We have a situation in which a participant who was eligible in the prior plan year was granted an unpaid leave in the prior plan year. This person was not "officially" terminated until after the start of the new plan year. The census received from the client indicates the EE's term date with $0 comp earned for the plan year.

Without modification of some type Relius will include this person in the testing. Reading up a bit on a participant with $0 comp it appears the most conservative approach is to not include this person in testing, especially if they are an HCE.

Has anyone run across a similar situation, and what is the best method in Relius for removing this person from testing.

Thanks for your help.

I have had similar situations a couple of times. In each case I ran eligibility & then after posting the tranasction I went into the Census Data & coded the employee ineligible. It may not be the only solution, but it is an easy solution.

Thanks R.
