The Manitoba Benefit Earnings Update Process allows reporting and updating of the function line benefit payment. The benefit payment is calculated by subtracting the employees benefit deduction amount (both share and employee portion) from the full benefit amount. This remaining benefit amount is then multiplied by the employee's percentage employed to generate the employee's benefit earnings amount. The employee's percentage employed is taken from either all the master of all active function lines.
This process includes the option to maintain multiple sets of stored prompts.
Name the prompt sets by defining a title up to 10 characters, with a 30-character description.
On the first prompt click the Report Defaults icon to select an existing set of prompt values. You can delete prompt sets or change the description from the Report Default icon.
