Benefits (PA-BN)

The highest-level subdivision of benefits data.

Benefit areas enable different pools of benefit plans to be administered separately, for example, in order to reflect geographical location, departments, or production areas.

Employees are sorted dynamically into benefit areas during processing, according to the corresponding feature.

Example

The medical benefits offered by a company in the chemical industry might be organized according to production areas. Employees in plastics production might have different plans than those in fertilizer production. Each of these production areas can be represented by a benefit area.
