Enrolling in Benefits
Coverage for new full-time employees begins on the 1st of the month following date of hire. New employees who do not make an election within 31 days of becoming eligible will not be enrolled in any medical, dental, or vision plan.
After that, Open Enrollment is the one time each year that employees can make changes to their benefit elections without a qualifying life event.
Notify Human Resources within 31 days if you have a qualifying life event and need to add or drop dependents outside of Open Enrollment.
Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage
- Welcoming a new child
- Loss of coverage
- Leave of absence
- Loss or change in employment
