BN245 - Benefit Election Form

Run BN245 (Benefit Election Form) to create benefit election or confirmation
forms for employees.

When run to update, BN245 creates CSV (Comma Separated Value) files that you
can use to import benefits information into other products such as
ReportSmith. Use jobdef and CSV file attributes to define output directories
and file names for each CSV file created.

You can run BN245 to create forms showing an employee's benefit elections on
a specific date, the plans for which an employee is eligible on a specific
date, or both. For flex benefits, the form can show an employee's flex dollars
and the benefits under a flex plan.

For each employee, BN245 lists basic information about the employee from
HR11.1 (Employee), such as the employee's Social Security number, hire date,
and so on.

To list an employee's benefits, use the Benefits Date field. The form shows
the benefits the employee has elected on the Benefits Date, including the
related coverage and contributions.

To list the plans for which an employee is eligible, use the Election Date
field. For each plan, the form shows the coverage and contributions available
to the employee. BN245 calculates an employee's eligibility based on the
employee group and postal code criterion defined in BN15.1 (Benefit Plan) and
the waiting periods defined in BN16.1 (Benefit Entry Rules).

For detailed information on the layouts of the CSV files created by BN245,
see "CSV File Layouts" in the Benefits Procedure Manual.
