A typical day for the Benefit Calculation Analyst
You spend every day using manual calculators to complete different types of benefit calculations in the system queue to meet service level agreements with our pension plan clients.
You spend most days collaborating with your peers as you prepare to deliver a test grid for the upcoming client assumption changes. Once it is finalized, you begin to find suitable members in the system to test the upcoming changes. Test cases are then created to be sent to the plan actuary for their testing and certification before the assumption changes take effect in the system.
You spend some days completing ad hoc requests and identifying system defects.
- Review, manually calculate and verify complex calculations performed in the system.
- Perform research, analysis and validation on ad hoc requests and system defects.
- Develop and update accurate, user-friendly manual calculators using complex Excel modules.
- Act as a liaison between operational staff, technical professionals, external stakeholders and actuaries during development, implementation and updates of pension calculations in administration software.
- Provide insight, advice and recommendations within APS and to others, including clients, related to complex pension calculations, policy, regulatory and process changes.
- Evaluate administrative processes, ensure consistency with assumptions, calculators and processes.
- Maintain procedures and governance in accordance with industry best practices, audit recommendations and client requests for manual updating, maintenance and benefit administration, not limited to actuarial assumptions and inputs.
