See appendix from current manual. • Employees are enrolled through PA40 • In the future employees may have more options to enroll themselves online.
Benefits Enrollment: Automatic Offer Automatic Plans • Core life insurance & disability insurance are plans paid by SBBC with no cost to the employee. • Do not require employee selection. • All SBBC employees are enrolled in Automatic Plans; however an employee may choose to increase coverage in these plans.
Benefit Enrollment: Open Enrollment • During the “open enrollment” period employees select benefit plans for the upcoming year through ESS. • Employees who changed their health plan during open enrollment will not begin with their new health plan until their old plan has expired. Health plans effective dates are usually Jan. 1 – Dec. 31.
Change Notification to Vendors • All changes to benefits selections, including new hires and open enrollment must be communicated to benefits provider. • Active enrollments will be communicated to the Benefits Provider on a monthly basis via interface/report.
