    Our BS05 is set to allow New Hire Enrollment 30 days from Ben Date 1.  We have an instance where an employee was allowed to enroll on 7/27/16 when their Ben Date 1 was 6/27/2016.  The BS05 field help clearly states the "this number of days (30) starts on the date in the From Date field (in our case, Ben Date 1)."  Any ideas on how this employee was allowed to enroll on the 31st day?  Thanks.

          @ Margie, the field help says the date entered is the first day to count (I thought like you did at first too), so 6/27 would be day 1, rather than 6/28, so 7/27 comes out to be the 31st day.
          @ FEd, correct, no prior benefit history. They are a new employee with no prevoius history at our company.

            I know this might be a stretch but did you check the timestamp on the enrollment?  If the employee started the new hire enrollment before midnight, it may have allowed them to "complete" the enrollment the next day.  We found this out during benefits open enrollment.  We had an employees complete the annual enrollment process on 12:02 a.m. the day after open enrollment ended.  We were able to determine that they had started the enrollment on the final day just before midnight, so the EMSS enrollment process allowed the record to save.  Might be something to at least check....

              I thought that might have happend. The time stamp shows 12:48:12. I thought that the system worked on a 24hr clock, so that would mean this time was 48 past noon. Does midnight show as 00 or 24 on a time stamp, do you know?
