Hi Venkatesh.

These Two Comes Under Enrollements.

Default

u2022 Enrollment of new hires in default plans as an interim measure, until they have made their benefits choices

A plan in which employees can be enrolled before they communicate their benefits elections to the benefits office

Default plans are typically used for giving short-term coverage to new hires and therefore often allow little flexibility to the employee regarding the plan terms.

Automatic

u2022 Enrollment of new hires in plans that are automatically offered

A plan in which employees are enrolled without the requirement that they consent to the enrollment or make any elections within the plan An employee is enrolled in all relevant automatic plans at all times.

Automatic plans are often provided at no extra cost to the employee and often allow little flexibility to the employee regarding the plan terms.

Thanks & Regards.
