Benefit Hierarchies

The Benefit Hierarchies button is enabled and used with Benefits assignments only. It indicates the benefit hierarchy model chosen, which determines the order benefit balances are reduced when the employee is awarded this assignment.

The left pane displays the Timeline for this record. The timeline shown is the version that contains the Search Date (entered on the Assignment Code search parameter screen).

Clicking Add Version creates a new timeline version. You will need to enter an Effective Date for the new version. This date can be in the past or in the future. Click Save Version when finished.

Clicking Delete Selected deletes the displayed timeline version. This is only allowed on replicated or added versions, not the original version, because there must always be an Assignment Source in effect.

Clicking Save when editing a timeline version only overwrites the version. It does not create a new version in the timeline.

The Comparison Report will display the differences between the selected version and the one immediately prior to it.

Benefit Hierarchy options are only available if they have been previously set up on the Benefit Hierarchy configuration screen. For more information on the fields available when filtering or searching for a record, see Configuration > Benefits > Benefit Hierarchy.
