Understanding Action and Reason Categories

A pension is often based on the entire work history of an individual. An employee's service, consolidated hours, and consolidated earnings are determined by using action and reason code histories, which analyze data from different points in an employee's career. For example, employees on disability or on certain types of leaves may require service adjustments or hours and earnings generation.

You incorporate these requirements into your plan rules by referencing the action and reason fields in employees' job histories.
