Overview

The Benefits module manages employee benefits – insurance, pension plans, union dues, charitable contributions, car allocations, garnishments. Basically, it can handle essentially anything that has an employee contribution and/or an employer contribution.

Withholdings and remittances are calculated and sent to the Payroll module. Dates and eligibility rules will be applied automatically, with a notice to the people affected.
