New Hire Calendar Date
The New Hire Calendar Date (NEWHCLDT) page is used by the New Hire Enrollment process. On this page, an Administrator can assign different effective dates and Enrollment Date for separate periods of time for any Employee-eligible benefit. This page is useful for situations where groups of new hires (hired within a specified period) should all become eligible for a benefit at the same time.
The fields on the NEWHCLDT should be defined as follows for a given Benefits Type Class / From date combination:
