Step 8: Next, please choose the option that satisfies your company’s requirements on the Benefit Transfer:
- All benefit balance of the previous year – if you choose this, ALL remaining balance of the staff for the particular benefit group will be transferred over into the next year
- Max $___ of previous year’s benefit balance – if this option is chosen, you can set a limit on the amount that can be transferred into the next year.
Example:
The staff has a remaining balance of 180 for the Transportation Benefit Group
Option number 2 is chosen, and the maximum amount set is 100
Then, only 100 will be transferred into the next year, anything over 100 will be forfeited. - Max %___ of previous year’s benefit entitlement – for this option, the system will consider 3 factors: Percentage indicated, benefit entitlement of the staff, and the staff’s remaining balance.
Example:
Staff’s Transportation Benefit Group entitlement is 500
Option 3 is chosen, set at 50%.
Then, the system will check the entitlement (500), 50% of the entitlement if 250 – this is the maximum amount that the system will allow to be transferred.
If the staff has a remaining balance of 300 – then only 250 will be transferred, the rest are forfeited
