Q. When should I create employment classifications? Can Ideon manage these assignments?

A. Ideon can create, manage, and assign employment classifications in many common cases. If the employment classifications are based on common employment details, we might already have the information on the subscriber or qualifying_life_event to sort the member into the correct identifier.

Common Classifications that we can manage if certain data elements are included:

• Hourly or Salary - provide the compensation field

• Full-Time or Part-Time - if status is provided in more detail than active

• Work Hours - provide the hours_per_week field

• Work State or Residential State - if the Work States are different than the primary location or secondary_location, provide the work_state field

• Work Location - associate the member with a location_id that has a physical address

• Time at the Company - provide an accurate employment_start_date

• Salary - provide annual_earnings or wages, if needed, these can be provided to Ideon at a Benefit level

• Executive or Non-Executive - provide the executive field

• Union or Non-Union - provide a status in the union field

• Overtime Exemption status - provide the exempt field

• Wage Frequency - provide an accurate wage_frequency value

• Job titles - Provide consistent values in the title field, which the Ideon Operations team can use to map

If the classifications are a combination of the above, we can also assign a member using more than one value, here is an example:

• If the account structure requires us to categorize Hourly "Welders" with 3 or more years at the company, we can do so if you provide the required field start_date in employment details, as well as titles, and compensation

Ideon will need to work with the Platform team to discern assignments for members when the Assigned categories are sub-companies, or are not tied to a location , plan subscriber or dependent value that you provide to us.

These can be provided as class or other types of employment classifications and assigned in the subscriber data. If your team wants to manage these assignments, they will pass through to Ideon!

We can evaluate complex classifications together to determine working principles for your system and staff. During implementation, the Ideon team will work with you to determine what is best for your system and the employers you support.
