| 01 | Company picks up extra cent | Specify the rounding factor on the component (e.g. 0.01) in the <BC Value> field. Adds the extra cent to the contribution amount when the premium is split between the company and the employee and the result is not exact cents. i.e. If the premium were $132.69/mo and the split was 50/50 between the employee and the company the amounts would be $66.345. Rounding the company portion would mean that the employee pays $66.34 and the company’s portion is $66.35. | [B0840 | BC-B0840] | |
