There are important considerations related to contributions for the plan. You can define how the employee contribution is displayed to the employee. This is most important for flex clients. Choices are Employee Cost, Flex Cost, Total Cost or Both.

Employee Cost displays the contributions which have been defined under the Employee column of contribution setup. Flex Cost displays the contributions from the Flex Credit column. Total Cost calculates the Flex Credits minus Employee Cost, and displays the difference. Both displays two columns, one with the employee cost, one with the flex credits. This is only important for plans which calculate an employee contribution like health and life, not spending acocunts.

The Company Cost field determines whether you want the employee to view the company contribution. For example, you can display the company cost for health, but not for a flat amount life plan.

The Dependent field is critical to benefit plans that let employees cover their dependents. If you select Yes in the Dependents field, employees can elect which dependents are covered when the employees elect a benefit that covers dependents. This add the dependent benefits, just like using the DEP button on the benefit entry forms. If you select No in the Dependent field, the employee cannot not add dependent benefits.
