Enrolling in Benefits
When Can You Enroll?
Benefits coverage for full-time employees begins on the date of hire, and you have 30 days to elect your benefits or make changes after a Qualified Life Event.
New employees must enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible. Benefits begin on your date of hire.
Existing employees can enroll during the annual open enrollment period.
If you miss the enrollment deadline, you’ll need to wait until the next open enrollment period.
New Hire Event and Open Enrollment Window
If you are a new hire and also in the Open Enrollment window with Spectrum Brands, you must enroll in both New Hire benefits and Open Enrollment benefits. If you do not complete both of these changes, you will not have benefits for the coming year.”
Making Changes After Open Enrollment
After Open Enrollment, you cannot make changes to your benefits during the year unless you have a Qualified Life Event and you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period to make changes, unless you experience another Qualified Life Event.
