Understanding Benefit Group Information

A benefit group identifies a set of benefits available to a particular group of employees. For example, you might have a benefit group for executives, another for salaried employees, and another for hourly employees.

Within each benefit group are benefit categories. Benefit categories identify a type of benefit that is available to the members of the benefit group to which the benefit category belongs. For example, you can have a medical category that contains a variety of medical plans from which an individual in the Executive group can elect coverage. You can have another medical category for the Salaried group that offers different medical plans.
