Review Employee Benefits (Insurance and Retirement)

  • See the New Employee Benefits Enrollment Checklist for details about how to complete your enrollment.
  • Determine out-of-pocket expenses (dental and vision, for example, are additional, out-of-pocket expenses).
  • Please note that you cannot make elections prior to completing ALL onboarding items in Workday. If onboarding is completed prior to 5pm, the My UT Benefits enrollment portal will open the following day. If onboarding is completed after 5pm, there will be a one day delay.
  • You must make your insurance elections online during your Initial Benefits Enrollment period, which is the first 31 calendar days of employment.
  • If you do not make elections and you are a full-time employee, you will default to the Basic Coverage Package.
  • If you are a part-time employee, you will forfeit insurance coverage if elections are not made.
