Benefits Enrollment & Changes

You may enroll in benefits during your first 31 days of full-time employment. However, once elections have been submitted, you are unable to make changes even if you are still within your 31-day enrollment window. You may also make changes to current coverage within 31 days of the date you experience a qualified change in status or change coverage during the annual open enrollment period. Open Enrollment is typically held November 1 – 15 each year, and elections made during this period become effective January 1 of the next calendar year.

    Legal Plan / ARAG

    Changes for 2024:

    • Rate reduction from $11.00 to $10.95 semi-monthly

    • Enhanced coverage - additional legal services included starting 1/1/24

    When faced with everyday legal issues, the majority of individuals don’t hire an attorney because these costs are often unplanned, unbudgeted, and more expensive than expected.  When legal events occur, you want to make the best decisions to address your specific legal situation.  You want to know what you are getting into before you commit additional time and resources.  And most importantly, you want to be assured of a quality outcome for yourself and your family.

    That’s why Maritz offers you a Legal Services Plan through ARAG as part of our benefits package.  For one low monthly price that is conveniently payroll deducted, you will receive legal protection that will help reduce the stress that drives at-risk style behaviors, medical costs, and absenteeism.  This legal insurance will allow you to react and respond better to unforeseen personal legal events.

    Cost

    The semi-monthly cost per paycheck is $11.00 for 2023, and $10.95 for 2024.
