Setting up the Benefit Event
On the Pay and Leave Event (EVNT) page, the HRM administrator will establish which events are to be evaluated if the client site has specified on the plan that a benefit or deduction is conditional on a specific number of event hours reported on his/her timesheet. If the event is to be evaluated and accumulated towards the qualification of a benefit or deduction, the HRM administrator will select the Benefit Eligibility Test check box.
For exception paid employees, the Benefit Eligibility Hours batch job will perform a subtraction from standard pay period hours based on the employee’s pay class for those hours that do not have the Benefit Eligibility Test and FMLA selected on the events.
If the event is for FMLA leave and it is to be counted by the Benefit Eligibility Test batch job, the administrator will select the Benefit Eligibility Test and the FMLA check box in the Pay Event Information section of the EVNT. The Benefit Eligibility Test batch job will generate a row on the BEN_ELIG_HRS table for the total FMLA hours reported.
Note: Retro payments are identified by the retro sequence number being greater than zero and will not be counted towards eligibility hours.
