Plan Update (BN105)

Run Plan Update (BN105) to update all benefits for plans in which coverage, contributions, or general ledger overrides have been added or changed. You can update employee, COBRA participant, and retiree benefits.

Run BN105 before the payroll cycle in which the new coverage, contribution, or general ledger override records become effective.

Processing Effect

When a benefit is affected by a new coverage, contribution, or general ledger override record, the application does the following:

Stops the original benefit and deductions the day before the change is effective.
Re-adds the benefit and deductions with a start date equal to the effective date of the change.
For benefits under a flex plan, the application can create or update standard time records.

If an existing employee group used to vary a part of a plan changes, BN105 changes benefits based on the change. If a new employee group assigned to a coverage, contribution, or general ledger override was added after employees have enrolled in the plan, BN105 evaluates all benefits in effect under the plan to determine how each employee's benefits should change. For example, on 01/01/95 a plan has coverage for HOURLY and SALARIED employee groups. If coverage for the HOURLY employee group changes on 01/01/96, BN105 evaluates benefits for employees in the HOURLY group only. If on 01/01/96 coverage was also added for the employee group TEMP, BN105 evaluates all employees in the plan to determine which coverage applies to which employees.

More Information

For each updated benefit, BN105 lists the employee; the original contribution, coverage, or general ledger override parameters; the new contribution, coverage, and general ledger override parameters. You can include deductions on the report.
