Many people exploring Opolis ask “Why do I need to run my payroll through Opolis? Can I skip that and just get health benefits?" Here’s why:
Group healthcare plans require a worker to be a W2 employee of a business in order to qualify for enrollment. You must be actively payrolled by this business entity to stay covered. Independent workers are not W2 employees or actively payrolled by their clients. Opolis helps independent workers solve this problem.
