BN31.1 - Speed Benefit Entry

Use BN31.1 (Benefit Speed Entry) to enroll multiple employees into plans.

To enroll in a plan, an employee must meet the plan's eligibility
requirements, which are employee group and postal code. In addition, an
employee's benefit start date must be equal to or later than the employee's
eligibility date. An employee's eligibility date is based on the parameters
defined in BN16.1 (Benefit Entry Rules). The system verifies eligibility
requirements when you add the benefit.

Before an employee enrolls in a benefit under a flex benefit plan, the
employee must have a flex dollar record in BN45.1 (Employee Flex Dollars) in
effect on the start date of the benefit.

When you enroll an employee in a benefit plan, the Benefits system creates
employee and company deductions for the employee in PR14.1 (Employee
Deduction). The system uses the benefit's start and stop dates to control the
deductions. For flex benefit plans, the system can create or update a standard
time record for the employee in PR30.1 (Standard Time Record).

Benefits are added based on the benefit process order that applies to the
employee. Benefit process orders are defined in BN30.1 (Benefit Process
Order). See the help text for BN30.1 for more information.

This is an add only form. Use BN32.1 (Benefit Changes) or BN32.2 (Employee
Benefit Detail Changes) to change or stop an employee's benefits.

BN31.2 - Employee Benefit Entry

Use BN31.2 (Employee Benefit Entry) to enroll an employee in benefit plans by
plan type. The plans which the employee is eligible for will display. The
eligibility criteria are employee group and postal code table defined in the
Eligible tab of BN15.1 (Benefit Plan). Plans display based on the benefit
process order that applies to the employee. If no benefit process order
applies to the employee, plans display in alphabetical order by plan type.
Benefit process orders are defined in BN30.1 (Benefit Process Order). See the
help text for BN30.1 for more information.

You can add benefits at any time as long as the benefit start date is equal
to or later than the employee's eligibility date. The Eligible field displays
the employee's eligibility date for each plan. If the plan's service
requirement is measured in hours and an employee has not met the hours of
service requirement, the Eligible field is blank. You can use the Error
subform to display the remaining number of hours an employee needs to qualify
for the plan.

When you add a new benefit for an employee, an AddedBen button displays. The
AddedBen button opens BN31.5, a view only form. BN31.5 allows you to verify
that complete information was created when the new benefit was added for the
employee.

When you enroll an employee in a benefit plan, the Benefits system creates
employee and company deductions for the employee in PR14.1 (Employee
Deduction). The system uses the benefit's start and stop dates to control the
deductions. For flex benefit plans, the system can create or update a standard
time record for the employee in PR30.1 (Standard Time Record).

This is an add only form. Use BN32.1 (Benefit Changes) or BN32.2 (Employee
Benefit Detail Changes) to change or stop an employee's benefits.
