When an employee enrolls in a scheme, you enter the enrollment details for the entitlement portion of the scheme. This includes administrative details such as the employee's account number. You can also include details of previous schemes if the current scheme allows the employee to transfer those details from the previous scheme.

When the employee terminates employment, the entitlement due is calculated internally, or by an external party. If an external party calculates the entitlement, you enter the amount here.

For schemes that are based on contributions from employee and employer, the entitlement amount is divided into employee and employer amounts, and sub-divided into mandatory and voluntary amounts. The employer's portion can be used to offset its liability for long service payment or severance payment.

By dividing the entitlement into mandatory and voluntary amounts, you can treat each portion differently. For example, in MPF schemes, there must be full and immediate vesting of mandatory employer contributions, but not for the voluntary contribution. Also, the employee's mandatory contribution may need to be withheld until the employee retires, but there may be more flexibility with the voluntary amount.

The account number field contains a unique ID of the employee who is enrolled in the scheme.

The data contains details about credit from a previous scheme the employee was enrolled in. This includes the previous scheme, the payout amount of the previous entitlement, and the period for which the employee was enrolled in the previous plan.

Besides dividing the entitlement into employee and employer amounts, and sub-dividing into mandatory and voluntary amounts, you can define the type of withdrawal for the entitlement, and specify if the entitlement is processed by the system.
