Insurance coverage is effective the first day of the month following the qualifying event.
Open Enrollment for Benefits Each Fall
After an employee’s initial enrollment, the annual open enrollment period, each November, is the only time the employee can change pre-taxed benefit elections unless they have a qualified family status change.
Full time to part time
An full time employee with the medical benefit going to a part time position may keep the medical benefit for the rest of the plan year. The premiums will remain the same with the employer paying 60% of the premium. The employee must elect this coverage in Paylocity within 30 days of the status change.
