We currently have an employee group we don't use anymore as this particular group of union employees now have the same medical coverage. We can't delete this employee group because it is historically tied to one of our savings plans. Would we have to end this savings plan and set up a brand new one (risky as affects 250 union employee benefits). Currently we exclude the employee from the group to enter their benefits then put them back in (as our work around). We have problems every pay period when we want to make changes to the union employee's 401k election. Any suggestions on what we can do?
Based on the description of your workaround :console: I'll assume that the employees in this group are also in another EE Group that is eligible for the benefit.
If you've confirmed (in the system) that the EE Group isn't used at all any more, here's one option:
(1) Delete the Group Criteria (HR55.3) and the Group Employees (HR55.2).
(2) Run HR155 for that particular EE Group, and confirm the group is empty via HR155 output report.
You could also change the EE Gp description so that it begins with "NOT USED".
