Check your enrollment window first
A practical guide for new Northstar employees
Northstar is a fictional example company. Enrollment dates and details on this page are illustrative, not actual Northstar policy. Your personal deadline, eligibility, and available plans may depend on your role, location, and the terms shown for you.
Open Benefits Management to review your enrollment window and the instructions for your available benefits. Use the deadline shown there rather than relying on an example date or a general onboarding schedule.

Your personal details
Have the information the enrollment checklist requests so you can complete the relevant fields accurately.

Dependent details, if applicable
If you plan to enroll eligible dependents, gather the details requested by the app. Check its instructions for eligibility and required documentation.
- Only provide information through the approved enrollment process.
Other coverage information, if requested
Some enrollment situations may ask about other coverage. Follow the prompts shown for your plans rather than assuming this applies to everyone.

Where to enroll
Complete benefits elections in Benefits Management.

Example timing and publishing notes
Illustrative timing only: A fictional Northstar employee might see a 30-day enrollment window in Benefits Management. That example is not a deadline for any real employee. Check the window shown for you in the app.
Before publishing: The benefits team should confirm current enrollment windows, eligibility rules, required information, plan options, and any differences by location or employee group. Confirm that office and frontline employees can access both apps and add the approved help and correction route. Add this page to the existing Benefits & Enrollment Hub and configure app connections or destinations through the appropriate setup process.
