Eligibility allows you to track employee hours accumulated toward benefits, vacation pay, sick pay, holiday pay, etc. Eligibility programs are added through System Administration, and employees are enrolled and eligibility is calculated on the Operations and PayBill side of StaffSuite. Awards are accumulated automatically by the system for enrolled employees every time a Timesheet is posted (or a Balance Forward or Void Check is posted). Incentives earned by employees are awarded through Timesheet Add (or Balance Forward Add).

Group Add

This option in Process Eligibility Options is used when you want to enroll employees in a program that was recently added in System Administration, when the Apply to option changes (in the New/Edit Eligibility screen), or on a regular basis to add new employees en masse rather than adding them each individually. It enrolls employees in the selected program who are not already enrolled in that program, but do have a payroll record for the corporation associated with the selected eligibility program.

Recalculate

If you want to recalculate the hours accumulated, you can use the recalculate option. This option in Process Eligibility Options identifies all employees with the selected program and then recalculates the hours accumulated during the timeframe given for each employee's hours. This option might be used when you have added a program that you want to apply retroactively.

Overview

There are several phases to Eligibility in different divisions of the StaffSuite system; this is an overview of the phases with a list of the different functional areas. A blue underlined link takes you to the help topic that discusses each function.
