Automatic benefit start dates

Benefit start dates are recorded on the Team Member's Benefit Detail page, accessible through the Employment Record - scroll down to the Benefits Related List and select the Benefit you want.

Benefit Start Dates are set automatically when the Team Member enrolls or re-enrolls in the Benefit. Start Date is set to one of the following values, in descending order of priority and taking the first non-null value:

  • The Benefit Plan Start Date.
  • The Benefit Enrollment Effective Date, from the Employment Record.
  • The Benefit Set Start Date.
  • Today, the Benefit selection date.
  • The Start Date is modified in line with the Cover Starting setting on the Benefit Plan:
  • If Cover Starting is set to Cover Period Start Date, Start Date is set to the specified cover period start.
  • If Cover Starting is set to Next Cover Period Start Date, Start Date is set to the start of the first cover period starting after today.
