Defining Frequency Tables

The Benefits Administration application uses frequency tables so you do not have to define a contribution amount for every pay frequency. Instead, you define one contribution record with the annual amount of the premium. The application then uses the table to determine the individual deduction amount for each employee.

To define frequency tables

  1. Access Frequency Table (BN04.1).
  2. Select Company.
  3. Type the code and the description that represents the frequency table in the Table field.
    Note: The number of pay periods in a year will default into this field for each pay frequency. If you need a different value, type that value in the field.
  4. Type the contribution divisor for your employees.
  5. Select the deduction cycle.
    Note: To add the frequency table, at least one cycle must be marked for each pay frequency, even if your company does not use that frequency.
  6. Select the Add form function.
