Available Plan Types by Category
Within each category, PeopleSoft offers a set of predefined benefit plan types. The system looks for this
number during the benefit deduction calculation phase to determine the table in which to find the processing
rules.
This table provides the number sequencing for the delivered plan categories:

Defining and Adding Plan Types

Benefit plans are the benefits that you want to offer to your employees. Benefit plans are divided into
categories. To identify the categories, PeopleSoft uses a two-digit, alphanumeric numbering sequence. Ten
categories are already set up in the Base Benefits system.
Plan types are a high-level key field to the Benefit Plan and Deduction tables. They determine proper COBOL
processing and the page appearance of the plan attribute tables. You can change or add new plan types, but do
not delete the delivered plan types.

e
l
c

Note. You should work within the PeopleSoft plan type series. If you add plan types that do not conform to
the provided series, you must update the associated processing logic.

Scroll Areas
Most pages used in benefits processing have multiple scroll areas. Each scroll area represents a different, but
related, database table. A group box surrounds the fields that a scroll area controls.
Scroll areas enable you to:
Insert and delete rows of data in a table.
View multiple rows of data in a table or view one row at a time.
Multiple scroll areas enable you to maintain multiple records for related tables.
Because pages are structured to access more than one table, insert and delete buttons appear inside scroll
areas to ensure that you modify rows in the proper table.

Key Structure
The key structure determines how you maintain your tables in terms of inserting, deleting, or changing rows
of data. For example, if you insert a row of data into the second table, key fields are transferred from the first
table. If you insert a row of data into the third table, key fields are transferred from the first and second tables.

Note. Some pages are structured to allow access to more than one table. To ensure that you are modifying
rows within the proper table, make sure to use the insert and delete buttons within the corresponding scroll
area.

benefit program the employee is in. In addition, coverage in some plans is based on the employee's annual
compensation rate. If you need to use a different annual rate (for example, with commission sales employees),
plans can be based on an alternate rate, the Annual Benefits Base Rate.

Lesson 3

Setting Up Payroll Deductions

Tax Classification
Each deduction requires at least one tax classification, but it can have multiple classifications. For example, a
deduction for a life insurance plan may use all tax classifications except for Nontaxable Benefit. Savings plan
deductions may use all five classifications.
The system processes deductions according to priority within a classification. A before-tax deduction is
applied prior to an after-tax deduction with one exception. If an after-tax deduction cannot be applied
completely, the system considers all before-tax deductions and does not apply a before-tax deduction with a
lower priority (higher number).
The following table describes tax classifications:
Tax Classification

Description

After-Tax

Calculated after taxable gross and reduces employee net


pay. An example is a monthly disability deduction. After
tax is the default option.

Before-Tax

Calculated before taxable gross and reduces both taxable


gross and employee net pay. An example is an employee
contribution to a retirement plan, such as 401(k) plan in
the U.S., and RRSP or Pension in Canada.

Nontaxable Benefit

Has no effect on taxable gross or employee net pay. The


employer contribution to an employee benefit, such as a
health plan or retirement plan is an example. Use this
option to track the employer contribution through the
payroll system.

Calculated before taxable gross and added to taxable


gross. The system reduces employee net pay by the
amount of the tax. A U.S. example of a taxable benefit is
an employer contribution to the cost of group term life
insurance for coverage in excess of 50,000 USD. In
Canada, the entire employer portion for life insurance is
designated as taxable.

Student Notes
Understanding Deduction Tax Effects

c
A

This is an important page for setting up the tax effect on your taxable gross buckets. If this page is set up
incorrectly, it could cause a reconciliation problem for yearend slips and tax calculation that would be
difficult to resolve. For example, if you are setting up life insurance as a taxable benefit, Canadian Income
Tax is already affected by indicating taxable benefit, but you have to ensure that the effect on CPP is
indicated as "Adds To" but not the effect on employment insurance. Employment insurance remains as "No
Effect." Employment insurance is only indicated for Board and Lodging and Group RRSP taxable benefits. If
you have Quebec employees, you have to indicate that QPP and QIT is "Adds To." T4 and RL Grosses needs
to be "Adds to" in case you want to report on those buckets to review what your Box 14 on T4 and Box A on
Releve 1 would be.

Will this deduction be deducted from checks other than regular paychecks (for example, bonus checks) that
are issued during the same pay period?

e
l
c

Should the deduction continue after an employee is terminated?

a
r
O

The system considers both the Deduction Arrears Allowed and the Partial Deduction Allowed options when
determining how to apply a deduction whose amount is greater than net pay.

Setting Up Payroll Deductions

Lesson 3

Activity Overview
Global Business Institute (GBI) is adding a new benefit program for executive employees, effective January
1, 2002. You are on the implementation team, and it is your responsibility to set up the program. In
consecutive activities, you will set up the following plans so that they can be included in the executive benefit
program.
Plan Type

Description

Medical

Provides coverage for employees and eligible dependents.

Plan 1 provides comprehensive coverage and pays 100 percent of covered


hospital expenses with no deductible.

(USA) Plan 2 provides supplemental coverage and pays 80 percent of covered


hospital expenses with an annual deductible of 100 USD for each covered
individual.
Dental

Provides full coverage for preventive, minor and major restorative, and
orthodontia with a 100 USD deductible for each covered individual.

Life

Basic life insurance of two times the employee's annualized base pay is provided
at no cost.

Disability

Long Term Disability pays 66 2/3 percent of pre-disability pay (up to 7,500 USD
monthly) and remains level through out disability.

Savings

For U.S. employees, the company will match 50 percent of an employee's


before-tax contribution up to 6 percent of the employee's gross pay during the first
two years of service. After two years of service, the company will match 100
percent of the employee's before-tax contribution up to 6 percent of the
employee's gross pay. Employees may contribute up to 12 percent before or
after-tax, or any combination of the two, as long as the total does not exceed 12
percent.

Pension

Canadian employees may contribute 4 percent up to Yearly Maximum


Pensionable Earnings (YMPE ) and 6 percent over YMPE. The company will
match 50 percent.

Lesson 3

Setting Up Payroll Deductions

(USA) Creating Deduction Codes


Create a medical deduction with no maximum arrears payback and a before-tax classification. The deduction
should subtract from both FICA and FUT. Allow for partial and arrears deductions. Define a second,
nontaxable benefit tax effect with no partial or arrears deductions allowed. Set up weekly deductions.
Create a life insurance deduction with no maximum arrears payback with a nontaxable and a taxable benefit
option. The taxable option will add to FICA and have no effect on FUT. Partial and arrears deductions are not
allowed.
Create a 401(k) deduction with no maximum arrears payback and after-tax, nontaxable, and nontaxable
before-tax benefit options.
(CAN) Creating Deduction Codes
Create a medical deduction with no maximum arrears payback and an after-tax classification. The deduction
will have no tax effect. Allow for partial and arrears deductions. Define a second, nontaxable benefit tax
effect with no partial or arrears deductions allowed. Set up weekly deductions.
Create a life insurance deduction with no maximum arrears payback with a nontaxable and a taxable benefit
option. The taxable option will add to QIT, CPP, QPP, T4 and RL. Partial and arrears deductions are not
allowed.
Create a pension plan deduction with no maximum arrears payback and a before-tax option that subtracts
from QIT, CPP, QPP, and EI. Allow partial and arrears deduction processing.

Setting Up Payroll Deductions

Lesson 3

Review
In this lesson, you learned that:
Payroll deductions are set up on the Deduction table.
Each deduction has at least one tax classification.
If an employee's net pay is insufficient to cover taxes and deductions, you can track and collect outstanding
balances.
You can specify the tax effects of the deduction.
Deductions are applied at the same frequency for all tax classifications.

Student Notes
Making Planning Decisions

e

Before creating the actual tables for your benefit plans, you must consider these questions:
Which plan type category does this plan best fit into?
How will the deduction be processed?

Who is sponsoring the plan?

c
A

What best describes this health plan?


What type of rate will I need to use?

Will I need to specify calculation rules for this type of rate?

Not all plan types or plans require the use of the Calculation Rules table, such as health plans that use the Flat
Rate type table to determine costs. However, because an entry must be made in the Calc TblID field on the
Cost page of the Benefit Plan Table component, PeopleSoft delivers KNON as a dummy rule for entry in this
field when the Flat Rate option is selected in the Benefit Rate Type field.
An example of when you need to set up a calculation rule is when you use the age-graded rate table for life
insurance. The Calculations Rules table specifies age as of what date.

Note. You should set up a worksheet to organize your information before you begin entering data into the
system.

Considerations Before Making Planning Decisions
Before modifying the actual tables, you must consider these questions:

Where do we send payments?

Plan attribute tables can't be built without first building the Benefit Plan table. Because of this, you can
consider the plan attribute tables as a continuation of the Benefit Plan table.
Note. When the system retrieves information from the Benefit Plan table, it also checks the plan attribute
table. Because SQL often joins these tables, if the values are not defined in the tables or if a row is missing,
the system might not know that a benefit plan type is defined.

Understanding Coverage Codes

On the Coverage Code table, you define the minimum and maximum enrollments allowed for multiple
covered person types.
You set up a rate on one of the rate tables that corresponds to the cost of a particular coverage code. The rate
and the coverage code are linked in the Benefit Program component.

Lesson 4

Setting Up Benefit Plans, Health Plans, and Benefit Programs

Understanding Imputed Income


Imputed income is conceptual income that a company pays to a third party on behalf of an employee. The
employee does not actually receive the money. For example, premium amounts for life insurance in excess of
50,000 USD in coverage are considered taxable income. This conceptual income is added to the employee's
gross wages, and the employee is taxed on this amount.
The IRS considers benefits received by nonqualified dependents to be taxable income. For example, the IRS
taxes employees for the employer-paid portions of domestic partner health benefits, and it also taxes all of the
benefits that nonqualified dependents receive from dependent life plans. In both cases, the system performs
imputed income calculations.
Note. To correctly deduct and calculate imputed income, you must set up deduction codes that include a
taxable deduction classification.

Lesson 4

Activity Overview
In this activity, you will set up the medical and dental plan options that are available for your executives.
Medical
You will set up the following medical plans:
Plan 1 provides comprehensive coverage and pays 100 percent of covered hospital expenses with no
deductible.
(USA) Plan 2 provides supplemental coverage and pays 80 percent of covered hospital expenses with an
annual deductible of 100 USD for each covered individual.
Dental
The dental plan provides full coverage for preventive, minor, and major restorative and orthodontia with a
100 USD deductible for each covered individual.
When you're finished, you'll have several unique table entries or distinct pieces of information. You will then
link these pieces to form your benefit plans when you assemble your benefit program.
Note. Some values have already been set up in the system. In Lesson 3, Activity 1, you set up the deduction
codes. One vendor ID has been created already for this activity. You will be building the tables in italics
below.

Lesson 4

Review
In this lesson, you learned that:
To create a health plan, you use data that is set up in the Plan Type table, the Deduction Code table, the
Provider/Vendor table, the Benefit Plan table, the Health Plan table, and the Benefit Rate table.
The Provider/Vendor Table page can interface with PeopleSoft Enterprise Payables.
The Benefit Plan and Health Plan tables share the same key structure.
You link the coverage codes to rates in a benefit program.
You use the Benefit Rate Table page to establish a rate.
A benefit program is set up in three levels: benefit program effective date, plan type, and plan options.

Lesson 5

Setting Up Life Insurance Plans

Example: Reduction of AD/D Coverage


A company offers the following life insurance and AD/D plans to its employees:
Life
Supplemental Life
AD/D
The individual maximum coverage, specified on the calculation rules table for each plan, is $400,000.
However, if you enroll in all plans, you can be covered only up to $1,000,000. Using the coverage group code
of GBI, the plans are set up like the first row in the diagram.
If you selected life insurance for $400,000, plus supplemental life for $400,000, plus AD/D for $400,000, the
total coverage would be $1,200,000. However, because the maximum coverage for the group is $1,000,000,
your AD/D is automatically reduced to $200,000.
Important! Only Payroll for North America actually reduces the ultimate coverage. Coverage is allocated in
deduction-code-priority order, so the last deductions (benefit plans) to be calculated are the ones that are
reduced. In addition, the coverage recorded for an employee on the benefit election page is not modified by
payroll. The coverage will always stay at the level that the employee desires.
Note. The sum of the coverage for plans that reference a coverage group code cannot exceed a specified limit.
The limit may be less than the sum of the individual limits. If coverage is selected that exceeds the group
limit, the system automatically reduces coverage to meet the limit. The system calculates coverages in order
of priority, adjusting the lower-priority coverages if they exceed the group coverage maximum.

You can create formulas to define how coverage should be calculated. Coverage formulas are used by both
life and disability insurance plans. You can specify how the benefits compensation base is determined, a
formula to apply against that base to derive a coverage amount, and limits on the coverage amount. You can
also define whether the coverage is subject to reduction based on attained age.

Understanding Annual Benefits Base Rates


In many benefit plans, most commonly life, ADD, and disability plans, the benefit levels are determined
based on a certain definition of the employee's salary. Using different definitions of salary for different
benefit plans is common.
You can define and use an unlimited number of annual benefits base rates.

Setting Up Disability Plans

Lesson 6

Review
In this lesson, you learned that:
Disability plans require the use of the Calculations Rules table.
You can set up a coverage formula to define the basis for disability plan coverage.
You use the Disability Plan table to define the plan's maximum monthly benefit and salary replacement
percentage.
You can use the Length of Service Months type rate table to vary the proportion of the premium that is
paid by the employee and the employer depending on duration of employment with the organization.
Disability plans can be added to any benefit program.

Lesson 7

(USA) Setting Up Savings Plans

Employer Investment Limits


You can define the maximum amount the employer contributes to a savings plan, either on a matching or
non-matching basis.
When defining a non-matching contribution plan, this data defines the actual amount an employer
contributes. For example, your organization might fund savings plans with after-tax dollars at 3% of the
employee's earnings, up to 500 USD per pay period. You would enter 3 in the After Tax % of Earnings
Limit field and 500 in the Amount per Pay Period Limit field.
When defining a plan that has an employer match, this data defines the maximum amount of employee
funds eligible for matching, rather than defining the amount of the employer match itself. For example,
your organization might match 50% of an employee's contributions, but only on a before-tax basis, up to
6% of earnings or 1,000 USD per pay period, whichever is less. In this example, you would enter 6 in the
Before Tax % of Earnings Limit field and 1000 in the Amount per Pay Period Limit field.
Use the Combined % Earnings Limit field to combine the limits for both before and after tax employer
match.
Use the Limit Employee Match field to specify whether the limit or reduction is applied before or after the
employer match is calculated. This feature applies only for employer match calculations that use the
Service Step table.

Suppose that your organization matches 25 to 100 percent (depending on the employee's length of service) of
the employee's before-tax 401 (k) amounts, up to 10 percent of the employee's earnings. You can create a
service step code that specifies the years-of-service match to be 25 percent after one year, 50 percent after

Example: Before- and After-Tax Matching


Suppose that you have a 401 (k) plan that's set up to match:
100 percent of the employee's before-tax contributions, for contributions up to three percent of earnings.
50 percent of the employee's before-tax contributions, for contributions over three percent and up to six
percent of earnings.
100 percent of the employee's after-tax contributions, for contributions up to two percent of earnings.
75 percent of the employee's after-tax contributions, for contributions over two percent and up to four
percent of earnings.
50 percent of the employee's after-tax contributions, for contributions over four percent and up to six
percent of earnings.

Limit Table page (3 of 3)

Note. If you use PeopleSoft Payroll for North America, establish limit table values for your saving plan using
the limit type as the key. The limit type determines which fields are available on the Limit Table page.

Limits

Limits are associated with deduction codes. When the payroll department runs the pay calculation process,
the system determines whether a deduction is associated with any limits. If it is, the system runs the testing
calculations and makes the limit adjustments to all affected employees' records. If a deduction cannot be
taken, it is reported with the appropriate reason-not-taken code.

e
l
c

Certain qualified benefit savings plans might be subject to government regulations. These regulations are
usually designed to place limits on the amount that employees can contribute each year, to prevent the
qualified plan from being used as a tax shelter, and to define the amount that an individual can receive at
retirement.

a
r
O

Each limit that you set up is associated with a limit type and benefit program.

181

(USA) Setting Up Savings Plans

Lesson 7

401 Limit
The 401 limit eliminates the tax advantage that highly compensated employees have by participating in
qualified plans. This limit sets up a maximum amount (or cap) on the employee's annual earnings during the
calculation of the employee's contribution. When the system calculates the employee annual earnings, it
applies the 401 limit to the Special Accumulator field defined in the Savings Plan Table component, not to
the Special Accumulator field on the Limit Table page.
For example, the limit is set up so that (as of 2006) only the first 220,000 USD of each employee's
compensation can be taken into account in a qualified plan's contribution formula. If an employee earns
300,000 USD per year and this employee is enrolled in a 401 (k) savings plan with a 10 percent contribution
rate, the maximum amount that this employee can contribute for the year 2006 is 22,000 USD (10 percent of
220,000 USD, not 10 percent of 300,000 USD).
Note. Benefit plans entered on the Limit Table page are entered under Deductions Subject to Limit and
typically include 4x deductions (minus 4A employee stock purchase plans) for all tax classes.

402 Limit
The 402 limit imposes a flat annual limit on the amount that an employee can contribute as an elective
deferral.
The maximum amount that an employee can contribute on a before-tax basis for the year 2005 is 14,000
USD. It increased to 15,000 USD for 2006.

y
m

The employee in the previous example can contribute 17,000 USD total, but the maximum amount on a
before-tax basis (for the year 2006) is 15,000 USD (a difference of 2,000 USD). The deduction process will
stop taking the deduction when the 15,000 USD limit is met. Unless the employee is enrolled in a rollover
account, the excess amount is refunded to the employee's paycheck.

e
d
a

c
A

Note. Benefit plans are entered under Deductions Subject to Limit and typically include 4x and 8x deductions
(minus 4A employee stock purchase plans) as a before-tax class.

The 403 limit (also known as MEA) determines the maximum amount that an employee can contribute to
403(b) savings plans. In addition to the 403 limits, 403(b) savings plans are also subject to 402 and 415 limits.
To calculate this amount:

1. Multiply the employee's eligible earnings by 20 percent.

2. Multiply the figure by the employee's total years of service.


3. Subtract the prior year's pretax contributions.

Lesson 7

(USA) Setting Up Savings Plans

415 Limit
The 415 limit restricts the total amount that an employee can contribute to defined savings plans. 401(k) plans
are the most common type of defined savings plans to be within Section 415, but other types include
profit-sharing, money purchase pensions, stock bonuses, thrift savings, and target benefit plans.
Employee year-to-date contributions cannot exceed either a specific percentage amount of the employee's
eligible earnings or a specific flat annual amount.
If, for a given payroll, the employee's contribution exceeds the limits, the contribution must be reduced to be
within the limits.
Note. 415 limit types on the Limit Table page would include benefit plans under Deductions Subject to Limit
(typically including 4x and 8x deductions, but not 4a plans, for all tax classes). They would also include
Deductions Which Add to Special Accumulator (which are typically plans apart from the 4x and 8x plans that
are taxable) and Deductions Which Subtract From Special Accumulator (consisting of before-tax plans other
than 4x and 8x).

457 Limit
Section 457 plans are deferred compensation plans offered by state and local governments and employers that
are exempt from federal income tax. The amount deferred annually by an employee cannot exceed a specific
flat amount or one-third of the employee's taxable income, whichever is less.

Lesson 7

(USA) Setting Up Savings Plans

Review
In this lesson, you learned that:
You do not define rate tables for savings plans because premium amounts are not required.
You use the Savings Plan Table component to define employee contribution limits and employer matching
rules.
You use the Service Step table to define employer matching based on the number of months that an
employee has served.
You can define plan limits based on your organization's rules and based on federal regulations.
The Age-50 Catch-up process identifies employees who are age 50 or over and generates the savings
management pages used to monitor their catch-up contributions.
You can add savings plans to any benefit program.

by calendar year, but also by fiscal year, benefit year, or any other method. PeopleSoft delivers CY (calendar
year). To create a new balance year type, enter the new year and click the Create button. The system

You specify the start and end dates for each type of balance year that you set up, as well as the quarters,
periods, and date ranges for each year. You can update, adjust, and report on balance information by various
year types.
Note. When defining balances to be maintained, you can create a calendar year or a noncalendar year.

How To Use the Balance ID Table 2 Page

Use the Balance ID Table 2 page to define the actual quarter by year for each balance ID.
If you selected the Bal for Calendar Year check box and clicked the Create button on the Balance ID Table 1
page, the system populates field information for the Balance ID Table 2 page.

If you did not specify a balance type with a calendar year in the Balance ID Table 1 page, you must enter a
value for the Year, Qtr, Period Name, Abbrev, From Period, and Thru Period fields. For each row that you
add after the first, the From Period field is set automatically based on the value in Quarters in a Year.

HIPAA Scenarios
Some of the ways in which HIPAA affects employees and their families include:
HIPAA limits the period of preexisting medical condition restrictions so that most plans must cover an
individual's preexisting condition after 12 months.
Under HIPAA, your new employer's plan is required to give you credit for the length of time that you had
continuous health coverage that reduces the 12-month exclusion period.
Not all preexisting conditions are covered under HIPAA.
Preexisting condition exclusions cannot be applied to pregnant women or to newborn or adopted children.
You may not impose a preexisting condition exclusion period for any condition for which no medical
advice, diagnosis, care, or treatment was recommended or received more than 6 months before the
enrollment date.

Lesson 18

Using Multiple Jobs Within Benefits

Student Notes
Features of Multiple Jobs
The Multiple Jobs feature enables you to hire an employee into more than one job at any given time. For this
section, consider the example in the slide of an employee who works at a university with a hospital. For tax
and legal reasons, the university and hospital are set up as separate companies. The employee holds four
concurrent jobs-professor, dean, and researcher at the university, and physician at the teaching hospital.
This is different from an employee simply moving from one job to another over time, or prorating salary
expenses over different departments, because the jobs can be treated as separate entities for Payroll for North
America, Base Benefits, and reporting purposes, or they can be logically grouped.
You must use the Multiple Jobs feature to accommodate:
Employees with multiple concurrent jobs in different companies.
In the US, this would mean multiple federal employer identification numbers.
Employees with multiple benefits eligibilities due to multiple jobs.
The need to distribute all employee expenses (not just earnings) among different cost centers.
For benefits expenses, this is by benefit record, although, this can also be handled through commitment
accounting.

y
m

The real power of the Multiple Jobs feature lays in how jobs are processed in the back-end modules such as
Payroll for North America, Base Benefits, and Pension Administration.
You might not need to use the Multiple Jobs feature if:
Employees never hold multiple jobs concurrently.
Proration of earnings expense without other expenses is acceptable.

Note. The Benefit Record Number is zero by default. You manually change this field when appropriate.
Because you are maintaining an effective-dated history of primary jobs for benefits according to a set of strict
rules, don't change the benefit record number of an existing job. Doing so invalidates the primary job
indicators that reside on the effective-dated Primary jobs table and can result in erroneous processing within

Deduction Calculations for Multiple Jobs

For deduction processing to work, the system needs to know which jobs should contribute salary information
when calculating the deductions or coverage amount for salary-based plans.
To calculate the deduction or coverage amount for salary-based plans, the system needs to know the jobs that
contribute salary information. To keep track of this information, the system uses the:
Primary Jobs table, which is automatically created whenever a job is added using the Add Concurrent Job
pages and updated whenever a job is terminated, based upon rules that you define in the Multiple-Job Optns
(multiple job options) page.

Activity 23: Implementing Multiple Jobs


In this activity, you will review the activity overview and:
Include multiple jobs in calculation rules.
Define employee benefit options.
Slide 195

Activity Overview
Your employee ([USA] Patrick Kelly, KULM01, and [CAN] Tyler Jackson, KCLM01) have been hired with
multiple jobs. In this activity, you will set up calculation rules for multiple jobs and assign a concurrent job,
with new benefits options, to the employee. Then you will assign this employee to new plans and rerun the
Deduction Calculation process.
You need two calculation rules that include multiple jobs. You will modify an existing calculation rule to
include only the jobs flagged with a benefit record for deduction processing, and you will create a new rule.
The new rule will include all jobs flagged for deduction processing. You will assign the new calculation rules
to your X benefit program.
You need to implement the following settings:
