Use

The employer portion of costs for a benefit plan can take either of the following forms:

  • Separate cost (indicator set)

    The employer portion is not credited to the employee. The employer cost is an additional cost and the employee's pay check is not affected.

  • Credit to the employee (indicator not set)

    The employer portion is used to reduce the cost for the plan to the employee by increasing the employee's next pay.

Whether or not an employee must pay tax on a credited employer portion is a factor that will influence whether or not you set this indicator for a plan.

Dependencies

The indicator is used in the benefits cost summary to list costs separately for plans where the employer portion is credited to the employee and plans where the employer portion is an additional cost.

Since there is no link between this indicator and Payroll, you need to set up the corresponding wage types in the Wage Type Valuation table (T512W) so that they match the indicator setting. For example, employer portions that are credited to the employee should be cumulated in an appropriate cumulation wage type so that they are paid correctly to the employee.

Example

A plan has an employee cost of $100 and an employer portion of $40. The indicator works as follows:

  • If the employer portion is not credited to the employee, the total costs of the plan are $140.
  • If the employer portion is credited to the employee, the total cost of $100 is deducted from the employee. The real cost to the employee, however, is $60.
