To determine benefit coverage amounts and rates, your organization may elect to use benefit salary (which can include additional items such as supplemental pay) instead of annual salary (which is based on standard hours alone). Benefit salary is set to automatically calculate at specified intervals. To manually adjust an employee's benefit salary amount prior to the refresh, you submit a Change Employment Information EAN.
Note on Completion: After the EAN is submitted to ExponentHR, it will immediately complete unless:
The employee's FICA Exempt status is changing to Yes.
The employee's last hire date, employment type, pay method, OT override, or any W-4 field is changing or the FICA Exempt status is changing to No, and the current date is during the Processing Period (or after the Pay Period ends if paid in arrears).
An earlier EAN for the same employee is pending.
To check the expected completion date for the EAN, refer to the eAction Notice (EAN) Details page for the EAN. See the Related Help Topic.
