[All_staff] 2015 Benefits Online Open Enrollment Period Starts Today, February 18, 2015

[Rhonda Barbosa]

Attention All Regular and Term Employees: 




The 2015 Benefits Online Open Enrollment Period for Jefferson Lab starts today, February 18, 2015 and will be offered through March 2, 2015 . This is your opportunity to review and, if necessary, modify your benefits options. 






Below are a few reminders concerning the Open Enrollment Process as well as important updates about prescription co-pay changes 

Default Enrollment: We will continue offering a Default Benefits Enrollment System. This means that if you are NOT changing benefits, selecting a medical option outside of the default health plan, and do NOT enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), you do not need to re-enroll. Your current benefit elections will remain on file and be effective for the April 1, 2015 – March 31, 2016 benefit year. 



Conditions in which you will need to access the Employee Self Service (ESS) System: 

    1. To make changes to your current benefit elections; 
    2. To participate for the first time in a Medical Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account Plan; 
    3. To continue your enrollment in a Medical Care or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account 



To access the Open Enrollment link, go to the Lab's Insight page, under Spotlight News. Or follow this link: 

misportal.jlab.org/time 




The link will take you to the Deltek Time & Expense System. Once, there, you will need to click “Self Service” at the top of the page and select, "Payroll & Benefits" and then "Benefits Enrollment" to enter the Open Enrollment Screens.
