Benefits “To Do” Checklist
In your first month:
Enroll in your health & insurance benefits within 31 days of your date of hire. These include:
Note: If you were hired after October 1, 2024, you will need to elect benefits for 2024 (to be covered for the remainder of the 2024 calendar year) and 2025 (to have coverage starting January 1). Both elections can be made during the same enrollment session on NetBenefits.
To enroll, log on to netbenefits.com/Unilever or call the Unilever Benefits Service Center at Fidelity at 1-800-797-2363. You can also download the NetBenefits app and enroll via your smartphone or tablet. The Decision Support Tool—brought to you by Fidelity—can help simplify the process of choosing the medical plan that best fits your needs.
Important: If you do not make elections within 31 days of your date of hire, you will not have any health and insurance coverage through Unilever until the next Annual Enrollment opportunity.
At any point:
