Benefit Codes

Use this form to add a new Benefit Code or edit an existing one. The benefit codes entered are used throughout the system. Since the system uses benefit codes when it is calculating pay, creating an accounting entry for payroll, calculating and reporting W-2 information and other tax reports, and reporting, you must set up your benefit codes in order to use many of the forms on the Timesheets and Activities>Payroll> menus.

You must assign a General Ledger expense and liability account on the Benefits tab, in order to create an accounting entry. Use the Distribution tab to determine the distribution of the benefit expense across all other segments.
