An introduction to benefits

You can read how to create the group including the different types that are needed under Benefit group, Supplements and deduction, Pension scheme and hourly salary rates.

Setting up benefits

  1. To create benefit groups that you need, you can convert data from forms to the Benefit widget.

    Caution

    We normally recommend to at least have a group for monthly paid and hourly paid employees. Not all types are available for a monthly paid employee that are available for a hourly paid employee, which is how groups can help you.

  2. When benefit groups are created, you then insert the default form element Benefit Group on a form in order to choose which group each employee belongs to. Remember to add elements to form in Onboarding if you want it to be filled during the Preboarding of an employee.

    Note

    Refer to Standard setup of a form on how to insert the element and Allocate a benefit group to an employee on how to choose the group for an employee.

  3. If you want to be able to fill the Benefit information on employees in the Preboarding process, insert various table elements like Supplements and deductions, Hourly sales rates, and Pension scheme by hovering over an existing element and clicking +. You can also click Add element under the column details for the same function.
