• Make the change on the Card, not each employee• When bulk changes are needed, go the benefit card and make the
change• When saving, a prompt will be given
• What does it do?• Saying yes takes the changes you have made to the card, and applies them to all
Active Employee records that use this card.• If you choose no, the changes won’t be applied to existing records, however, when
a new record is created, it will use the new settings from the card.
