Identifies whether the Empl Rcd contains a benefits-eligible or benefits-ineligible Job Code.
Field CharacteristicDescription
Valid Value Rule(s):
  • Accept default of 0.  Upon SAVE, the Save Edit functionality automatically assigns the correct value.
  • Auto-assigned.
  • Jobs that share the same Benefit Record Number also share the same Benefit Program.
  • It is best not to change the benefit record number of an existing job. Doing so invalidates primary job indicators on the effective-dated Primary Jobs Table and can result in erroneous processing within Benefits Administration and PeopleSoft Enterprise Payroll for North America, which may lead to abnormal termination of some processes.
  • Whenever changes are made through the Job Data, Assign Additional Jobs, or Current Job components, the system checks that only one job within a given benefit record is designated as the primary job.
