If you were to hire a new employee around the same time as they would enroll in benefits during annual enrollment, you may want to adjust the annual enrollment to allow the new employee to complete their new hire benefits. This is typically due to different requirements during a new hire enrollment event compared to an annual enrollment event. For example, a new hire will be able to enroll in voluntary life benefits without needing to provide evidence of insurability, while an employee who previously waived the benefit would need to provide EOI to enroll in the benefit. If a new hire were to enroll in the annual enrollment first, they would need to provide EOI.

We offer a video training for this topic on Arcoro Learning.
