Viewing and Editing a Subgroup's Number of Pay Periods
Each "Benefits" subgroup in BerniePortal has a set number of Pay Periods. Learn how to view and update the number of Deductions/Pay Periods below.
To view a subgroup's number of Pay Periods:
- Select the "Benefits" tab in the top navigation menu.
- Select the "Subgroups" tab in the secondary navigation menu.
- Select the name of the subgroup for which you'd like to view the number of Pay Periods.
- BerniePortal will navigate to the selected subgroup's "Configure" area, which will display the number of Deductions/Pay Periods.
- Use the dropdown menu if you would like to edit the number of Deductions/Pay Periods, then select "Save Changes."
Note: Changing the number of Deductions/Pay Periods will update that subgroup's deduction calculations for any benefits included in Current and Upcoming Offer.
- If you edit the number of Deductions/Pay Periods on the "Configure" tab, you will need to adjust the deductions for all benefits in Current and Upcoming Offer, then save the subgroup.
- If employees have already enrolled in the Current Offer plans, they will need to re-elect their benefits in order to update their deductions based on the updated number of pay periods.
