We have a couple custom GP reports that produce a headcount for active enrollments in 401K and health insurance. For certain months these reports are returning incorrect headcounts due to the way the benefit start date is entered into GP.
Our pay period is always from Monday to Sunday. In order for withholdings to be taken out for 401K or health insurance the benefit enrollment must be active through out the whole pay period. Is this correct?
For example, an employee's health insurance is suppose to begin on April 1st but their health insurance benefit start date is entered in the system as March 28th in order for health insurance to be withheld on the pay check for March 29th to April 4th.
Our Health Insurance provider requires a monthly headcount of how many employees are enrolled in each plan and this is throwing off our count. I am no payroll expert. How should this be handled in GP Payroll?
