Mark Your Calendar—Open Enrollment for Faculty and Staff Begins Nov. 2

Thursday, October 29, 2020, By News Staff

Open Enrollment, the annual period when eligible employees reflect on their benefit options for the coming year, begins Monday, Nov. 2, and continues through Friday, Nov. 13. This is the one time of year when University faculty and staff may elect or change their coverage for many benefits, unless they experience a mid-year life event change.

All of the relevant Open Enrollment information, including benefit plan details, various resources to learn more and answers to frequently asked questions are available on the Open Enrollment website.

Questions About Benefits? Connect With Human Resources!

There are several ways for faculty and staff to connect with resources that will enable them to make the best decisions for themselves and their loved ones.

  • View the 24/7 on-demand information session to learn everything employees need to know about 2021 benefit offerings.
  • Attend a virtual information session on Wednesday, Nov. 4, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. or Tuesday, Nov. 10, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. to learn about 2021 benefits.
  • Contact HR Shared Services at 315.443.4042 or hrservice@syr.edu to get personal benefit questions answered. Virtual appointments are available upon request.
  • Connect with the University’s benefit vendors.

Faculty and staff can enroll online through MySlice from Nov. 2-13. If access to a computer for Open Enrollment purposes is needed, the University has a number of workstations available across campus, or they may contact HR Shared Services by phone or email during normal business hours.
