New Hire Benefits Eligibility

Dealer Tire, Sonsio, SimpleTire, AMI, and Sentric:

  • Full-time associates who are actively working a minimum of 30 hours per week are eligible for coverage.
  • Part-time associates who are regularly scheduled to work less than 30 hours per week can elect medical, dental, and vision benefits at the full benefit premium.

Dent Wizard:

  • Full-time employees who are actively working a minimum of 30 hours per week are eligible for coverage.

You must elect your new hire benefits within 30 days of your hire date. If you do not elect benefits during this time, you may have to wait until next year’s annual enrollment. If you have been approved for coverage that is backdated to an effective date in the past, you will be charged for missed benefit premiums retroactively in your next paycheck. For example: If an employee’s benefits are effective on 4/1/2024 but elections are not made until 4/30/2024, then the employee’s benefits are enrolled retroactively to 4/1/2024. Since two pay periods have passed between the benefits effective date and the enrollment date, the employee’s next paycheck will pay the current premium, plus any missed premiums during that time.

Covering Your Family Members

Family members are eligible to be enrolled in benefits if they fall into one of the categories below:

  • Legally married spouse
  • Children up to age 26 (some age limitations may apply to specific insurance programs)
    • Includes natural, adopted, stepchildren, or children obtained through court-appointed legal guardianship.

When enrolling a dependent in coverage, prepare to share eligibility information, such as date of birth and Social Security Number. Depending on your elections, dependent documentation may be required. Examples of documentation include: birth certificate, marriage certificate, divorce decree/separation agreement, or documentation from a previous employer or insurance company with the date that coverage ended or new coverage begins.

Reminder: Always verify your dependents eligibility each time you enroll in your benefits. Keeping up-to-date records on plan members will allow Dealer Tire to keep benefit costs low for everyone involved!

Life Events and Changing Benefits

Are you experiencing a qualifying life event that requires you to update your benefits? You have 30 days from the life event date to submit your benefit changes in Workday.

Examples of a qualifying life event include:

  • Change of legal marital status (e.g., marriage, divorce, death of spouse, legal separation).
  • Change in number of dependents (e.g., birth, adoption, death of dependent, ineligibility due to age).
  • Change in employment or job status (e.g., transition from part-time to full-time employee, etc.).

Once you make your elections within Workday, you will not be able to make changes until next year’s annual enrollment unless you experience a qualifying life event. If you have been approved for coverage-effective date in the past, you will be charged for missed benefit premiums retroactively in your next paycheck.
