Plan Employee Update (BN102)

Run Plan Employee Update (BN102) to update employee benefits for a plan that has coverage or contributions based on age, salary, or years of service. For benefits based on salary, BN102 is the recommended update program when salary is determined using an as of date or first of the month. For benefits based on current salary, BN100 (Employee Change Benefit Update) is the recommended update program, provided personnel actions and automation rules are used.

If a plan uses current salary to determine coverage or contribution amounts, and you are not using personnel actions to enter employee changes that impact salary, run BN102 to update employee benefits.

If a benefit is based on an as of date, update employee benefits before that date. If a benefit is based on the first of the month, update employee benefits before the first of each month. If a benefit is based on current age, years of service, or salary, update employee benefits prior to each payroll cycle processing.

Processing Effect

The Benefits application stops and re-adds benefits for any employees with age, salary, or years of service changes identified by the program.

To determine if a salary change has occurred BN102 compares the employee's salary in effect on the salary date stored on the benefit to the salary calculated on the Through Date. If a difference is found, the benefit will be updated. For BN102 to find a change in salary, the salary in effect prior to the salary change must be logged to history. If the initial salary is not logged, BN102 will not determine that a change has occurred, even if the new salary is logged to history.
