We offer a range of health, dental, and vision benefits designed to support employees across different states. This article outlines eligibility, enrollment timelines, where to find plan information, and the benefit options available to you.
For example:
If your start date is March 15, your benefits eligibility date would be April 1.
Eligibility is determined based on a three-month average of hours worked and requires a review request from the employee.
Once an employee averages 30 hours per week over a three-month period, they become eligible for health benefits.
Once an employee averages 36 hours per week over a three-month period, they become eligible for dental, vision, and PTO benefits.
To initiate the eligibility review, the employee must submit a request. Hours are then evaluated based on the three-month measurement period to determine qualification.
You can review and manage your health benefits through Paychex by selecting “My Benefits.”
If you do not see the “My Benefits” tab in Paychex, scroll down and click “Submit a ticket” and HR will reach out to you as soon as possible.
Benefit elections must be completed before your eligibility
Any enrollments or changes requested after your eligibility date must wait until open enrollment, unless you experience a qualifying life event
Open enrollment takes place in June
Health benefit premiums are deducted bi-weekly from your paycheck
Employees who do not make benefit elections within their initial eligibility window may still request enrollment after their eligibility date, even if no qualifying life event has occurred.
Please note the following conditions apply:
Coverage will be effective retroactive to the employee’s original eligibility date
Payroll deductions will be backdated to reflect premiums owed since that eligibility date
Backdated deductions may be taken from one or more future paychecks to account for missed premiums
Because late enrollment can result in significant payroll adjustments, employees are strongly encouraged to complete benefit elections on time or contact HR with any questions prior to their eligibility date.
Employees can review detailed plan information by accessing the appropriate benefits brochure, linked here.
