We changed our basic vacation plan. The annual maximum under the new plan is 160 hours. However, some long term employees were already earning 200 hours a year. They will remain at 200 hours a year. Rather than having to manual change the vacation balance for these individuals every year, I've created a second vacation plan.
Our Benefits Class for vacation is VAC. The Benefits ID is also VAC. For the new vacation plan we are using Benefits Class VAC and Benefits ID VAC-GR. I went through the process for each of indicating the transition options of an expiration date for VAC and the Next Benefit ID for the grandfathered individuals. However, even though they have the new vacation plan showing up on their benefits tab, when we try to deduct time from the new plan, it tells us there isn't any. I'm really confused. We don't have a separate earnings type of VAC-GR set up for this. Is that the problem? I thought it would continue to use the VAC earnings type but I could be wrong. Any advice?
Thanks!
