New Hire: How To Enroll 1

Automatic Enrollment

If you are eligible, you will be automatically enrolled in the Employee Assistance Program (EAP), core disability and basic life insurance.

You’ll also be automatically enrolled in the retirement benefits program, if eligible.

  • Full-time employee (hired after Dec. 12, 2023): automatically enrolled in the Mandatory Savings Plan at 6.2%, as well as the Supplemental Savings Plan at 2%.
  • Part-time employee: automatically enrolled at 7.5% in the Mandatory Savings Plan.

 

Need-To-Know Info

  • As a new hire, you must enroll in all benefits (other than the Supplemental Savings Plan) within 30 days of your hire date for coverage to begin when you become eligible.
  • If you do not complete your online benefits enrollment by the deadline as a new hire, you may not enroll for benefits until the next Open Enrollment in October 2024 (for benefits that will be effective on Jan. 1, 2025) unless you have a qualified life event during 2024. Additionally, you will not be enrolled for coverage under any optional plan.
  • Review your options carefully. Once you enroll, you will not have an option to make changes until the next Open Enrollment in October 2024 or when you have a qualified status change.

Easy Steps To Enroll Online

Enrolling for benefits is quick and easy with Parkland’s online enrollment system. From home and most work computers, you can enroll using the web-based MyParkland on the PeopleSoft Self-Service System.

Note: If you are enrolling from a non-Parkland device, you must register for remote access through DUO first. Use this link to submit a self-service DUO Request. For technical issues with the OTM Portal, contact the Technical Support Center at 214‑590‑5999.

Making Changes During the Year

In accordance with federal law, you may change your benefit elections during the year only if you have a change in life or employment status. Examples of life events that will enable you to change your coverage include birth or adoption of a child, marriage, divorce or loss of coverage. Review your elections carefully to see if your choices will fit your situation throughout the year. Change requests for status change event elections must be made within 30 days following the event.
