Plan structure
A plan structure is a set of rules (for example, a service rule, accrual rule, eligibility rule, and so on) that applies to an employee group. For example, you can create an employee group for full-time, salaried, non-union employees. Next you attach a set of rules to the employee group.
This set of rules comprises the plan structure for the employee group. The plan structure indicates the date or range of dates the plan is in effect. An absence plan can have more than one plan structure.
Each plan structure holds a specific set of rules, however, these rules can be used for any number of structures if the same rules apply.
