Entry points

Entry points determine the exact date on which an employee can enroll in a plan. If you specify entry points, an employee's benefit start date must exactly match an plan entry point. You can use entry points with or without a waiting period, and can include one of these methods:

• Up to 12 specific entry points. You can use this method to limit enrollments to the first of each month, or the first of the year.
• The start date of a pay period, based on the employee's pay plan. This is the pay period before or after the beginning date, or if applicable before or after the waiting period is satisfied.
• The start date of a work period, based on the employee's pay plan. This is the work period before or after the beginning date, or if applicable before or after the waiting period is satisfied.

For example, entry dates are on the first of each month and an employee's eligibility date is calculated to January 15. If you select a Prior value, such as Prior Entry Point, the application adds benefit for the employee with a start date of January 1. If you select a Next value, such as Next Entry Point, the application adds the benefit for the employee with a start date of February 2.
