The GB FlexBens Miscellaneous Plans section outlines in greater detail the following information, where relevant, for each of the above plans:

  • Prerequisites for implementation
  • General uses
  • Specific features
  • Activities required by the customer, including configuration
  • Examples and scenarios

For more information on GB FlexBens plan categories, see: UK Specifics .

Implementation Considerations

To configure GB-specific Flexible Benefits plans for Holiday Buying/Selling, Personal Pensions or Company Car, customising must be carried out in the following sections of the Benefits Administration Implementation Guide (IMG):

Benefits AdministrationPlansHoliday Plan (FLEX)

Benefits AdministrationPlansPensions Plan (FLEX)

Benefits AdministrationPlansCompany Car (FLEX)

The above three miscellaneous plans are therefore not configured in the IMG section Benefits AdministrationPlansMiscellaneous Plans . Use this section to configure all other miscellaneous plans.
