BN32.1 - Employee Benefit Changes

**Form Purpose
Use Employee Benefit Changes (BN32.1) to change or stop an employee's benefit.

This form displays all benefit plans in which the employee is enrolled. You
determine which benefits display by defining an As of Date. Plans do not
display that have a stop date before the As of Date.

Important If an employee's coverage or contributions change, Lawson
recommends that you do not change the employee's current benefit. Instead,
stop the current benefit and re-enter the employee in the same plan with the
new coverage and contributions. This provides an online audit trail of
changes. You can re-add a benefit by choosing the Add button and using the
Benefit Add subform.

**Processing Effect
When you stop an employee's benefit, the Benefits application stops
deductions for the employee in PR14.1 (Employee Deduction). If you stop a
benefit plan under a flex plan, the application stops the standard time record
if one exists for the employee in PR30.1 (Standard Time Record). If you re-add
the benefit, the application creates new deductions for the employee in PR14.1
and a standard time record in PR30.1, if applicable.
