6.0 PROCEDURES 6.1 Initial Benefit Enrollment - Newly hired benefit eligible employees are enrolled in the City’s benefit programs during benefits sign-up which normally occurs on the second day of each payroll period, immediately after employment. A representative of the People & Culture (P&C) staff explains the benefit options, answers questions and assists the employee in enrollment. Employees who wish to enroll eligible dependents may do so. Employees are responsible for providing the dependent information necessary for enrollment. 6.2 Annual Open Enrollment - During Open Enrollment each year, the P&C Department will provide employees with information about the coming year’s benefits program as well as enrollment paper work indicating current year benefit choices. The P&C Department will be responsible for providing educational opportunities for employees to learn about benefit options and ask questions. Employees wishing to make changes will complete the open enrollment paperwork and submit it to their departmental benefits assistant for processing. Some benefit programs such as the CityFlex spending accounts and Planned leave Without Pay require a new enrollment each year. During open enrollment, employees may add or drop dependents from benefit coverage without having a family status change. 6.3 Family Status Changes - An employee who has a qualified family status change may add or drop dependents throughout the year if the change is consistent with the status change. To make a benefits change resulting from a family status change, the employee must contact the departmental benefits assistant and make the change within 30 days of the family status change event, providing proof of the family status change if required by policy. 7.0 PEOPLE & CULTURE CONTACT Benefits 8.0 APPENDIX, APPENDICES Benefits Book Position Types (page 424 )
