In this step, you define coverage variants to determined which factors influence the coverage an employee is entitled to in a plan. Variants are plan-specific; each plan has its own variant(s).

You do not enter actual coverage in this step. You simply define the possible ways in which coverage for a plan can vary depending on selected criteria.

For plans in the category Insurance, you determine how coverage varies for coverage options in the step Define Insurance Plan Attributes. For plans in the category Miscellaneous, you determine how coverage varies for plan options in the step Define Miscellaneous Plan Attributes. Note that you only need to define coverage variants for those miscellaneous plans that you specified as coverage-relevant and requiring a coverage variant in the step Define Miscellaneous Plan General Data.

Before you start to define coverage variants, you need to do the following:

  1. Determine how often coverage varies for different coverage options.

    This indicates how many coverage variants you need. Note the following:

    • If a plan has set coverages (including salary multiples), you need a coverage variant for each.
    • If a plan allows employees to choose any amount of coverage within a range, you need only one coverage variant.
    • If a plan has options, you will need a coverage variant for each option.
  2. Determine how coverage varies according to employee data.

    This determines how you need to set up your variants using employee groupings. For each variant, you can specify a parameter group and coverage grouping to determine coverage.

Example 1

In the Standard Life insurance plan, there are the following set coverages:

  • $40,000
  • $70,000

Two coverage variants 40KK and 70KK must be set up, one for each coverage.

Example 2

In the Extra Life insurance plan, employees can choose their coverage in multiples of $10,000. The maximum coverage an employee can choose varies according to the salary groups in the parameter group STRD.

The coverage variant BASC is entered, with parameter group STRD, and the salary group indicator selected.

Requirements

You have created any parameter groups that you want to assign to your variant in the step Define Parameter Groups.

Activities

  1. Select the period for which the variant is valid.

    This period applies to all rules associated with the variant.

  2. Specify the criteria that are relevant to the calculation of coverage in the variant.
    1. If you specify a parameter group, indicate which of the referenced employee criteria groups you want to use.
    2. Set the Coverage grouping indicator if you want to use this feature to group employees.
    3. Indicate whether the gender of the employees or whether or not they are smokers are coverage criteria.
    4. Specify whether the age and/or gender of the employee, spouse, or domestic partner is used as the basis for determining coverage.
  3. If, for any of the criteria you have attributed to the variant, you want employees to be allocated to a grouping using values on a specific day, enter a cutoff day. Otherwise the system calculates the grouping based on the calculation base date.
  4. If you want to use a date other than the employee's hire/termination date as the start/end date for seniority calculation, enter a date override.

    For the calculation of seniority, you have the option of entering a calculation process instead of using the standard benefits calculation.

  5. If want to assign rules to the variant in which coverage is based on employee salary, and you want the benefit salary used as a basis to be calculated on a day other than the calculation base date, enter a cutoff day.
