Employee Benefits Multiplier

The Employee Benefits Multiplier (EMPBM) reference page is used to define the Employee Benefit Multiplier rates for a combination of Usage Class, Department, Effective From and Effective to dates. This page is only be used if rates are to be effective-dated. If rates are not dated, but are established by Fiscal Year for an Employee Class, then the rates should be defined on the Internal Cost Rate (INCR) reference page. The Internal Costing system process reads one of the two reference pages based on the Get Rates from Employee Benefits Multiplier indication on the System Options reference page.

Outdated records are purged from this page by the Internal Costing system process. The purge process only deletes records that have an Effective To date and that Effective To date is less (earlier) than the date derived based on the value in the Number of Days Old for Purging input parameter.

The table below contains those fields that are not self-evident and not defined on a previous section listed in alphabetical order:
