Once the benefit or deduction code has been created in the system you can add this code to all the employees in the database or to a select group of employees.

 

Adding a New Benefit or Deduction Code to All Employees

 

1.  Select Human Resources

2.  Select Human Resources Control Center

3.  Select Employee Deductions & Benefits

4.  Under the option Select a Deduction/Benefit to Process select the new code that was created.

5.  This screen has been divided into three areas.  The first area of the screen shows all the employees that have been “Assigned and Active” for this code. The next area of the screen shows the employees that “Have but Inactivated” and the third area of the screen shows the employees that are “Un-Assigned Employees.”

 

 

6.  To assign this new code to all of the employees, select the check mark in the third area of the screen under the “Un-Assigned Employees.”  This will place a check mark next to each employee in this area.  This screen will show 20 employees at a time unless the option at the top in the middle section is selected that will “Display All Employees (100 max) in lists below.”

 

 

7.  Once all of the employees are selected select the green plus button labeled Add New.  This will move all of the selected employees over to the section of the screen labeled “Assigned and Active.”  You may have to select Add new plus sign a couple of times as the maximum amount of employees that will move over at one time is 100.

 

 

Adding a Deduction or Benefit Code to a Select Group of Employees

5.  The employees that are available to move over to the “Assigned and Active” area of the screen are just the ones with Job Code 101.

6.  Select the green check mark button and all the employees in this group will be selected.  Then click on the green plus button add new and all of the employees will move over to the “Assigned and Active” area.
