Benefit Plan Types

A Benefit Plan Type allows you to link the benefit type to a benefit plan. This linkage clearly defines the different types of categories offered to an employee under that Benefit Plan.

  1. A Benefit Plan plan can have unlimited plan types.
  2. Plan types can be used for any benefit plan.
