Manual Adjustments for Healthcare Premiums - New Hire or Rehire - On the 1st or 1st Working day of the Month
Use this procedure to assist with manual adjustments for healthcare premiums for employees who are newly hired or rehired on the 1st of the month or on the 1st working day of the month.
Before beginning with this procedure, you should have already completed the following identification procedures:
- Manual Adjustments for Healthcare Premiums – Identify Premium Adjustments – Medical and Dental Amounts
- Manual Adjustments for Healthcare Premiums – Identify Premium Adjustments – Surcharge Amounts
- Manual Adjustments for Healthcare Premiums – Identify Premium Adjustments – Health Savings Account Amounts
The identification procedures will assist in determining which manual adjustments will be required for the employee and the necessary adjustment amounts.
When a new hire or rehire who is eligible for health coverage starts on the first working day of the month, entries must be made on the Additional Payments (0015) infotype to collect health care premiums for the full month. These employees do not have a paycheck on the 10th of the month to deduct premiums from, therefore no contributions are automatically taken for the first half of the month. Adjustments are needed to collect amounts due for the full month on the 25th paycheck.
All employee adjusting wage types must be keyed in the current period; adjusting wage types should not be entered retroactively.
