Running the Employee Process Status Report in HRS

Overview

The Employee Process Status Report provides the ability for UW Benefit Administrators to manage events for their employees. The goal is to make sure all events are processed to close with a status of Finalized Enrolled, Finalized Prepared None, or Finalized Assign None. Only when all events are processed can we be assured that employees have been evaluated appropriately for benefit eligibility. A review of the Benefits Administration Schedule Summary in HRS (28470) will provide statistical data on the UW's overall achievement of processing events to close for a particular schedule.

Process Considerations:

  • Events left Open may prevent later dated Events from processing, including those that affect an employee's eligibility for benefits.
  • This process should be run multiple times throughout the final day of the Annual Benefit Enrollment period.
