Next Steps for New Hires
Enroll in Your Benefits within 30 Days of Your Hire
You will receive an email to your Wolters Kluwer email from Your Benefits Resources (YBR), the Wolters Kluwer benefits administrator, within your first week with enrollment information and deadlines.
You can enroll and make your elections on YBR 5 days after your start date as this allows time for your information to be loaded in the system. If you go to enroll and are not recognized by the system, please contact YBR at 1-866-520-3280 for assistance. When you go to enroll, you can access a decision support tool that will calculate your out-of-pocket expenses based on your anticipated health care needs to find the plan that makes the most sense for you.
Once you have completed enrollment, please allow seven business days for your eligibility to be loaded by the carriers. If you need to use your benefits before your eligibility is processed by your carriers, you can pay out of pocket and then submit a paper claim to the insurance carrier.
What happens if I don’t enroll?
If you don’t enroll in benefits when initially eligible, you will only have company-provided coverage for Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Insurance, Short-Term and Long-Term Disability. You will also automatically be enrolled in 401k retirement savings plan. You will not have medical, dental or vision coverage. You will also not have any voluntary benefits coverage or be able to contribute to an HSA or FSA. You will need to wait until the next Annual Enrollment for additional options unless a qualifying life event happens.
Look out for your ID cards?
You should receive your new benefit ID cards within 10-14 days of completing your enrollment. You can also get them electronically added to your digital wallet.
Submit Required Dependent Verification within 30 Days of Your Hire
You will add your dependents when you enroll (with coverage starting immediately). After you enroll, you must submit documentation verifying eligibility for any dependents (spouse, domestic partner and children) you will be covering through your Wolters Kluwer benefits within 30 days of your start date.
Eligible documents may include:
- Birth certificate(s) for you and any covered dependents
- Marriage certificate (if married and covering your spouse)
Be on the look out to receive notifications directly from the Dependent Verification Services team outlining the required steps and deadline.
Enroll in the Wolters Kluwer 401(k) Plan
After you receive your first pay statement from Wolters Kluwer, you can register with Fidelity, the 401(k) Plan administrator, to opt out of the automatic enrollment or change your contribution amount. To register visit Fidelity at netbenefits.com (plan #90415) or call 800-354-6549.
30 to 45 days after your hire date, be on the lookout for information mailed to your home from Fidelity with details on your 401(k).
If you don’t make an election, automatic enrollment applies:
- Your contributions will start at 3% of your salary (on a pre-tax basis)
- Your contributions will increase by 1% each year (in April) until they reach 10%
