NEW HIRE PROCESS • Employees hired in the current Plan Year. • The Benefit calculation date is October 1 of the preceding year. • Example: Employee hired in PY 2008, the benefits are based on the employee’s age as of October 1, 2007. • If you elect to prepare an option statement using FLEXHELP, you may use the actual hire date.
