Benefits Defaults Database Maintenance
Benefits Defaults By Category (Employee)
The Benefits By Category (Employee) Menu lets you add, change, delete or inquire on employee benefits defaults.
When an employee does not yet have benefits, the Employee Benefits Screen will determine what default benefits to load based on this profile.
The position profile benefit codes are used if they exist. If they do not exist, the category profile defaults are used. When calculating the default benefits for an employee, the program first builds a list of all of the positions to which an employee is assigned (as of the current system date). It will then look for a position profile for each position where the total assigned hours or FTE is within the start and end amounts on the profile. If any position profiles are found, the program will load the benefit codes from this position or positions as the default benefit codes to be loaded onto the employee. If no defaults can be found by position, then defaults are sought from the category profile(s).
Each benefit code is marked with a status, specifying whether it is compulsory (meaning it cannot be deleted from an employee), or not (which means it can be deleted). There is a third status denoted by the letter 'X' which means that although the benefit can be deleted; you will be warned that you are removing a benefit with the special 'X' designation.
Benefits Defaults by Category (Employee) Additions
The Benefits by Category (Employee) Additions screen lets you create a list of defaults benefits for each payroll and employee category.
Payroll Id
Enter the payroll for which you want to establish defaults. Search to view and/or select from valid payroll ID codes. Leave this field blank and <CR> to exit.
Category Code
Enter the category for which you want to establish defaults. Search to view and/or select from valid category codes.
Start Hours/FTE
Enter the starting value in the range of hours or FTE for which this profile applies. The start and end hours/FTE fields allow you to default different benefits depending on how many hours or how much FTE an employee works. So, for example, you could default certain benefits for full time employees, and other benefits for part time employees. Whether the value you enter is hours or FTE depends on the assignments that are entered for the employee group you are dealing with. If you are entering values for support staff and support staff are entered as hours, then the values you enter here would be considered to be hours.
End Hours/FTE
Enter the ending value in the range of hours or FTE for which this profile applies. The start and end hours/FTE fields allow you to default different benefits depending on how many hours or how much FTE an employee works. So, for example, you could default certain benefits for full time employees, and other benefits for part time employees. Whether the value you enter is hours or FTE depends on the assignments that are entered for the employee group you are dealing with.
