Define benefit plan parameters

When you define a benefit plan, you identify the benefit type and then define specific parameters for that benefit type. For each plan, you define coverage and contribution types. Entry rules, coverage, contributions, and general ledger overrides of the deduction accounts are unique by employee groups.

This table shows the different procedures that you can use to define your benefit plans:
