Defining Benefits Defaults for a Business Group

Follow this procedure to define a default payroll for benefits administration and to configure the use of benefits assignments.

You use both the Payroll Description window and the Organization window to assign a default payroll to a business group.

When a benefits assignment is created for an employee, due to their termination or other qualifying event, the benefits assignment must have a default payroll.

You can indicate if you want the application to auto-generate benefits assignments for qualifying events. For US customers, the application creates benefits assignments by default.
