefits record.
  5. Save the job.

A benefits record is required for a job posting.

If the position does not offer benefits, create and select a record named No Benefits Available and explain that clearly in its description.

See Create a Job.

Edit or Remove Benefits

Edit a Benefits Record

  1. Open Careers → Benefits.
  2. Select the benefits record.
  3. Update the title or description.
  4. Select Save.

Changes affect every job using that record. Review those job postings after updating the benefits.

Remove a Benefits Record

Before removing a record, check which jobs use it.

Edit those jobs and select another benefits record first. A job requires an associated benefits record.

Do not remove a record that is still assigned to an active job.

Check Benefits on a Job

After saving, open a job that uses the record and confirm that:

  • The correct benefits record is selected.
  • The description matches the position.
  • Eligibility details are accurate.
  • The benefits are easy to read.
  • Optional or conditional benefits are explained.

Troubleshooting

The Benefits Record Will Not Save

Check that the record has a title and that the Description field contains information.

The description is required. Add the missing information and save again.

The Benefits Record Is Not Available on a Job

Confirm that the record was saved successfully under Careers → Benefits.

Reload the job editor after creating the record. If it still does not appear, check that your account can manage Benefits.

A Job Has No Benefits Selected

Open the job and select a record under Benefits.

If the position has no benefits, select a record that clearly states No Benefits Available instead of leaving the field empty.

The Wrong Benefits Appear on a Job

Edit the job and check the selected Benefits record.

If several records have similar names, open each record and confirm the description before selecting the correct one.

Updated Benefits Are Not Showing

Confirm that the Benefits record was saved.

Because the job uses the saved record, changes affect all jobs assigned to it. Clear page cache and reload the public job page.

Benefits Do Not Apply to Every Job

Create separate benefits records for different packages, then assign the appropriate record to each job.

Do not use one general record when full-time, part-time, temporary, and contract positions receive different benefits.
