Configuring and Using Other Benefits

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to configure and use other benefits.

Other Benefits

Other benefits are benefits for which the employee is eligible for without enrolling or claiming, such as access to a corporate fitness center. Because these benefits do not have a monetary component, you do not need to create a Pay Component when creating the benefit.

Employees can view these benefits on their employee overview page. To view detailed information about these benefits or their policies, employees can use the link that appears next to each benefit.

Set Up Other Benefits

In the exercise, you will create a benefit that grants access to the fitness center for your company's employees using the Other Benefits feature, with a value of USD 100 per person per month.
