Off Cycle Mass Element-Rate Updates?
Using EBS 12.2.14
We just finished our annual open enrollment, for a January 1 start date as always.
We are transferring to Oracle Fusion in 9 months, and in preparation need to transition from a separate medical and dental element to a combined element. We would anticipate this change being done 01-APR-2026. We have approximately 1,500 employees enrolled in benefits that we will need to have updated.
Is the best way to facilitate this by a mid-year open? If so, when I'm doing the setups and it asks for the Year Period- will using the same 01-JAN-2026 to 31-DEC-2026 cause any issues? Or should we amend the current year period to 01-JAN to 31-MAR, and a new one 01-APR to 31-DEC?
