All new hires are eligible for Simple HR Voluntary Benefits which include dental, vision, supplemental insurance (cancer, accident, sickness, etc.), and a mini-medical plan.  The eligibility is from their date of hire 90-days to the first day of the following month.  For example, if you were hired on June 10th, your first day of eligible coverage would be October 1st.  Your payroll deductions for any benefits that you enroll in would always begin 30-days prior to your effective date, which in this example would be September 1st.

You should receive a benefits packet to your worksite location between your 30th day of employment and your 60th day of employment.  Take the time to review this information, complete the Election Form and also any applications for benefits that you elect to enroll.  Return all of this documentation to the Benefits Department at Simple HR as soon as possible, either by fax or by mail.

It is very important that you do not miss your open enrollment period for benefits as a new hire.  Should you not respond within the time allowed, you will be ineligible for benefits until the next Annual Open enrollment which occurs each year beginning in the month of October.

If you do not receive any notification of your eligibility between you 30th day of employment through your 60th day of employment, you should immediately contact the Benefits Administrator at 850-650-9935, extension 37.  You will be sent a benefits packet of information as soon as possible.  Do not delay in reading through the information, completing the applications, and returning the packet to Simple HR.

A special note about the 90-Day New Hires:  This waiting period only applies to Simple HR Benefits.  Other benefits that may be offered by the Client Worksite Location may offer a different waiting period.  For example, if the Client offers their own Healthcare Plan, the waiting period may be 6 months or 60 days.  Ask your worksite supervisor about any other benefits that you may be eligible for.
