Getting started
Per IRS regulations, you must complete your benefit elections within 31 days of your date of hire. If you miss this new hire enrollment period, you may have to wait until Open Enrollment to elect coverage with Belkin. Open Enrollment is typically held annually in early November with all changes effective January 1 of the following year.
Payroll deductions for elections will begin the first pay date after your benefits effective date. We will deduct your employee cost from every paycheck for your elected benefits. If you enroll after a payroll has run, a payroll adjustment will be required. You will be notified separately if a payroll adjustment is applicable to you.
Who can enroll in Belkin benefits?
All active regular full-time or part-time employees who are scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week are eligible to participate in Belkin’s benefits program. You may also cover your eligible dependents under Belkin’s medical, prescription, dental, vision, and life benefits.
Your eligible dependents include:
- Legal spouse of the same or opposite sex -- or qualified domestic partner (same or opposite sex)
- Children under age 26, regardless of student, age or marital status
- Children who are fully dependent on you for support due to mental or physical disability, and are indicated as such on your federal tax return, may continue coverage past age 26
Enrolling is easy!

How do I elect or waive coverage in Workday?
- You will receive an action item titled Change Benefits for Life Event in your Workday inbox after you have entered your emergency contact(s) and direct deposit information.
- If you plan to enroll any dependents, please add your dependents in Workday first before making any benefit elections. Attach the required documentation directly in Workday - see below for what is required.
- Follow the Workday prompts to make your benefit elections.

Important reminder!
Even if you want to waive medical, dental and/or vision coverage, you must take action in Workday. If you waive coverage, you still need to enter your beneficiary information for the Company-paid life and disability benefits.
What documentation is required?
As part of Belkin’s ongoing efforts to ensure our benefit plans meet regulatory requirements and to help manage the cost of our plans for you and for Belkin, we require the following documents to verify that only eligible dependents are enrolled in our benefits plans. Please either attach the required documentation directly in Workday or send the documentation to the Belkin Benefits Team at BenefitsUS@belkin.com.

In addition, any amount paid by the company for your domestic partner’s coverage is “imputed income” and will be subject to federal income, FICA (Social Security-Medicare) and any applicable state income taxes.
