The 2024 plan year Open Enrollment period is November 1-14, 2023. Our annual Open Enrollment period provides all benefit-eligible employees an opportunity to make changes to their current coverage or enroll in coverage that was previously waived. Changes can be made in the following benefit plans: Medical, Dental, Vision, Flexible Spending Account (Medical and Dependent Care), Supplemental Life, Short Term Disability, and Long-Term Care.
If you would like to maintain your current coverages at their current levels, with the exception of the flexible spending, no action is needed. Flexible Spending benefits must be renewed annually, and prior plan year elections do not carry over year-to-year.
We are excited to share that we will be holding an Open Enrollment Benefits Fair in the Warch Campus Center – Somerset Room on Wednesday, Nov. 1, 2023, from 11:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. This event will provide opportunities to meet with the University’s benefit providers, obtain benefit enrollment forms and the 2024 benefit guide, and connect with members of the Human Resources team about enrollment for the upcoming year.
Outside of the Open Enrollment Benefits Fair, the 2024 Benefit Guide and all enrollment/change forms can be found online and paper copies are also available. If you would like a paper copy of the guide and/or forms, please contact Human Resources and materials will be sent to you via campus mail.
The deadline to submit any open enrollment changes, additions, or cancellations to Human Resources is Tuesday, Nov. 14, 2023, at 4 p.m.
As noted above, if you do not wish to make changes to your current benefit elections, you do not need to submit open enrollment forms, with the exception of flexible spending. The flexible spending enrollment form must be completed if you want to participate in health and/or dependent care flexible spending in the 2024 plan year/calendar year.
Your Human Resources representative is available to assist you with any questions!
The 2024 Open Enrollment period will begin on November 1 and run through November 14, 2023. Our annual Open Enrollment period provides all benefit-eligible employees an opportunity to make changes to their current coverage or enroll in coverage that was previously waived.

To help you navigate these decisions, Transamerica provides access to tools, resources, and experienced financial professionals to help you plan for the future you deserve.
You can schedule a no-cost, no-obligation appointment with a retirement planning consultant (RPC) at a time convenient for you. An RPC can review your personal retirement strategy and answer your questions.

MAKE AN IN-PERSON APPOINTMENT
Don’t forget that Paycor training sessions will be held throughout numerous days and times throughout the month of October. Sign up for a session today to make the transition as efficient as possible!
If you are a supervisor…
Sign up for a supervisory training session. During this training session, staff and faculty supervisors will learn what Paycor is, how to navigate the system, how to fill out their own timesheets, how to manage their employee workforce, and more. You should attend a supervisory training session if you directly supervise other employees, including staff, faculty, and students.
If you are not a supervisor…
Sign up for a non-supervisory training session. During this training session, staff and faculty employees will learn what Paycor is, how to navigate the system, how to fill out their own timesheets, and more. You should attend a non-supervisory training session if you do not supervise any employees, including staff, faculty, and students.
If you are a faculty member…
Please note that the first half of the non-supervisory training is geared towards learning how to navigate the Paycor system. The second half of the training will be spent on managing timesheets (you do not need to stay for the second half of the training since the material does not apply to faculty). However, if you supervise any LU staff or students, we highly recommend that you sign up for a supervisory training session instead.
For both supervisor and non-supervisor sessions…
Please note the below room requirements based upon the session you sign up for:
Questions? Please contact humanresources@lawrence.edu.
Last call to sign up for a Paycor supervisory training session for October 6!
Supervisors will learn what Paycor is, how to navigate the system, how to fill out their own timesheets, how to manage their employee workforce, and more! If you are someone who supervisors other employees, including staff, faculty, and students, these sessions are for you!
For sessions held in Somerset, please bring a laptop with you.
