Some tips for open enrollment. As a
0:03
night worker, you often miss out on live
0:05
open enrollment meetings that occur. If
0:08
your company does not host live meetings
0:10
during your shift, ask beforehand if any
0:13
meetings can be recorded and make sure
0:15
to ask to be paid for your time to view
0:18
the videos. You are legally required to
0:21
be paid for this time. If you have any
0:24
questions, ask the contact information
0:26
for the people informed for open
0:29
enrollment. This might be different than
0:31
the people who handled your initial
0:32
enrollment. So, make sure you know who
0:34
to go to. And again, submit your
0:37
responses to open enrollment at least
0:39
one to two days early to allow for
0:41
processing.
