BN105


BN105 - Plan Update

**Form Purpose
Run Plan Update (BN105) to update all benefits for plans in which coverage,
contributions, or general ledger overrides have been added or changed. You can
update employee, COBRA participant, and retiree benefits.

Run BN105 before the payroll cycle in which the new coverage, contribution,
or general ledger override records become effective.

**Processing Effect
When a benefit is affected by a new coverage, contribution, or general ledger
override record, the application does the following:

- Stops the original benefit and deductions the day before the change is
effective.

- Re-adds the benefit and deductions with a start date equal to the effective
date of the change.

- For benefits under a flex plan, the application can create or update
standard time records.

If an existing employee group used to vary a part of a plan changes, BN105
changes benefits based on the change. If a new employee group assigned to a
coverage, contribution, or general ledger override was added after employees
have enrolled in the plan, BN105 evaluates all benefits in effect under the
plan to determine how each employee's benefits should change. For example, on
01/01/95 a plan has coverage for HOURLY and SALARIED employee groups. If
coverage for the HOURLY employee group changes on 01/01/96, BN105 evaluates
benefits for employees in the HOURLY group only. If on 01/01/96 coverage was
also added for the employee group TEMP, BN105 evaluates all employees in the
plan to determine which coverage applies to which employees.

**More Information
For each updated benefit, BN105 lists the employee; the original
contribution, coverage, or general ledger override parameters; the new
contribution, coverage, and general ledger override parameters. You can
include deductions on the report.
