Configure Benefit Settings

Use the Configure Benefit Settings screen to set up controls that are used throughout Costpoint Benefits.

You can control deduction, editing, and posting methods and specify controlling pay types and deduction codes.

This is the first screen to set up in Costpoint Benefits. This screen controls the functions of all of the programs in this module.

However, before you can complete the Configure Benefit Settings screen, you must first determine whether your company will be processing dependent and medical care flexible spending accounts (FSA) and, if so, whether your company will be reimbursing those expenses using Costpoint Payroll. If you will be processing dependent and medical care FSA (regardless of whether you will be using Costpoint Payroll to reimburse), you must set up deduction codes on the Manage Deductions screen for both a dependent care benefit deduction and a health care benefit deduction. Each code must be unique. You cannot use the same deduction code for both types of FSA.

In addition, if you are using Costpoint Payroll to reimburse dependent and/or medical care expenses, you must set up a pay type on the Manage Pay Types screen for both dependent care and medical care reimbursement. You must also select the Benefit Reimbursement check box on the Manage Pay Types screen for each pay type. The pay types must be unique. You cannot use the same pay type code for both types of reimbursement.
