Steps: Set Up Multiple Jobs for Benefit Eligibility

Steps: Set Up Multiple Jobs for Benefit Eligibility

You can base benefit eligibility on information pulled from the employee's primary job, or any of their other jobs. To set up Workday so that you base benefits eligibility on multiple jobs, you can:
  • Option A: Select the jobs Workday uses to determine benefit eligibility, 1 employee at a time.
  • Option B: Create rules and assign the rule to a benefit group. Workday can automatically define which jobs to use to determine an employee's benefit eligibility.
  • Option C: Use a combination of both methods. Let Workday automatically define the benefit jobs used and then override selected employees.
  1. Access the
    Edit Tenant Setup - HCM
    task.
    Select
    Multiple Jobs
    in the
    Position Setup Options
    field. Verify that employees can have additional or international jobs. See Reference: Edit Tenant Setup - HCM for details.
  2. Select the
    Combine Benefit Jobs for Salary Source
    check box to define how Workday calculates the employee's salary for insurance coverage.
  3. Create rate tables containing insurance plan costs based on amount of covered salary.
  4. (Option A) Configure the
    Change Benefit Jobs
    business process to meet the needs of your organization. Add the
    Change Benefit Elections
    to the business process for Workday to perform a benefit eligibility check when you use the
    Change Benefit Jobs
    task.
  5. (Option A Only) Review the security policy for the
    Change Benefit Jobs
    business process under the
    Benefits
    domain.
  6. (Option A Only) Create a benefit event that defines how Workday processes the changes made to employee jobs used to determine benefit eligibility.
  7. (Option B Only) Create condition rules that Workday uses to determine which employee jobs to use to determine benefit eligibility.
  8. (Option B Only) Assign the benefit job eligibility rule to a benefit group. Workday automatically determines which jobs to use to determine eligibility for all employees in the benefit group.
  9. (Required for Option A, optional for Option B) Select 1 or more of the employee's jobs to use to determine benefit eligibility. For Option B, this selection overrides the automatic job selections made by Workday based on how you configured the Benefit Job Selection Rule.
