How can I define values that participants can select during enrollment?

Use the Manage Rate and Coverage User Values task in the Plan Configuration work area to create user values that participants can select during enrollment.

For example, you want the participant to be able to select the following amounts of vacation time to sell:

  • 5 hours

  • 8 hours

  • 12 hours

Create a user value set that contains these values. A user value code uniquely identifies each user value. The user value code must be numeric. You associate the user value set with a rate so that the values appear for selection in the Rate column during enrollment.

In addition to selecting the amount of time participants want to sell, you can also enable them to select, for example, the pay period in which they want to receive the proceeds. In that case, you create user values for each pay period that you want participants to select. Then, you associate the user value set with a coverage so that the values appear for selection in the Coverage column during enrollment.
