Handling a 27th Pay Period in 2026 for Oracle Benefits and respective Element Entries

Summary:

We are using Oracle Fusion Benefits with ADP as the payroll provider and seeking guidance on handling the 27th pay period in 2026.

The proposed approach is to process the final 2026 pay period with benefit deduction amounts set to 0, then end-date the related benefit element entries at the end of the 2026 plan year so they do not extend into 2027. New element entries would subsequently be created effective with the first pay period of the 2027 plan year, consistent with current annual enrollment process.

Content (please ensure you mask any confidential information):

1. we would like to end date the benefits rates except FSA and 401K as of 12/19/2026 and then re-start the benefit rate for 2027 as of 1/2/2027.
