Definition
Organization that provides or services a benefit offering.
There are four types of rate tables: Age, Salary, Service,
and Flat. These tables are used to calculate the cost of a
benefit.
Defines the rules for calculating benefit deductions, such
as as-of dates for age, service, premium, and coverage
calculations; rounding rules; and minimum/maximum
coverage amounts.
Defines who can be covered by the benefit. Eg: Only
Spouse, Spouse and children, Only children
Defines the rules for calculating the amount of the
deduction and how payroll should process the deduction.
Any benefit category, such as health, life, or savings.
A specific benefit offering within a plan type. For example,
Basic Dental or Enhanced Dental
To define a benefit plan, identify the benefit plan type and
name the benefit plan. You can link a benefit plan to many
benefit programs; you dont need to reenter the same
benefit plan information, no matter how many benefit
programs include the plan.
Is defined through multiple components such as rate
tables and calculation rules
A collection of benefit plans. Differs by group of employees
like hourly, salaried, and executive employees. We can
defined as many programs as necessary based on the
business rules.

Bas Group ID: Group Employees based on geographical or other means of company structure
for ease of Benefit records handling.
Eligibility Rules Table: To enroll employee into a benefit program the field values should match
with the list of fields selected and defined in rules table. This acts as a matrix table for
selecting benefit program to each employee by meeting required field values.
Event Class ID: This will prioritize the benefit records on each employee based on the action.
(i.e HIR, FSC, etc.,)
Event Rules Table: Each Event rule is defined for each plan such as Medical, Dental etc., that
will process the election on each plan based on event class or a collection of event class.
Event Rules table IDs are assigned to the Benefit Program.
Snap shot, Open enrollment & Event Maintenance definition: Snapshot: Used once first time
implementing Ben Admin. Open Enrollment: Every year once at the benefit enrollment period.
Event Maintenance: Day to day use of Ben Admin to process various employee events.
Schedule Table: Assign Create snapshot, Event Maintenance & Open enrollment definition &

Event rules are not the same as eligibility rules. Eligibility rules help determine what benefit
program and benefit plan options an employee can have. They tell the system that because of
changes to employee data, Employee X is no longer eligible for certain plan options, but is
eligible for others.
Event rules determine which eligible options Employee X can actually choose, based on the
type of event that has occurred and when new coverage begins. The event rules also
determine when the plans that Employee X is now ineligible for will be terminated and which
plan options Employee X will be enrolled into if new enrollments are not specified.
Event Rules are attached to a benefit program on the Benefit Program page. We can have a
different event rule for each plan type in a benefit program.

Use the Event Class Table to assign the types or classes of events you want the system to
recognize, and to control how the system processes event classes.
Use the Event Rules Table to define the specific behavior that the system takes for each event

Manually insert events to be processed according to event rules that map to the BAS action
you enter when you run the Ben Admin process.
We can only insert event classes into the BAS Activity table that have the Manual Event
Allowed check box selected in the Event Class Table.
As delivered, we can insert two event classes manually: Family Status Change (FSC) and
Miscellaneous Status Change (MSC).
For Eg: Set up a passive event to determine which employees are eligible for certain benefits
once they've worked in the organization for a year. To do this, define a passive event with the
service date event type and an Event Limit - Months value of 12.
After setting up the passive event, the system calculates the difference between
employees' service dates and the process date, and it triggers the event for any
employees with a difference of twelve months within the date range we specify on the
Ben Admin process run control page. The system then processes the passive event.

An administrator opens an employee data page, such as the Personal Data page, and
enters a change to employee information or The employee enters a marital status or birth
or adoption change through eBenefits. (self service)
To increase the efficiency of the Event Maintenance process, the system triggers "job" and
"non-job" events from a variety of different tables. Job events are relevant to
employment, such as hires, transfers and terminations. Non-job events cause changes in
employees personal or demographic information that affect benefits eligibility or elections.
Possible non job events could be DOB Change, Postal Code Change, Service Date
Change, State Code Change.
To summarise the Base Benefits and Ben Admin setups detailed above:
Build the foundation by setting up Base Benefit information:
o Define benefit deductions using the Deduction Table.
o Identify benefit plans using the Benefit Plan Table page.
o Identify benefit providers using the Provider and Vendor Table
o Define benefit coverage using the Coverage Codes

Description
ET - Entered
A benefits administrator
(or the employee via PS
eBenefits) has entered the
participant's new elections
into the system, and they
are ready for validation by
Ben Admin process.
Participant events with a
process status of ET can
have a prior process status
of PR, NT, or RE
(Reentered).
The system encountered
an error in processing the
elections for the
participant associated with
the event. No elections are
posted to the Base
Benefits business process
tables.
Errors are posted to the
Message Table and are
identified by participant
and event.
The previous process
status was either ET or EE.
Ben Admin processing is
complete for the
participant event. All
elections have been
validated and loaded to the
appropriate Base Benefits
business process and
Payroll tables.
Events reach this status
either from a process
status of ET, EE or PR, or if
we "force finalize" a
participant.
If the participant came
from a process status of
PR due to a loss of all
eligibility, the system
inserts a termination row
for each of the
participant's current
elections.
Enables elections
associated with processing
for the participant event to
be reentered after the
participant event has been
brought to a process status
of FE.
Events are updated to RE
status through the Event
Status Update page
> If there are no errors with the elections, the elections are posted
to the appropriate benefit and payroll tables and the system
updates the process status to FE.
> If there are errors, the status becomes EE.
> If we run the Ben Admin process with Finalize selected, EE
participant events are brought to FE status, and the system goes
through the normal validation. If any of the employee's choices are
invalid, event rules are to be refered to determine whether current
elections or defaults should be loaded.
