Risk Management & Employee Benefits

 

Attention Newly Hired Employees:

New hires have 60 days from their hire date to enroll in benefits. Benefits are effective the first of the month following 60 days of employment. Failure to enroll by that date means, you will be automatically enrolled in the Board-funded insurance benefits and will forfeit your right to enroll for optional benefits until open enrollment.
