BN57.1 - Vesting Hours

Use BN57.1 (Vesting Hours) to track employee vesting hours for defined
contribution and defined benefit plans.

The Benefits system tracks vesting hours using the plan's vesting pay class
in the Vesting Compensation form tab of BN15.1 (Benefit Plan). The system
maintains vesting hours based on the Vesting From Date in Vesting Compensation
form tab in BN15.1 (Benefit Plan). PR199 (Payroll Close) updates vesting hours
of service beginning with the first payroll run after you begin using the
Benefit system.

BN57.1 tracks vesting hours for all employees, even if the employee is not
enrolled in a defined contribution or defined benefit plan. This lets plans
track vesting hours for employees before they enroll in a plan.

If the plan counts vesting for years before the plan start date, the Benefits
system assumes that the employee met the minimum vesting requirements for each
of those years. (You establish minimum vesting requirements when you set up
the defined contribution or defined benefit plan.)

If an employee did not meet minimum vesting requirements for a year, you can
define the actual number of vesting hours for that year. If you define an
amount of hours for a year that is less than the minimum vesting requirement,
the system does not count that year.
