Default Setting for Timeliness Evaluation

The Timeliness Days field is defaulted to 90 days for new life events.

This default setting applies for existing life events also if their current value is null. The Timeliness Evaluation and Timeliness Days fields of all life events will have values. You can choose to have life events voided automatically, or set to manual status for administrators to review and determine the best course of action.

Here are some considerations when you use the defaulted behavior for timeliness evaluation of life events:

• Plan copy import uses the timeliness evaluation and timeliness days fields when importing plan design from an environment with null values. You don’t need to update these fields in the source environment before you run the export.
• When you create life events, the Timeliness Evaluation and Timeliness Days fields are set automatically. You can change the values in each of these fields to meet your business requirements.
• You either use the Timeliness Evaluation field or the Timeliness Days field along with the Timeliness Period Rule field, but not both.
• Evaluate all your existing life events to ensure that they meet your business requirements.

The Timeliness Days field uses the life event occurred date and the reported date to determine when to place the life event in Manual or in Voided status. For example, the Timeliness Days field is set to 31 days and the Timeliness Evaluation field is set to void the life event. The life event occurred on date is December 15, 2023. If the employee reports the event as of January 31, 2024, the event will be set to Voided.
