Enrollment When To Enroll
NEW HIRES/ NEWLY ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS
When you are first hired or become eligible for benefits you have 30 days to enroll. If you do not enroll within this
enrollment period, you will not be eligible for benefits until the next Open Enrollment, unless you have a Qualifying
Life Event.
When you are a new employee or newly eligible your benefits will become effective on the first of the month
following 30 days from your full-time hire date.
OPEN ENROLLMENT
During Open Enrollment, you will have the opportunity to enroll or make changes to your benefit elections. You
must enroll by the Open Enrollment deadline for your benefits to be effective July 1.
You will not be able to change your elections after the Open Enrollment deadline until next year’s Open Enrollment
unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event. All changes are to be made in the Employee Self-Service portal in
Paycom.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO CONTROL COST
Due to increasing health care costs, there are steps you can take to manage your out-of-pocket health care
expenses. Use the following tips to save time and money:
• Always confirm that your physician, eye doctor, and dentist are In-Network by calling the customer service
number on your ID card or visiting the carrier’s website.
• Check your area for urgent care centers as an alternative to emergency room services. Only visit the
emergency room in the case of a true emergency. You can also use telemedicine to help treat a wide range of
non-emergency medical conditions.
• Use generic prescriptions, if available. Ask your doctor for a generic drug or request the generic equivalent
when having your prescription filled.
Important Notice: Some Americans must have health insurance or be subject to a penalty when filing their state
income tax return. You may obtain insurance from your employer’s plan, spouse’s plan, or the Public/State
Exchange .
