This article explains how to associate Fringe Benefit Packages with the appropriate crafts and employees in the system. Properly linking packages ensures that benefits are accurately applied during payroll and maintains compliance with reporting requirements.

After you have created your Fringe Benefit Packages, you must connect the to the right crafts and employees. This ensures that the correct benefits are applied during payroll.

Note:
If your company is new to eComply, you’ll link fringe benefit packages to employees when creating their profiles since there are no employees in the system yet. You can make changes in the future from the employee’s Fringe Benefits tab or by using the Define Association option in the Fringe Benefit Package.

1. To define associations, open the desired Fringe Benefit Package and click the Define Association button.

2. The Define Associations screen is divided into two sections:

   • Craft Classes (Top Section): Lists all company-identified crafts and classifications.

   • Employees (Bottom Section): Lists all active employees stored in the application.

3. Under Craft Classes, check the box in the left column next to the applicable crafts and classes.

4. From the dropdown menus, select the Trade Type and Trade Sub Type.

   • For example, if you select Apprentice as the Trade Type, you can also choose the Apprentice Period as the Trade Sub Type.

   • Note: The Sub Type options are determined by the primary Trade Type you select.

5. Under Employee, check the box next to each employee who should be assigned to this Fringe Benefit Package by default.

6. Click Save.

Note: Employees can belong to multiple packages if they work in multiple classifications. Applicable amounts will be shown for each classification/package on the CPR.

If your company pays fringes on behalf of any crafts or employees, a signed Fringe Benefit Statement must also be submitted. See Adding Documents.

Once Fringe Benefit Packages are created, they must be connected to the relevant crafts and employees to ensure accurate payroll calculations. This article provides guidance on managing these associations, including how to assign packages to multiple employees or classifications, handle changes over time, and ensure compliance when fringe benefits are paid on behalf of employees. Following these procedures helps keep employee benefit data organized, complete, and ready for reporting.
