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.

  1. Access Frequency Table (BN04.1).
  2. Select the Company.
  3. In the Table field, specify the code and provide a description that represents the frequency table.
    Note: The number of pay periods in a year is set to default into this field for each pay frequency. If you require a different value, specify that value in the field.
  4. Specify 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. Click Add.
