EE Benefit Programs BEN_PROG_PARTIC records an employee's history of Benefit Program participation (enrollment). Program participation in turn controls the slate of benefits an employee may elect. Program assignment is either made manually through Base Benefits or automatically through Benefits Administration eligibility rules. Warning! For technical reasons, this record's schema shows that it is keyed by EMPL_RCD. This is not logically or functionally accurate. Throughout all of Base Benefits, when in the context of benefit enrollment, EMPL_RCD must be interpreted as an alias for BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. All benefit enrollment-related records are logically keyed by BENEFIT_RCD_NBR, so here EMPL_RCD actually contains the value of the appropriate BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. It is CRITICAL that all joins, comparisons, and updates to this record be against BENEFIT_RCD_NBR. Thus a typical driving join for benefit participation is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_BEN_PROG_PARTIC.EMPL_RCD, and a typical join for benefit enrollment is PS_PER_ORG_ASGN.BENEFIT_RCD_NBR = PS_HEALTH_BENEFIT.EMPL_RCD. The security and search views used in Base Benefits perform this "mapping" internally.
