Employee Benefits
Overview
New employees select their benefits when first hired. Current employees are permitted to change their benefits during "Open Enrollment," a once-a-year event. Changes can be made under more restrictive circumstances if the employee has a life-changing event during the year (for example a qualifying event would be birth or adoption of a child, death in family, marriage, divorce).
