Define entry and re-entry rules

You define entry rules for initial enrollments and re-enrollments. An initial enrollment is the first time a benefit is added for an employee in a benefit type. A re-enrollment is any time an employee is enrolled in a plan type for which the employee has already had a benefit.

Note: If a plan's entry rules change, we recommend that you add a new entry rule record for the plan. You can define new rules with future dates and provides an online audit trail of changes with this method.

When you define initial entry or re-entry rules, you type the beginning date such as the hire date or anniversary date on which the employee is eligible to enroll in the benefit. You can add several months, days, or hours of service to this date that an employee must work for eligibility.

For example, an employee must work 1000 hours after the hire date, before they are eligible to enroll. To define a particular type of hours for eligibility, you use a pay class.

You can define entry rules by employee group. For example, a union employee must be employed 30 days before being eligible; a non-union employee is eligible on the hire date.
