Dear FPU Community,

At Fresno Pacific University, we are committed to a comprehensive employee benefit program that helps employees stay healthy, feel secure, and maintain a healthy work/life balance. Our goal is to provide you with coverage that is rich in benefits, at affordable prices.

Open enrollment is the only time you can change the following benefits (unless you have a “qualifying event” like getting married or having a baby):

Supplemental Term Life Voluntary Insurance Plans

This year’s Open Enrollment period will run from May 11th, 2020 through June 12th, 2020 at 5:00 pm. It is mandatory to review your benefits each year. If you are happy with your benefits you still need to approve them for the new benefit year and, remember that your flexible spending account does not automatically renew – you must re-enroll every year. All changes are made via MyWorkplace. If you wish to decline benefits, you must log in to MyWorkplace. This is necessary due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements and will affect your 1095-C tax forms prepared by Fresno Pacific University.

Be sure when you log into MyWorkplace to check your personal information. Make sure your dependents are listed correctly and that your levels of benefit coverage align properly to the new benefit year. It is important to verify your home address, preferred email address, and other personal information as well. You may return and make changes as many times as you want in MyWorkplace until open enrollment closes on Friday, June 12th, 2020 at 5:00 pm. *All enrollments must be completed no later than June 12th, 2020 by 5:00 pm. There will be no exceptions – extensions will NOT be granted this year.

If you need help with any aspect of open enrollment, please contact the Human Resources Team at [email protected] or 559.453.2245.

Blessings, Human Resources Team
