How do I add insurance deductions to a new employee?
All insurance must be entered into ERS OnLine. It takes two nightly cycles for an employee’s insurance information from ERS OnLine to process into USPS and load to the HMTU1 (Group Insurance/TexFlex Participant Information) screen. If the insurance transactions did not come from ERS and you need to run payroll, you can enter optional coverages on the HMTU1 screen. The health insurance row on HMTU1 requires a LOA and a screen print from ERS OnLine showing the date health coverage began with the carrier and level of coverage. For more information, see HMTU1 – Group Insurance and/or TexFlex in the USPS Process Guide.
