Access: Configuration > Pay > Payroll configuration > Default code for the Offered dental protection field section  

This feature is useful for applying the code for the maximum dental coverage offered by your company in the Offered dental protection field, in the Hire screen (Employee file > Hire). Therefore, when you hire a new employee, the field is already filled in.

Important

If the maximum dental coverage offered by your company changes, do not forget to update the default code. As an employer, you are responsible for the accuracy of the data you provide to the government.

At the end of the year, if your new employees do not have dental coverage as of December 31, you must indicate code 1 - Not eligible to access any dental care insurance, or coverage of any kind in the Offered dental protection field in the employee’s file.  You will be able to modify the code only once your tax slips are produced (when the employee is entitled to dental coverage).

1Under the section, Default code for the Offered dental protection field, select the code corresponding to the maximum coverage offered by your company in the field, Offered dental protection code.

2Click on Save.  

3Our system searches for employee records where the Offered dental protection field is empty (the search is only performed when no default code has been selected. If you simply change the value of the default code, no search is performed).  

If no empty field is found: the default code is saved, and the procedure is completed.

If at least one empty field is identified: a pop-up window appears offering the option of applying the default code to employee records with an empty Offered dental protection field.

The contents of the window and the application of the code differ according to the default code selected:

Code 1: the default code is applied to all employee files (active, inactive* and terminated) whose Offered dental Protection field is empty.

Code 2 to 5: the default code is applied to active or inactive* employee files whose Offered dental Protection field is empty.  

* Employees with a Leave or Vacation status will be sorted as Inactive.

There are two options:  

OK to apply the code (recommended option).

a.The code is saved, and our application applies the default code to the relevant employee files.

b.A message is displayed containing a hyperlink that takes you directly to the function Mass modification results (Employee file > Tools > Mass modification results). From here, you can view the list of updated employee files.

Cancel to save the default code and complete the procedure. In this case, please make sure to update any employee files with an empty field. Tax slips cannot be produced for all your employees if a field is empty during processing.
