Your Enrolment Window You have an enrolment window for the Flexible Benefits Program

It’s your responsibility to ensure you make your Optional coverage elections under the Flexible Benefits Program, including those for any dependent coverages, within your 31-day enrolment window. As long as you do, the Optional coverages you elect and the Company-paid Core coverages that you receive take effect on your date of hire (except if any evidence of good health is required). If you don’t complete your enrolment for Optional coverages within the 31-day period, your eligible dependents won’t be covered. And, you’ll default to the Core coverages plus Basic Health and Basic Dental coverages for you only. These default coverages will remain in effect for you for the remainder of the current year (unless you experience a qualified life event).

Additionally, if you don't enrol within the 31-day period and name a beneficiary for your Core Life Insurance coverage, a death benefit will be paid to your estate in the event of your death.

You have an enrolment window for the Retirement and Savings Program

Make your Retirement and Savings Program elections within 30 days of your eligibility date (90 days if you’re an hourly employee at East York or Scarborough). Your eligibility date is 30 days (90 days if you’re an hourly employee at East York or Scarborough) after your hire date. As long as you make your elections within your required 30-day (90-day) window, your voluntary contributions and Company matching contributions begin within two pay cycles after 30 days (90 days for hourly employees at East York and Scarborough) after your hire date. Note that your required contributions and required Company basic contributions automatically begin within two pay cycles after your hire date.

If you’re localizing from another country, your initial eligibility date is 30 days after your MDLZ Canada assignment date.
