Some important notes about using dates in Benefits.

When applicable, the Coverage Begin Date field indicates the day that the Benefit Coverage will begin (e.g., Group Health Insurance). You can find this field on the benefits pages.

The Deduction Begin Date field indicates the first day of the pay period that the Benefit Deduction will begin. This field is found on the benefits pages.

Effective Dates for Starting and Ending a Benefit Deduction

Starting a benefit deduction – In the Deduction Begin Date field on the Benefits page, enter the first day of the payroll period in which the deduction should begin. However, if benefit deductions should start immediately, enter the actual date of hire for new hires in the middle of a pay period. Click the Elect button and enter the Benefit Plan.

Ending a benefit deduction – In the Deduction Begin Date field on the Benefits page, enter a new effective dated row with the first day of the payroll period in which the deduction should no longer be taken. The is generally the first day of the payroll period following the day the employee last worked in an eligible position (do not use the employment termination date).
