Benefit Hierarchy

The Benefit Hierarchy screen indicates the benefit plans to be reduced and the pay code to be used when awarding employees benefits.

The Reduce Order field determines the order these plans are reduced. If there is an insufficient balance available for the benefit plan in the first hierarchy reduce order, the system moves to the plan set up in the second reduce order, and so on.

The reduce order can also be set up so that if there is an insufficient benefit balance, the remainder is charged to an "unpaid" pay code that is not linked to a benefit plan, and the employee is not paid for those hours.

The following Benefit Hierarchy Sections are available:
